Built for the way Canadian businesses pay people
What it does
From the first pay run to the year-end slips.
Runs & pay
Switch mid-year with your history
Bring in what was paid before you switched so year-to-date maximums and the T4 come out right. Employees can be added from a CSV file.
Compliance
Deductions from versioned CRA parameters
CPP, CPP2, EI and income tax come from versioned parameter files, so a rate change is a data update, not a code change.
Year-end forms, produced as files
T4 and T4A slips and summaries, and PD7A remittance figures, produced as files for CRA. Each employee can get their T4 by e-mail.
Control & access
Built for firms and their clients
Owner, Admin, Accountant and Viewer roles. An accounting firm can be linked to the client companies it looks after.
See who did what
Payroll actions and membership changes are recorded with who and when.
Protection
SINs encrypted. Access controlled.
Social insurance numbers are stored encrypted. Two-factor sign-in is required, and a changed bank account is held out of the deposit file until someone confirms it.
Employer costs, worked out
Employer CPP and EI, the reduced employer EI rate when CRA has approved it, and employer health tax.
The application prepares the figures and files. It does not send anything to CRA or Service Canada for you. ROE (Record of Employment) data is prepared for you to check against your records and enter in ROE Web yourself.
Security & control
