Note: It is not necessary to enter hours into timesheets in order to process payroll for salaried

employees; however, if your employee is part of the “live-in caregiver” program, you may be required to

report hours worked. You can use the Timesheets to track the hours worked by your employee and

have the ability to run Hours reports at any time.

Select your employee from the drop-down box and select your payroll closing date.

The payroll closing date is the end of the pay period. Depending on the pay frequency you should

choose a payroll closing date as follows:

Pay frequency Payroll closing date

Weekly Week ending Saturday

Bi-weekly Two-weeks ending Saturday

Semi-weekly 15th or last day of the month

Monthly Last day of the month

If you are paying a bonus or another lump sum amount such as a vacation pay out or retroactive pay,

enter it in the Bonus/Lump Sum box.

“Accept Payroll”. If changes are required, click “Reject” and make the appropriate changes. You can

then re-run the payroll.

Clicking “Accept Payroll” will finalize the pay period – at which point you will not be able to modify

The PDF payslip can be printed or saved electronically for future printing or emailing.

The deposit amount shown on the pay slip is the amount to be paid to your employee. It is the

employer’s responsibility to pay this amount directly to the employee.

Payroll Taxes

All employers are responsible for withholding income tax, EI and CPP contributions from their

employee’s pay. As well, an employer must contribute an employer’s portion of EI and CPP. These

amounts are payable to the Receiver General by the 15th of the following month if you are a regular

remitter or every third month if you qualify as a quarterly remitter.

To determine how much the remittance is, select “Reports” under the “Reports” menu. From the drop-

down select “Source Deduction Remittance Report”. Select your employee and the period for which you

are remitting (e.g. monthly, quarterly).

Links to the above financial institutions can be found under the “Payment” menu.

Electronically

You may be able to remit your deductions electronically through your financial institution's telephone or Internet banking services.

At your financial institution

You can make your payment at your Canadian financial institution. Complete the remittance form you will receive in the mail and present it with your payment. The financial institution will date stamp the bottom part and return the top part to you as a receipt.

Using the ATM (automated teller machine)

If you use an ATM to send a remittance, allow time for the financial institution to process the transaction. The institution will debit your account when you use the ATM. However, you should allow time for the CRA to receive the remittance. An ATM receipt is not proof of payment by the due date.

By mail

You can mail a cheque or money order payable to the Receiver General to the address listed in your remittance form booklet or on the back of your remittance form. Write your account number on the back of your cheque or money order. Complete and include the bottom part of your remittance form with your payment. Allow sufficient mailing time to ensure that the CRA receives your remittance by the due date.
