    How It Works

    Payroll in Three Clear Steps

    From employee setup to filed reports, the workflow is built around how Canadian accountants and bookkeepers already work.

    1. 01

      Quick Setup for Employer

      Onboard employees with TD1 forms, configure earnings, deductions, and benefit libraries, then set up pay groups and schedules — all through a guided setup wizard.

    2. 02

      Run Payroll Automatically

      Process regular, bonus, off-cycle, or YTD-adjustment runs. CPP, EI, and tax calculations apply automatically, including non-periodic Factor B rules for bonuses.

    3. 03

      Generate Reports & Pay Slips

      Export pay statements, the payroll register, CRA remittance summaries, T4 slips, and ROEs — ready for filing, employee delivery, or audit.

    Calculations As Per CRA

    Statutory Calculations You Don’t Have to Second-Guess

    Every calculation is done as per CRA. CPP correctly applies the basic exemption on periodic runs and skips it for bonus and off-cycle runs (Factor B). CPP-2 kicks in once an employee’s earnings cross the annual pensionable earnings threshold, and EI premiums are computed against current CRA insurable maximums.

    • CPP, CPP-2, EI with prorated YTD limits
    • Federal, provincial and territorial tax brackets
    • Regular, bonus & off-cycle pay runs
    • TD1 amount and percentage overrides
