Canadian payroll rules, built in
Fusion Payroll follows CRA's T4127 payroll deduction formulas and the provincial rules for every province and territory except Quebec. This is what it covers.
Deductions and tax
- Federal and provincial income tax follow CRA's T4127 formulas, including CRA's bonus method for bonuses and retroactive pay.
- CPP, CPP2 and EI are deducted every pay and stop at the yearly maximums, counted in pay-date order.
- The Ontario Health Premium is calculated from its official income bands, up to the $900 maximum.
- Every province and territory except Quebec. Payroll for a Quebec employee is blocked rather than calculated wrong.
- The calculation engine is checked by automated tests against CRA's published values.
Pay
- Run weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly payroll schedules.
- Include vacation, statutory-holiday and overtime pay in payroll.
- Statutory-holiday calendars and holiday-pay formulas for all twelve supported jurisdictions.
Year-end slips
- T4 slips, T4 Summaries and T4A slips print on CRA's own PDF forms.
- T4 and T4A returns export as XML, including amended and cancelled returns.
Records of Employment
- Records of Employment export as a BLK file, built to match a file that ROE Web accepted.
- Paper copies print with a NOT FOR SUBMISSION watermark, so they are never mistaken for the filed record.
Remittances (PD7A)
- Each paycheque's CPP, EI and income tax belongs to exactly one CRA remittance, with a PD7A worksheet and voucher to print.
- Your remitter type is checked against CRA's average monthly withholding thresholds.
- Workers' compensation, union dues and garnishments are remitted separately from CRA, each to its own payee.
- With Fusion CRA Account Ledger, CRA's own payroll account lines are matched to your remittances and short or excess payments are flagged.
Direct deposit and records
- Create CPA-005 direct-deposit files and lock exported paycheques once the bank-upload stamp is recorded.
- Keep the original pay facts on generated paycheques so later employee changes do not silently reprice them.
- SIN validation on every employee record.
- Thirteen payroll reports, from paycheque history and tax liability to total payroll cost and workers' compensation, export to spreadsheets and PDF.
- Import historical paycheques, filed T4 XML, ROE BLK records and remittance history for payroll migration.
Always current with CRA
CRA publishes new payroll deduction formulas twice a year, effective January 1 and July 1. When it does, we publish an update for Fusion Payroll.
Your system checks for updates every week and tells your payroll managers when one is waiting. Each update is signed by Nexa and verified before it is offered, and one click shows exactly what changes and applies it. You never re-enter rates.
Rates are kept with the date they take effect, so pay dated before a change keeps the old rate and pay dated after it gets the new one.
Recent updates
-
- 2027 statutory-holiday calendars for all twelve supported jurisdictions.
