A verified professional will get in touch.
Not every provider includes all of these. Ask exactly what is covered by the price.
Hours, wages, overtime, bonuses and deductions for each person.
Direct payment on your pay dates, with pay stubs.
Withholding tax, CPP and EI, and remitting them to the Canada Revenue Agency on time.
Tracking vacation pay and leave balances under your province's rules.
Preparing the record an employee needs to claim Employment Insurance.
T4 slips for employees and the year-end filing.
You run payroll in an app. It is the cheapest, and you stay responsible for every step.
The bureau runs payroll and handles the remittances, for a fee.
Payroll as part of broader accounting help.
Software for the routine work, and a professional for filings and advice.
Different rules apply, so check how a provider handles them.
The first conversation is about which option fits a business your size.
Which tasks, forms and filings are covered, and which cost extra.
Set-up, per-employee, per-run and extra fees, in writing.
Who is responsible for penalties and how fast it is fixed.
Including Quebec, if I have staff there.
Where it is stored, who can see it, and what happens if you leave.
And how to end it, and what it costs.
We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
Payroll software, a payroll bureau and an accountant each take on different parts. You hear what each one does and what stays with you.
Handing off payroll doesn't hand off your legal duties to the Canada Revenue Agency or your employees. You hear what to ask a provider to stand behind.
You can ask questions and compare, and nobody pushes you to sign on the spot.
Usually it works out pay, withholds income tax, Canada Pension Plan contributions and Employment Insurance premiums, pays your employees, and remits what you owe to the Canada Revenue Agency on time. Many also produce pay stubs, handle vacation pay and records of employment, and year-end slips. What is included varies, so ask for a list.
Yes. As the employer you remain responsible for deducting and remitting the right amounts on time, even if a provider does the work. Late or incorrect remittances can bring penalties and interest. Ask what the provider guarantees if it makes a mistake, and who pays any penalty.
They're the amounts you withhold from employees' pay, plus your own share of CPP and EI, that you must send to the Canada Revenue Agency on a set schedule. How often depends on the size of your payroll. A provider should handle this for you, and you should be able to see the payments.
Employers must give employees T4 slips and file them with the Canada Revenue Agency by the end of February. In Quebec, there are also Revenu Québec slips and different payroll deductions. Ask whether the provider files these and how Quebec is handled if you have staff there.
It's a form you must issue when an employee stops getting paid, so they can claim Employment Insurance. It must be filed within days of the interruption. Ask whether the provider prepares and submits it.
Software lets you run payroll yourself, often at the lowest cost, and you stay responsible for every step. A payroll bureau runs it for you. An accountant may include payroll in wider services. Ask each what they take on and what you keep.
It varies by provider, the number of employees and the services you choose. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for the full price in writing, including set-up, per-employee and per-run fees, and charges for extras such as vacation tracking or records of employment.
Employment standards, minimum wage, overtime, vacation pay, statutory holidays and payroll taxes differ by province, and some provinces charge employer health taxes. Ask whether the provider handles the rules for every province where you have staff.
Many can pay contractors, but whether someone is an employee or a self-employed contractor depends on the facts, and getting it wrong can be costly. If you aren't sure, ask a qualified adviser.
The length, how to end it and what that costs, how prices can change, what the service covers, and what support you get. Ask where your employees' data is stored and how it is protected.
What your business does, how many people you pay, how often you pay them, which provinces they work in, and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
