Payroll done right, every pay period
Payroll mistakes are expensive. Late remittances bring CRA penalties, wrong deductions upset employees, and missing slips cause problems at tax time. Quartax runs payroll for small businesses in Mississauga and across Ontario, so your team is paid correctly and on time and every government filing is taken care of.
What our payroll services include
- Payroll processing weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly
- Direct deposit and pay stubs for every employee
- Source deductions: income tax, CPP and EI calculated on every pay
- CRA payroll remittances filed on schedule for your remitter type
- Records of Employment (ROE) when an employee leaves or goes on leave
- Year-end T4 and T4A slips and summaries filed with the CRA
- WSIB and Employer Health Tax (EHT) reporting where they apply
- Owner pay planning for incorporated owners: salary, dividends or a mix
Payroll deadlines we track for you
Most small employers are regular remitters, which means source deductions withheld in one month are due to the CRA by the 15th of the next month. Larger employers remit more often. Missing those dates brings penalties and interest, so we track your schedule and remit on time.
| Item | Usual deadline |
|---|---|
| Source deduction remittance (regular remitter) | 15th of the following month |
| T4 and T4A slips and summary | Last day of February |
| Record of Employment (filed electronically) | Within 5 calendar days after the end of the pay period in which the interruption of earnings happens |
Setting up payroll for your first employee
Hiring for the first time? We register a CRA payroll account under your business number, set your pay schedule, collect each employee's TD1 forms, and run your first pay. If you need WSIB coverage or Employer Health Tax registration, we tell you and help you set it up.
Fixing payroll problems
If you are behind on remittances, received a CRA payroll review such as a PIER letter, or filed T4s with errors, we reconcile your payroll records, file amended slips and deal with the CRA for you. See our CRA audit support page.
Payroll plus bookkeeping
Payroll ties into your books, your HST and your year-end return. Many clients pair payroll with our monthly bookkeeping, so wages, remittances and tax filings all reconcile in one place.
