Payroll Processing and CRA Remittances

Outsourced payroll means someone else runs the pay cycle, calculates and remits source deductions to the CRA on time, and keeps the year-end filings clean. YNL processes payroll for Canadian employers across provinces, on salary, hourly and mixed workforces.

What’s included

Scheduled pay runs

Weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly cycles for salaried and hourly staff, including overtime, statutory holiday pay and vacation accrual.

CRA source deductions and remittances

CPP, EI and income tax calculated and remitted on your remitter schedule. Late remittances carry CRA penalties starting at 3% — a fixed cycle removes that risk.

Records of Employment (ROEs)

ROEs prepared and filed through ROE Web within the required window when someone leaves, goes on leave or has an interruption of earnings.

T4s, T4 Summaries and year-end

Year-end slips prepared, reconciled against your remittances and filed before the February deadline, with employee copies distributed.

Provincial employer obligations

Ontario Employer Health Tax, WSIB premium reporting and equivalent obligations in other provinces, tracked and filed alongside the pay cycle.

Multi-province payroll

One provider handling employees in more than one province, with the correct provincial tax tables, statutory holidays and employment standards applied per employee.

    Employees paid, source deductions remitted, journal entries posted to your books the same cycle.

  4. Step 4

Payroll Processing questions

What happens if a CRA remittance is late?

The CRA charges a penalty on the amount owing — 3% to 10% depending on how late, plus interest, and higher again for repeat occurrences. Our cycle builds the remittance into the pay run itself so the deadline is met by default.

Can you run payroll for employees in more than one province?

Yes. Each employee is set up under their own province of employment, with the correct tax tables, statutory holidays and employment standards. Multi-province payroll is included in our Growth and Scale packages.

Do you handle Ontario Employer Health Tax and WSIB?

Yes. Eligible Ontario employers have a payroll exemption before EHT applies; we track your annual payroll against it and file the instalments and annual return. WSIB premium reporting is handled on the same schedule.

Who is responsible if a deduction is calculated incorrectly?

We are, for errors in our processing — we correct them and handle the CRA amendment. Legal remitter liability always stays with the employer, which is why we produce a pre-run register for your approval every cycle.
