Access: Payroll > Validate and process payroll > Process payroll

1If you have many companies, you can search for the companies to be processed using the filters available under Filters. To do so, fill out or select information in the various fields, and then click on Refresh.

2Select one of the following from the drop-down list in the Processing type section:

“Current payroll processing” to submit all your data (including Records of Employment) for the  specified period;

“Complete preview” if you want to view the net amounts or perform a final verification;

“preview – Employee selection” if you want to view the net amounts or perform a final verification for a group of selected employees;

“Records of employment only” if you want to submit only the data for Records of Employment between pay periods.

3Click on Submit.

4In the window shown below, click on Confirm to confirm your data submission or on Verify payroll transactions to return to the Verify payroll transactions screen.

Important

Do not forget to confirm the data submission. If you do not confirm the data submission, your data will not be sent and your employees will not be paid.

When transmitting the payroll, the system will validate the timeframe between the processing date and the payment date, if the processing date is different from the one on the pay calendar. If the set timeframe is not followed, the payment date will be automatically modified according to the set timeframes and a warning will be displayed. If you do not accept the payment date change, you will not be able to process your payroll and you will need to contact our customer service by submitting a request in the Contact us function (Docum > Contact us).

Points à retenir

The reports and summaries for your processing or your preview can be accessed via the Reports menu one hour after your data has been transmitted. (Certain conditions apply).

For the records of employment with secure automated transfer (ROE SAT) users, if P.P.1 of box 15C of the ROE SAT does not show any amount and/or quantity, a warning will display at the top of the Process payroll screen during processing transmission. This warning will invite you to refer to the Verify payroll transactions screen, and then to the Additional Information section to know which ROE SATs will not be transmitted (click on the hyperlink to the right of Number of records of employment in error to view the list of erroneous ROE SATs). You may then return to the employee’s payroll and make the necessary modifications, avoiding any rejection by Service Canada.

Please note that when box 17A contains a negative value, a warning message is also displayed in the Process payroll screen (during the transmission process). The Submit button will be available once the box or boxes of the messages are checked.
