Verifications differ depending on which distribution code is added.
1Verify the matrices. This step involves checking which earnings and deductions are taken into account for the added distribution code. Examples: earnings included in bonus calculations (a “52 Night Premium” earnings for which we only want to consider the amount, not the hours), etc.
a)Deductions on Earnings Matrix (eligible earnings when calculating deductions). Verify the deductions applied on each earnings, such as government deductions (QPP, taxes, etc.) withheld on earnings.
b)Earnings on Earnings Matrix (eligible earnings when calculating deductions). Check the gains applied and calculated on each gain, for example vacations or public holidays.
c)Deductions on Deductions Matrix (eligible deductions when calculating deductions). Verify the deductions applied on each deduction, such as government deductions (QPP, HSF, etc.) withheld from a support payment (Net Garnishment Percentage).
Legend:
oO (Yes) or N (No). The inclusion or exclusion of an earnings or deduction is identified by the indicators.
oA (Amount). Signifies that the calculation is based on the distribution code amount and not on hours.
o* (Asterisk). Indicates that the distribution code has been added or that the indicator has been modified, and that this addition or modification has been carried out to meet a specific need of your company. The asterisk is only present when the report is produced before or with your company’s first payroll.
2Make sure that information related to Agency Remittances and Third-Party Payments is accurate, namely the name of the organization, and the frequency and number of remittances.
3Verify the Government slip boxes associated with earnings or deductions.
