HR and payroll compliance in Canada

Orvo HCM keeps each country's rules out of its core, in a country pack. Here is what works for companies in Canada today, and what a pack for Canada is designed to cover.

Available today in Canada

  • Employee records for every company

    One record per person from hire to exit, for each company you run in Canada and abroad, each company with its own base currency, such as CAD.

  • Sites in every province

    Each establishment keeps its province or territory and time zone, so rules that depend on where people work can follow the site, not the head office.

  • Biometric attendance

    ZKTeco fingerprint and face devices send punches to the cloud, or through an on-site gateway that holds them until they are safely received.

  • Leave and approvals

    Leave types, balances, and requests on web and mobile, approved by the right people in order, with every decision kept on record.

What a country pack for Canada is designed to cover

Payroll for Canada depends on its country pack, which is on the product roadmap. It is designed to cover:

  • CPP and QPP contributions

    Employee and employer contributions to the Canada Pension Plan, or to the Quebec Pension Plan for employees in Quebec.

  • Employment Insurance

    Employee and employer Employment Insurance premiums, with the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan for employees in Quebec.

  • Income tax withholding

    Federal and provincial or territorial income tax withheld from each pay, with Quebec's provincial income tax handled on its own.

  • Records of Employment

    A Record of Employment for each employee who leaves or stops being paid for a time, filed with Service Canada.

  • T4 and RL-1 slips

    Year-end T4 slips for the Canada Revenue Agency, and RL-1 slips for Revenu Québec.

  • Employment standards by province

    Vacation pay, statutory holidays, and overtime under the employment standards of the province or territory where each employee works.

Every rate, maximum, and threshold will be entered from official sources and checked by payroll advisers before it is used. None will be guessed.
