Topic Description

Are you in full compliance with employment and labour standards on how you produce employee pay statements for your organization? Does your organization follow industry standards and best practices?

Payroll practitioners are responsible for transforming legislation into organizational policy and practice, particularly in the area of pay statements. Given the many multifaceted aspects of employment and labour standards legislation that deal with pay statements, ensuring compliance can become quite challenging.
The production, issuance and distribution of pay statements are governed by federal and provincial legislation. This web seminar will review the laws, looking at summary charts of the legislation in the various jurisdictions. It will also explore the CPA’s Pay Statement Guidelines, discussing best practices and suggested formats and templates based on the input from seasoned payroll professionals and CPA members who contributed to the Pay Statement Guidelines.
Join us to learn valuable information and insights, which will help you assess the current practices in your organization for pay statements, and develop more effective company policies and procedures. You will be given guidelines for benchmarking when designing or implementing an in-house payroll solution for pay statements and related recommendations to prepare for a payroll audit.
The session will cover the legislation related to pay statements in all jurisdictions across Canada (federal, provincial and territorial), looking specifically at the following issues:
