Staying compliant requires employers to understand and adhere to federal and provincial regulations, including:

  • •Regularly reviewing changes to the Employment Standards Act and CRA rules.
  • •Using payroll software that automates calculations, tracks hours, and generates tax forms.
  • •Conducting internal audits to verify the accuracy of payroll records and remittances.

Employers struggling with compliance may benefit from outsourcing payroll management to a professional service. Providers like ADP or Payworks ensure adherence to laws, manage tax filings, and minimize the risk of penalties or disputes. Regular training for HR and payroll staff also helps maintain compliance.
