Payroll Services

Compliant, On Time, Every Time

Payroll is the one thing your employees trust you to get right. Miss a payday, miscalculate a deduction, or misclassify a worker — and you're dealing with unhappy employees, CRA penalties, or both.

PCS manages payroll end to end for Canadian businesses — with deep expertise in the rules that trip up most firms, including Quebec's unique requirements and the compliance traps that hit trades businesses hardest.

We've processed CCQ payroll, navigated CNESST remittances, and caught the subcontractor misclassifications that other firms missed — before the CRA did.

What's Included

1.

Full Payroll Processing

Regular wages, overtime, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay — all calculated accurately for every pay period, every time. Weekly, bi-weekly, or semi-monthly: your schedule, handled.

2.

Statutory Deductions & Remittances

CPP/QPP, EI, federal and provincial income tax — calculated correctly, remitted on time. Not approximately right. Exactly right. Late remittances attract CRA penalties that are completely avoidable with the right team.

Trades & Construction — Quebec CCQ Payroll

If you have workers covered under the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ), your

payroll is not standard. Hourly rates, benefit contributions, regional parity committees, and

apprentice ratios are all part of the picture — and most payroll providers get this wrong.

PCS processes CCQ payroll correctly, including:

• Proper wage rates by trade and classification

• Vacation, holiday, and benefit fund contributions calculated and remitted accurately

• Apprentice-to-journeyman ratios tracked and maintained

• CCQ reporting handled — no missed filings, no penalties

3.

Subcontractor vs Employee Classification

This is one of the CRA's most active audit areas — and trades businesses are in the crosshairs. Misclassifying employees as subcontractors (or vice versa) creates retroactive tax liabilities, penalties, and interest. PCS reviews your contractor arrangements and ensures your classifications hold up to scrutiny.

4.

Year-End T4s & RL-1 Slips

All T4s filed accurately. RL-1 slips prepared for Quebec-based employees. Your team gets what they need for their tax returns — on time, without chasing you for corrections.

5.

Provincial Compliance — All Provinces

CNESST in Quebec. WCB in other provinces. Employment standards across jurisdictions. Multi- province businesses navigating different rules? We handle it.

6.

New Hires, Terminations & Records of Employment

Onboarding a new hire or processing a departure? Final pay, vacation payout, and ROE filing handled correctly — every time.

Why It Matters

CRA penalties are real

and entirely avoidable. We've helped clients avoid audits and

penalties that stemmed from a previous provider's errors.

Subcontractor risk is underestimated

especially in trades. One misclassified worker can trigger a review of your entire contractor base.

CCQ is not DIY territory

if you have CCQ-covered workers and your current payroll

provider isn't CCQ-literate, you have a problem you may not know about yet.

Your team expects accuracy

payroll mistakes damage trust faster than almost

anything else in a business.
