What this does
Short meanings for the forms and files you meet at hire, at year-end and when you pay.
Terms

TP-1015.3. The Quebec form that does the same job for Quebec income tax.
ROE. Record of Employment. A Service Canada form that says why and when someone stopped being paid, with insurable hours and earnings. You send it through ROE Web.
T4. The statement of remuneration paid. One slip for each employee for the tax year, plus a summary. You give copies to employees and send the return to CRA.
T4A. A statement of other income. SeroPayroll uses it for fees paid to contractors (box 048).
RL-1. The Quebec slip, called the Relevé 1. SeroPayroll prints RL-1 employee copies.
PIER. Pensionable and Insurable Earnings Review. CRA's check that the CPP and EI you withheld match the T4s. SeroPayroll's earnings review runs the same check.

CPT30. The CRA form an employee aged 65 to 70 uses to elect to stop CPP contributions. The Tax tab has the dates.
Business number (BN). The nine-digit number CRA gives your business. With an account suffix, such as RP0001 for payroll, it identifies each CRA account.
