What this does
Some provinces charge employers a health tax on payroll, and every province has a workers' compensation board. SeroPayroll works out each amount from your pay runs and lists it as a remittance.
Set up
- Go to Settings › Locations.
- For each location, choose the Province.
- Enter the WCB account, WCB classification and WCB rate per $100.
- Tick Registered for employer health tax and enter the EHT account, where it applies.
The levies are priced when you calculate a pay run. The review shows Employer health tax, Health services fund and Workers' compensation under Employer costs.
Pay the remittance
- Go to Remittances and filter to Health tax or Workers' compensation.
- Open the row. It shows the payroll (gross pay and taxable benefits) and the health tax or premium for the period.
- Pay the agency.
- Choose Mark paid.
