The end is nigh! Payroll year-end, that is. Actually, payroll year-end is December 31 – but the looming deadline is February 28, by which time all employers and payers must file T4s, T4As, and perhaps other tax slips for their employees and contractors.
Within the nonprofit and broader social impact sector, processing payroll is one of the most important, and administratively burdensome, ongoing business tasks. It’s also the largest budget commitment – yet many managers lack a clear understanding of Canada’s regulatory framework, leaving their organizations exposed to compliance risks.
Although the pressure is highest in February, the constantly changing landscape can prove challenging year-round, and keeping your organization compliant at all times is critically important. Luckily, you can learn some key tips and information to help you stay on top of crucial legislation so that you can spend more time focusing on your mission.
This three-part workshop (attend one or all) spans technical knowledge, key regulatory requirements, and common payroll pain points for decision-makers. There will be LOTS of Q&A time in these sessions! Bring your payroll questions and your specific T4 and other T-slip questions! Alicia, from Young Associates will help you manage payroll successfully!
Key topics covered:
-
Common payroll challenges for nonprofit and social purpose organizations
