Setup QPIP

Quebec has come up with the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan that must be incorporated for all Quebec Employees. This will have to be set up in Paymate before you can start deducting during payroll. Rate, Form assignment and Maximum contribution per year are subject to change and must be update by end user. 

To include QPIP calculation in your payroll, you need to add 3 payroll categories:

1. A Benefit for tracking the QPIP insurable amount
2. A deduction for Employee’s contribution to QPIP
3. A Benefit for Employer’s contribution to QPIP

Category for QPIP Insurable:

Steps:

1. Go To ‘Setup’ > ‘Payroll categories’
2. Add a Benefit
3. Assign a unique number and name to this category
4. Type should be Formula
5. The formula should be 100% of all the earnings and benefits that are QPIPable. For example, the formula should say:
   1. 100% of Salary +
   2. 100% of Hourly wages +
   3. 100% of Overtime 1+
   4. 100% of Overtime 2
6. Assign this category to T4 Box 56
7. This category should not be assigned to any boxes on T4A and RL1
8. Make sure this category is not subject to any taxes
9. Check off the ‘Maximum per year’ flag. The maximum amount is 71500.00 (Maximum contribution per year is subject to change and must be update by end user.)
10. Check off the ‘Reset at year end’ flag.
