Payroll in Alberta
Built for how Alberta firms work
Alberta payrolls swing with the seasons — energy, construction and agriculture bring overtime, bonuses and off-cycle runs.
BooksAuto keeps every client in its own company, with its own pay frequency, remitter type and cheque numbers. When the client is in Alberta, BooksAuto applies the CRA's Alberta income tax tables and TD1AB claim amounts automatically — alongside federal tax, CPP, CPP2 and EI — and shows the math behind every cheque.
When the run is approved, you get pay stubs, cheques on your own stock or a CPA-005 direct deposit file, the payroll register and the PD7A amount with its due date. At year-end, T4 slips and the T4 Summary are exported as CRA-ready XML, and ROEs go to ROE Web.
