Delta, British Columbia

Payroll software in Delta

In Delta, that means greenhouse agriculture, the port at Deltaport and fishing — different hours, different pay codes, one pay run each. CRA-accurate CPP, EI and British Columbia tax, cheques, direct deposit, PD7A, T4s and ROEs — online or on Windows.

Payroll in Delta

What a Delta payroll actually looks like

With about 110,000 people, Delta is big enough that greenhouse agriculture and the port at Deltaport need quite different pay runs, and small enough that one person often does both. That is the case BooksAuto is built for — several companies, each with its own pay schedule, from one login.

The detail that decides how a Delta pay run behaves is this: greenhouse and port work pull in opposite directions — one is seasonal, the other is round-the-clock shift work.

The August long weekend

The first Monday in August in Delta

British Columbia Day is a statutory holiday in British Columbia. Eligible employees are owed public holiday pay, and BooksAuto works the entitlement out from what they earned in the weeks before it, shows it as its own line on the pay stub, and keeps it out of the hours that count towards overtime.

On a continuous operation this is a scheduling question as much as a pay one. Where Delta staff are rostered straight through the long weekend, BooksAuto keeps the holiday treatment and the shift premium as separate pay codes, so the stub shows which is which and the overtime base stays correct.

Employment standards change. Confirm the current position with the Employment Standards Branch before you rely on it for a pay run.

Questions

Payroll in Delta — questions

Is the August long weekend a paid holiday for Delta staff?

In British Columbia the first Monday in August is British Columbia Day. It is a statutory holiday in British Columbia, so eligible employees are owed public holiday pay — BooksAuto works out the entitlement from their earnings in the weeks before it and shows it as its own line on the pay stub.

Does BooksAuto suit greenhouse agriculture payroll in Delta?

Yes. Greenhouse agriculture is one of the larger employers of people in Delta, and the things that go with it — greenhouse and port work pull in opposite directions — one is seasonal, the other is round-the-clock shift work — are handled rather than worked around: hourly and salaried staff on the same run, overtime and shift premiums as their own pay codes, and a record of employment produced the moment somebody leaves.

Does it calculate British Columbia payroll deductions correctly?

Yes. Payroll for Delta employees uses the CRA's T4127 formulas: CPP, CPP2, EI, federal tax and British Columbia tax with TD1BC claims, updated every January and July.

How much does payroll software cost in Delta?

The same everywhere in Canada: $10 per company per month for up to 10 employees, $25 for up to 20 and $45 with no limit — 50% off for your first year. Accounting firms pay $3 Payroll + $3 Bookkeeping per client per month.

Can I pay Delta employees by cheque or direct deposit?

Both. Print cheques on your pre-printed stock — numbered up or down to match the paper — or create a CPA-005 direct deposit file for your bank, and email pay stubs to every employee.
