Payroll in Sydney

Payroll for Sydney accountants, bookkeepers & businesses

Nova Scotia accountants handle seasonal tourism, fishing and hospitality payrolls alongside year-round professional firms. In Sydney, BooksAuto is used for restaurants, retailers and trades — each client in its own company with its own pay schedule.

Every pay run for Sydney employees uses the CRA's formulas: federal tax and Nova Scotia tax with TD1NS claim amounts, plus CPP, CPP2 and EI up to their yearly maximums. Approve the run and BooksAuto produces the pay stubs, cheques or direct deposit file, the payroll register and the amount to remit to the CRA with its due date.

Workers' compensation in Nova Scotia is administered by WCB Nova Scotia, and employment standards by Nova Scotia Labour Standards. BooksAuto's payroll register and year-to-date totals give you the payroll figures those reports ask for.
