Automated Payroll Calculations
Gross to net with the CRA's T4127 formulas: CPP, CPP2, EI, federal and provincial tax, bonuses and YTD maximums.
In Brantford, that means manufacturing, food processing and logistics — different hours, different pay codes, one pay run each. CRA-accurate CPP, EI and Ontario tax, cheques, direct deposit, PD7A, T4s and ROEs — online or on Windows.
With about 100,000 people, Brantford is big enough that manufacturing and food processing 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 Brantford pay run behaves is this: mid-sized plants on one or two shifts, where overtime is the main variable each pay period — so the hard part is not the arithmetic but the shape of the period — long cycles, premiums and allowances that each need their own pay code if the stub is going to make sense.
In Brantford the first Monday in August is Founders' Day — its own municipal name, which is why you will see it written differently a town or two away.
It is not a public holiday under the Ministry of Labour (Employment Standards Act), so no public holiday pay is owed for it unless an employment contract or a collective agreement provides one. Plenty of Brantford employers close anyway and pay staff for the day — that is a choice, not a requirement. BooksAuto treats it as an ordinary working day until you add it as a company holiday, at which point it is paid the way you set it.
On a continuous operation this is a scheduling question as much as a pay one. Where Brantford 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 Ministry of Labour (Employment Standards Act) before you rely on it for a pay run.

Yes. Manufacturing is one of the larger employers of people in Brantford, and the things that go with it — mid-sized plants on one or two shifts, where overtime is the main variable each pay period — 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.
