Payroll in Prince Albert

What a Prince Albert payroll actually looks like

Prince Albert has about 37,000 people, and forestry puts more of them on a payroll than anything else, with health care next. For whoever keeps the books that usually means a few substantial employers and a long tail of small ones — different pay schedules and different pay codes, all landing on the same remittance deadline.

The detail that decides how a Prince Albert pay run behaves is this: a service centre for the whole north, so many employers are small and serve a wide area — so what matters is how few steps a pay run takes, not how many features it has.

The August long weekend

The first Monday in August in Prince Albert

Saskatchewan Day is a statutory holiday in Saskatchewan. 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.

For most employers in Prince Albert — forestry included — the practical question is just whether the Monday is paid and what goes on the stub. Set it once at the company level and every pay run after it follows the same rule.

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

Questions

Payroll in Prince Albert — questions

Is the August long weekend a paid holiday for Prince Albert staff?

In Saskatchewan the first Monday in August is Saskatchewan Day. It is a statutory holiday in Saskatchewan, 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 forestry payroll in Prince Albert?

Yes. Forestry is one of the larger employers of people in Prince Albert, and the things that go with it — a service centre for the whole north, so many employers are small and serve a wide area — 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 Saskatchewan payroll deductions correctly?

Yes. Payroll for Prince Albert employees uses the CRA's T4127 formulas: CPP, CPP2, EI, federal tax and Saskatchewan tax with TD1SK claims, updated every January and July.

How much does payroll software cost in Prince Albert?

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 Prince Albert 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.
