Payroll software in Saskatoon

Payroll in Saskatoon

What a Saskatoon payroll actually looks like

With about 270,000 people, Saskatoon is big enough that potash and mining and agricultural technology 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 Saskatoon pay run behaves is this: mining and university payrolls sit side by side here — continuous shifts in one, academic terms in the other.

The August long weekend

The first Monday in August in Saskatoon

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.

On a continuous operation this is a scheduling question as much as a pay one. Where Saskatoon 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 Saskatchewan Employment Standards before you rely on it for a pay run.

Set by the province, not the city

The Saskatchewan rules behind a Saskatoon pay run

Questions

Payroll in Saskatoon — questions

Is the August long weekend a paid holiday for Saskatoon 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 potash and mining payroll in Saskatoon?

Yes. Potash and mining is one of the larger employers of people in Saskatoon, and the things that go with it — mining and university payrolls sit side by side here — continuous shifts in one, academic terms in the other — 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 Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon?

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 Saskatoon 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.
