Payroll in Whitehorse

What a Whitehorse payroll actually looks like

Whitehorse has about 28,000 people, and territorial government puts more of them on a payroll than anything else, with tourism 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 Whitehorse pay run behaves is this: government salaries anchor the city, while tourism and mining services swing hard with the season — so the year has a shape, and the payroll has to follow it — a crowd of hires in one quarter and a stack of records of employment in another, each one produced as the person leaves rather than in a scramble afterwards.

The August long weekend

The first Monday in August in Whitehorse

Discovery Day, on the third Monday in August is a statutory holiday in Yukon. 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.

Locally this is less a question about a day off than about covering a busy weekend. With territorial government among the largest employers in Whitehorse, a good share of staff work that Monday — so what matters is that the hours and any premium land on the stub correctly, which is what the pay codes are for.

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

Questions

Payroll in Whitehorse — questions

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

In Yukon the first Monday in August is Discovery Day, on the third Monday in August. It is a statutory holiday in Yukon, 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 territorial government payroll in Whitehorse?

Yes. Territorial government is one of the larger employers of people in Whitehorse, and the things that go with it — government salaries anchor the city, while tourism and mining services swing hard with the season — 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 Yukon payroll deductions correctly?

Yes. Payroll for Whitehorse employees uses the CRA's T4127 formulas: CPP, CPP2, EI, federal tax and Yukon tax with TD1YT claims, updated every January and July.

How much does payroll software cost in Whitehorse?

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 Whitehorse 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.
