01 - The Problem

Disconnected work creates hidden cost.

Payroll errors are rarely just calculation errors. They come from incomplete employee tax data, missed annual maximums, unclear approvals, and balances that do not reconcile to accounting or remittances.

Rules change every year

Tax brackets, CPP, CPP2, EI, credits, and limits must use the correct effective table.

Inputs need control

TD1 claims, exemptions, benefits, bonuses, and year-to-date values affect every result.

Corrections need an audit trail

Editing finalized payroll directly makes reporting and year-end reconciliation unreliable.
