You can refer to the common codes and rules for forms.

Box 14: Employment Income

This box reflects the amount of taxable earnings for one province or territory. Subject to earnings at the province level are also deemed to be subject to federal taxes. This is different from the way the W-2 form presents this information.

For example, if an employee works in three provinces or territories, they will receive three T4 Slips.

Box 28: Exempt

The software will not provide a way to designate that an employee is exempt from CPP/QPP, EI and PPIP. The Payroll Administrator will manually select these options as needed. It is not expected to be that much of a burden as employees under the age of 18 or over the age of 70 and who have completed the appropriate form can become exempt.

Box 29: Employment Code

The construction industry is not one of those segments that is tracked in this box. For this reason, the software does not offer a way to default in a code for this box. If it is needed for some reason, the Payroll Administrator can manually enter it on the T4 Maintenance screen.

Box 50: Default RPP Number

This value is entered on the Build T4 Slips screen and will appear on the specific T4 Slip whenever Box 20 is non-zero.

Box 52: Pension Adjustment

If a pension adjustment needs to be made, the Payroll Administrator will create a specific add-on/deduction code to be used for this purpose. The code will then be assigned on the Build T4 Slips screen. This is expected to be extremely rare.

Box 55: Quebec's PPIP Premiums

The software will not calculate Quebec's PPIP premiums. The Payroll Administrator can manually calculate and add to the T4 Slip manually.

Other Information Codes

The software will only support up to six "Other" codes per employee. In the event that the employee has more than six of these codes, the Payroll Administrator will need to manually create additional T4 Slips.

Code 73: Number of Days Outside Canada

The software will not calculate the number of days the employee has worked outside of Canada. Instead, the Payroll Administrator will calculate this value and manually add this information to the T4 Slip manually.

By rule, the value entered into the 'Amount' field will display as a whole number for this code.
