(Canada only) Before you can enter ROE Separation Payments you must set up the payment information.
For information on how to determine when you may need to select any of the separation payment options, refer to the "How to Complete the Record of Employment Form" document on the Service Canada website.
Separation payments are earnings paid to an employee due to separation (for example, vacation, statutory holiday, or other monies). These payments are reported in Block 17 of the Record of Employment (ROE) report.
To ensure payments are included in Block 17 in
ROE reporting, you must:
- create dedicated earnings codes that will be used
exclusively for each type of separation payment
- for each earnings code,
set up the applicable separation payment information in the Record of Employment
section of the PR Earnings Codes form.
To set up special payment information for an earnings code:
- In the PR Earnings Codes form,
select the earnings code for which you are setting up separation payment
information.
- Click on the Addl Info
tab.
- If this is an earnings for which EI premiums
are paid, or if CRA rules specify this earnings to be insurable, select the Insurable
Earnings checkbox.
If you do not
select this checkbox, earnings associated with this earnings code will not be
included within Insurable Earnings in ROE reporting.
- If the hours worked for this earnings are
insurable per CRA rules, select the Insurable
Hours checkbox.
If you do not select this checkbox, hours associated
with this earnings code will not be included within Insurable Hours in ROE
reporting.
- Select the Separation checkbox.
- From the Category drop-down, choose between V-Vacation, SH-Statutory
Holiday, or OM-Other Monies to indicate
the separation payment category.
- Depending on the category you selected, select the appropriate Pay Type.
- Save the record.
For each earnings code,
set up the applicable separation payment information in the Record of Employment
section of the PR Earnings Codes form.
