FAQs
Questions we hear from law firm owners
Yes. Wagepoint handles salaried employees and contract workers in the same pay run. T4s go to your employees and T4As go to contractors, with each person’s deductions, vacation accruals, and pay type calculated correctly without manual adjustments from you.
Both are processed alongside regular salary in the same pay run. CPP, EI, and vacation pay all calculate correctly on total earnings — whether that’s a year-end bonus or a commission payment. If you’re unsure how a specific compensation structure should be treated for payroll purposes, your accountant is the right resource.
It depends on how your practice is structured. If you operate as an incorporated professional corporation and pay yourself a salary, yes — you’d run payroll for yourself the same way you would for any other employee. If you’re unincorporated and drawing income directly from the practice, that’s typically not processed through payroll. Your accountant can confirm the right structure for your situation.
When someone leaves, you issue their Record of Employment (ROE) directly from Wagepoint. It files electronically with Service Canada— no paper forms, no manual submission. Their T4 is also generated and filed at year-end at no extra cost.
Yes. Wagepoint calculates taxes appropriately based on each employee’s province of employment, with the ability to track vacation and pay statutory holiday pay. You don’t need to make manual adjustments as your firm grows.
