Retail payroll software for Canadian store owners
Running a store means your energy goes into the floor, the product, and your people. Wagepoint keeps payroll accurate and off your plate, so it’s one less thing competing for your attention.
Why Wagepoint
Your store’s payroll needs, covered
Retail teams are rarely the same two weeks in a row. Hours change, people come and go, and the holiday season brings a whole new round of hiring, onboarding, and eventually offboarding. Stat holiday pay, ROEs, vacation accruals — the admin adds up fast when you’re already running a floor.
Wagepoint manages all of it, so you can get back to the parts of your job you actually love.
Variable hours, calculated automatically
Enter hours each pay period and Wagepoint handles stat holiday pay, vacation accruals, and more.
Seasonal hiring, easy to manage
Bring on holiday help, issue ROEs when the rush ends, and their details remain in Wagepoint for when you need them next year.
CRA remittances, on time
Wagepoint calculates your source deductions and remits them to the CRA on the right schedule. No manual calculations.
T4s and year-end, handled
Complete your T4 workflow in Wagepoint and file directly with the CRA. No separate uploads, no manual calculations.

FAQs
Questions we hear from retail store owners
Part-time employees are generally entitled to stat holiday pay based on their average daily earnings over a recent reference period, but the exact formula varies by province. Wagepoint offers two statutory holiday calculation options so you can choose the one that best fits your province’s requirements.
When a seasonal employee finishes up, you deactivate them in Wagepoint and issue their Record of Employment (ROE) directly from the platform — it files electronically with Service Canada. When they come back next year, their record is already in your account. You rehire them, update their details, and they’re in your next pay run.
No. You enter the hours and Wagepoint takes care of the rest — regular pay, overtime, vacation accruals, and stat holiday pay all calculate correctly based on what each person worked. No manual math, no spreadsheets.
Yes. Wagepoint handles multiple locations in one account, with the correct provincial rules applied for each employee based on where they work. You’re not managing separate systems or making manual adjustments as you grow.
Yes. Wagepoint syncs payroll data directly to QuickBooks Online, so your books stay accurate without double entry. It also integrates with Xero and FreshBooks if that’s what you’re already using.
