Canadian Payroll Mass ROE submission to Services Canada Website

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a client that is closing down operations as Company A and therefore terminating all employees effective that day.  The next day, all employees will be hired onto Company B owned by a different group - so not all employees are out in the cold - this is a sale of company not a closing of doors type of issue.


So the question is - Can Company A do a MASS ROE for the 300 plus staff that need to be 'let go' and file that ROE with the Services Canada site in one big transaction, or do they need to do it in small bites.

I know that in the GP2013 Canadian Payroll there is a section for Mass ROE but I am comfortable in moving past the first screen without knowing a little bit more about what should be happening next.

Of course I know what will happen, I know that the ROE's will be created, but I need to know that once this is done a single XML ( like ) file will be available to file electronically.

Can someone confirm for me.  Call me chicken, but I want to press that button one time and get it right.  Oh, did I mention this came to our attention on Friday at 4 and they need to press the button on Monday (14th) at noon.

Just a bit of pressure.

    Bill,

    I talked to our PR master (that happened to be just back from vacations)... He said that you have to generated the ROE's only if the company changes registration with the CRA (i.e. Business # is new)... Otherwise, this is not required.

    In your case, if you have to go thru that process, I'd simply create a quick copy of the live company into a TEST company an run all the process to check if that works properly.

    If you're really short in time, take a full backup, get everyone out of GP, run the process and check your numbers.. If all OK, you can go forward, otherwise just restore the company.

    Hi Bill,

    It's Monday the 14th at 10AM... I'm not sure if you're still looking for the answer.. 2hrs before the deadline :-)..

    When our company was acquired in 2014, we did nothing such thing as far as I remember.. we just closed the books for FY in the midst of the month (which was the dumbest thing ever..) and started with a new FY..

    I had to backtrack all the closed past FY's to avoid a bad year numbering in the future, because the 2nd part of 2014 would automatically become 2015, as GP doesn't allow for a FY called 2014-1 & 2014-2 (would have loved that)..

    I used the PSTL to re-created all the FY's since the setup of GP back in 2004.. quite some work to do with a dozen companies.

    I'm going to task our Payroll master, but I don't think he did anything special, aside of closing the payroll for that first half of 2014..
