NEW QUESTION # 43
Expense reimbursements are:
- A. Values attributed to something the employer has either provided to an employee or paid for on an employee's behalf
- B. Dollar amounts the employer pays for the work an employee performs
- C. Dollar amounts paid to employees to cover expenses that they incur while performing their job
- D. Dollar amounts paid to employees for the use of their personal property for business purposes
Answer: C
Explanation:
An expense reimbursement is paid to repay an employee for actual business expenses the employee incurred while performing their job (for example, meals while travelling on business, supplies purchased for work, etc.). CRA's taxable benefits guidance distinguishes reimbursements from allowances: an allowance is usually a predetermined amount paid without the employee having to support the expense with receipts, while a reimbursement is tied to actual costs.
That distinction matters because reimbursements are generally not compensation for work performed (so they are not "earnings"), and they are not "benefits" in the sense of a good or service provided by the employer (though CRA notes that benefits can include reimbursements of personal expenses-so payroll must still ensure the reimbursement is for business use and properly supported).
Option A correctly describes reimbursements. Option B is typically an allowance (for example, a vehicle allowance for using personal property). Option C describes earnings (wages/salary). Option D describes benefits (value of something provided or paid for on the employee's behalf).
NEW QUESTION # 44
A retiring allowance includes:
- A. None of the above
- B. Bonus or incentive pay
- C. Vacation pay
- D. Legislated wages in lieu of notice in Quebec
- E. Accumulated overtime
Answer: A
Explanation:
The CRA defines a retiring allowance (also called severance pay) as an amount paid when or after an employee retires or loses their job, in recognition of long service or for the loss of employment.
However, the CRA is also explicit about what a retiring allowance does not include. It does not include
"salary, wages, bonuses, [or] overtime," which rules out bonus/incentive pay and accumulated overtime in the options. It also does not include "payments for accumulated vacation leave not taken," which rules out vacation pay as a retiring allowance. Finally, it does not include wages in lieu of termination notice, which rules out wages in lieu (including legislated notice pay) as a retiring allowance.
Because every listed item is specifically excluded by CRA guidance, the correct answer is None of the above (E).
NEW QUESTION # 45
Paula is granted a pay increase. The paperwork informing the payroll department of the pay increase is two pay periods late. What method would be used to calculate income taxes on the separate retroactive payment?
- A. Bonus tax method
- B. Lump-sum tax method
- C. Tax table method
- D. Retroactive tax method
Answer: D
Explanation:
A payment made to "catch up" wages because a pay increase was processed late is a retroactive payment. The CRA provides different income tax calculation approaches depending on the payment type and specifically lists "Retroactive payments" as its own category, separate from regular tax-table calculations, lump-sum, and bonus/irregular methods.
For bonuses and retroactive pay increases, the CRA also points employers to the Payroll Deductions Online Calculator (PDOC) to calculate CPP, EI, and income tax correctly, which aligns with using the appropriate CRA method for retroactive amounts.
Because this situation is explicitly a retroactive adjustment (two pay periods late), the correct choice is the Retroactive tax method (option C), not the bonus/irregular method, not the lump-sum method, and not the regular tax tables.
NEW QUESTION # 46
An employee who lives in Ontario and reports to work at a permanent establishment of the employer in Quebec will have income tax deducted based on which province?
- A. Ontario
- B. Employee's choice
- C. Quebec
- D. Ontario & Quebec
Answer: C
Explanation:
For payroll deductions, the key concept is the employee's province of employment (POE)-not where they live. The CRA states that the POE is determined primarily by the employer's establishment where the employee "reports for work." If an employee reports for work at an employer's establishment located in Quebec, then the POE is Quebec, even if the employee's province of residence is Ontario.
This matters because Quebec has distinct payroll requirements. The CRA notes that when the POE is Quebec, employers must apply Quebec-based payroll rules, including deducting Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) contributions instead of CPP, and deducting Quebec parental insurance plan (QPIP) premiums, along with Quebec provincial income tax withholding.
In practice, payroll must set up the employee using Quebec as the POE and ensure stakeholders (HR, finance, the employee) understand why deductions may differ from Ontario residents working in Ontario. Any over
/under-withholding due to POE vs. residence is typically reconciled when the employee files their personal tax return.
NEW QUESTION # 47
Which statutory deductions is salary continuance subject to?
- A. All deductions
- B. All deductions except Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- C. All deductions except Employment Insurance and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- D. All deductions except Employment Insurance premiums
Answer: A
Explanation:
Salary continuance means the employee continues to receive regular pay (and often benefits) for a period after their job ends. In this arrangement, the payments are treated like regular employment income for payroll purposes, so the usual payroll deductions apply. A Government of Canada guidance page explains that when severance is paid as salary continuance, the employee pays income tax like regular employment income and that the usual deductions apply, including CPP (or QPP), EI premiums, and RPP contributions (where applicable).
This aligns with standard payroll obligations in CRA's payroll remittance framework: employers deduct and remit CPP contributions, EI premiums, and income tax on employment income unless a specific exemption applies.
Therefore, the correct option is B (All deductions)-and in Quebec, that "all deductions" concept includes Quebec-specific programs (for example QPP/QPIP where applicable) based on the employee's province of employment and insurability rules.
NEW QUESTION # 48
A premium payment for overtime hours worked or a rate per piece of goods produced is an example of:
- A. Expense reimbursements
- B. Benefits
- C. Earnings
- D. Allowances
Answer: C
Explanation:
Overtime premiums and piece-rate pay are forms of earnings because they are amounts paid for work performed. CRA's payroll guidance confirms overtime pay is remuneration from which you must deduct statutory deductions (CPP, EI, and income tax), reflecting that overtime is treated as employment earnings.
Similarly, piecework (piece-rate pay) is a method of paying wages based on units produced rather than time.
It is still compensation for labour and therefore part of gross earnings used to calculate payroll deductions and net pay. This is fundamentally different from:
Expense reimbursements, which repay employee-incurred business costs (not pay for work).
Allowances, which are predetermined amounts to help cover anticipated expenses without receipts.
Benefits, which are the value of goods/services provided by the employer or paid on the employee's behalf.
So a premium paid for overtime hours or a piece-rate per unit produced is classified as earnings (option A).
NEW QUESTION # 49
Which pension plan requires the services of an actuary to study and forecast future needs of the plan to ensure the plan remains sufficiently funded to provide employees with their retirement benefits?
- A. Defined benefit pension plan
- B. Defined contribution pension plan
- C. Registered Retirement Savings Plan
- D. All of the above
Answer: A
Explanation:
A defined benefit (DB) pension plan promises a future pension benefit based on a formula (for example, service and earnings). Because the benefit is defined, the plan must ensure it is adequately funded to meet future liabilities. That requires actuarial valuations-professional studies that forecast future obligations and determine required contributions. Regulators describe DB plan funding as being based on actuarial calculations and require administrators to file actuarial valuation reports to establish funding and contribution requirements.
A defined contribution (DC) plan does not promise a specific future pension amount; contributions are defined, and the retirement outcome depends on investment performance-so it does not require the same ongoing actuarial funding valuations for promised liabilities. An RRSP is an individual savings plan, not an employer DB plan requiring actuarial funding reports.
Therefore, the correct answer is Defined benefit pension plan (option A).
NEW QUESTION # 50
The Canada Revenue Agency form that is completed to allow a commissioned employee to claim non- reimbursed expenses at source is a:
- A. TP-1015.R.13.1-V
- B. TD1
- C. T777
- D. TD1X
Answer: D
Explanation:
The CRA form used to adjust payroll income tax withholdings at source for employees who earn commission income and have commission expenses is Form TD1X - Statement of Commission Income and Expenses for Payroll Tax Deductions. The CRA explains that an employee completes TD1X if they receive commission income (or salary plus commission) and want the employer to adjust tax deductions to take commission expenses into account.
This is different from:
TD1, which is the Personal Tax Credits Return used to claim basic/personal credits and determine standard withholding (not commission-expense adjustments).
T777, which is used to claim employment expenses on the employee's personal tax return (not to reduce payroll withholding at source).
TP-1015.R.13.1-V, which is a Quebec form used to request a reduction of Quebec income tax withholding in specific situations (not the CRA commission-expense at-source form).
Operationally, payroll should keep the TD1X on file and apply it to income tax withholding calculations until the employee updates or replaces it.
NEW QUESTION # 51
Michael is an employee in Alberta who is paid bi-weekly and earns $1,600.00 per pay period. He has a taxable meal allowance of $30.00 per pay period. His federal and provincial TD1s on file show a claim code
2. Michael already reached the annual maximum first and second Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions before this pay. Calculate his total federal and provincial income taxes.
Answer:
Explanation:
(total federal + Alberta tax): $173.48
Explanation:
Taxable gross for the period = $1,600.00 + $30.00 = $1,630.00 (a taxable allowance is included in income for tax withholding).
Using CRA T4032-AB (Biweekly, 26 pay periods) with claim code 2:
Federal tax at pay $1,630 falls in the $1,619-$1,635 range # CC2 = $107.35.
Alberta provincial tax at pay $1,630 falls in the $1,628-$1,644 range # CC2 = $46.55.
Subtotal tax from the tables = $107.35 + $46.55 = $153.90.
CRA notes these tax tables build in the tax credits for CPP/EI, so when CPP is not deducted (because annual max already reached), you must increase tax withholding accordingly.
CPP that would have been deducted this pay (using CRA rates/YBE):
Pensionable = $1,630 # ($3,500/26 = $134.62) = $1,495.38; CPP (4.95% + 1.00% = 5.95%) = $88.98.
Add back missing credits: Federal 14% × 88.98 = $12.46; Alberta 8% × 88.98 = $7.12 # total $19.58.
Final total tax = $153.90 + $19.58 = $173.48.
NEW QUESTION # 52
An organization pays the premiums for a sickness or accident plan for their president only. This would be considered:
- A. None of the above
- B. A non-cash taxable benefit
- C. A cash taxable benefit
- D. A taxable allowance
Answer: B
Explanation:
Because the plan is for the president only, it is a non-group insurance plan (a plan offered to an individual employee). The CRA states that when an employer pays premiums or makes contributions to a non-group insurance plan, the amounts paid are a taxable benefit. The CRA explicitly includes sickness or accident, disability, and income maintenance plans in this non-group category.
This benefit is generally treated as a non-cash taxable benefit because the employer is paying the premium directly to the insurer (the employee receives the coverage, not cash). CRA guidance distinguishes cash benefits (paid as money, reimbursements, or allowances) from benefits provided in a manner other than cash.
Payroll must therefore include the value of the employer-paid premium in the employee's taxable income and report it on the appropriate slip (commonly T4 code 40 for current employees, as noted in CRA instructions for insurance premiums).
NEW QUESTION # 53
A retiring allowance includes:
- A. Bonus or incentive pay
- B. Vacation pay
- C. Payments in recognition of long service
- D. Accumulated overtime
Answer: C
Explanation:
The CRA defines a retiring allowance (also called severance pay) as an amount paid to an employee when or after they retire or lose their job, in recognition of long service or for the loss of office or employment. This matches option A.
The other options are specifically not retiring allowances under CRA guidance. The CRA states a retiring allowance does not include salary, wages, bonuses, or overtime, which rules out bonus or incentive pay and accumulated overtime. The CRA also states it does not include payments for accumulated vacation leave not taken before retirement, which rules out vacation pay.
This classification matters in payroll because retiring allowances have distinct rules: for example, they are not subject to CPP or EI deductions, and part of a retiring allowance may be eligible for direct transfer to an RRSP
/RPP under special rules (based on pre-1996 service).
NEW QUESTION # 54
How many pay periods will be used to calculate insurable earnings inBlock 15Bon the Record of Employment if the employee is paidweekly?
- A. Last7pay periods (or less if period of employment is shorter)
- B. Last13pay periods (or less if period of employment is shorter)
- C. Last14pay periods (or less if period of employment is shorter)
- D. Last27pay periods (or less if period of employment is shorter)
Answer: D
Explanation:
For apaper ROE, Service Canada's ROE guidance uses a set number ofmost recent consecutive pay periods to support the reporting of insurable earnings. InBlock 15C(insurable earnings by pay period), the paper ROE provides27 fields, which allows reporting up to27 weekly pay periods(or fewer if the employee worked fewer periods).
Block15Bis thetotal insurable earningsfor the applicable number of consecutive pay periods, and for a weekly payroll this aligns with the same maximum count used on the paper ROE earnings grid-27periods.
Practically, this means payroll totals the employee's insurable earnings for thelast 27 consecutive weekly pay periodsleading up to the interruption of earnings (or the full period of employment if shorter). Using the correct number of pay periods ensures Service Canada has the right earnings history to adjudicate EI benefits accurately and reduces ROE processing issues.
NEW QUESTION # 55
The amount of notice the employer must give an employee depends on:
- A. The employee's length of service and the jurisdiction in which they live
- B. The employee's length of service and the jurisdiction in which they work
- C. The industry in which the employer operates
- D. The size of the employer's payroll
Answer: B
Explanation:
Termination notice requirements come from the employment standards legislation that applies to the workplace, which is tied to the jurisdiction where the employee works (province/territory), unless the workplace is federally regulated. The Government of Canada explicitly directs employers and employees to consult the employment standards for the province or territory of work if they are not in a federally regulated industry.
Within a given jurisdiction, the minimum notice (or pay in lieu) is typically based on the employee's length of continuous employment/service. For example, under the Canada Labour Code (federally regulated workplaces), required notice increases with service (and can be replaced with wages in lieu), showing service length is a core driver of notice entitlements.
That's why "where they live" is not the deciding factor for notice rules: the governing employment standards are based on the jurisdiction of employment (where the work is performed / the employment is regulated), and the employee's length of service under that jurisdiction's rules.
NEW QUESTION # 56
Rosa joined Avion Electronics in April 1983. Her employment was terminated on November 30, 2015 and she was paid a $62,500.00 retiring allowance. Rosa joined her company's pension plan in 1986 and was fully vested on termination of employment. Calculate the non-eligible portion of the retiring allowance.
Answer:
Explanation:
$32,000.00 non-eligible portion
Explanation:
CRA requires separating a retiring allowance into an eligible and non-eligible portion. The eligible portion is the maximum that can be transferred to an RRSP/RPP under the special rules (without using regular RRSP room). The formula is: $2,000 for each year (or part-year) of service before 1996, plus an additional $1,500 for each year (or part-year) before 1989 in which the employee had no employer pension/DPSP benefit vested at the time of payment (or previously paid).
Rosa worked from 1983 to 1995 (inclusive) for pre-1996 service: 13 years × $2,000 = $26,000.
For the extra pre-1989 amount: she joined the pension plan in 1986 and was fully vested when paid the retiring allowance in 2015, so 1986-1988 do not qualify for the extra $1,500. However, 1983-1985 were years before 1989 when she had no vested employer pension benefit, so 3 years × $1,500 = $4,500.
Eligible portion = $26,000 + $4,500 = $30,500.
Non-eligible portion = $62,500 # $30,500 = $32,000.
NEW QUESTION # 57
Which of the following is not correct?
- A. Bonus payments reported in Block 17C are also reported in Block 15B
- B. Severance payments and retiring allowances are not reported in Block 15B
- C. Vacation pay reported in Block 17A is reported in Block 15B
- D. Block 15B is not completed when insurable earnings are reported in Block 15C
Answer: D
Explanation:
Option A is not correct. Service Canada's ROE guidance for paper ROEs explains that if you need to complete Block 15C, you do that first, and then you still enter the total insurable earnings in Block 15B. It also reminds employers to include any insurable separation payments entered in Block 17 in both Block 15C (Pay Period 1) and Block 15B totals.
Option C is correct because retiring allowances (often treated as severance-type amounts) are not insurable, so even if they appear in Block 17C, they are not added to Blocks 15B/15C.
Option D is correct because vacation pay paid on separation is reported in Block 17A, and when it is insurable, it must be included in the insurable earnings totals in Block 15B (and Block 15C P.P.1 where applicable).
NEW QUESTION # 58
In Block 12 of the Record of Employment, the final pay period ending date for employees who are paid solely by commission or are paid salary plus irregularly paid commission will be:
- A. The last date of the pay period
- B. The Saturday of the week in which the last day for which paid, reported in Block 11, occurs
- C. The Sunday of the week in which the last day for which paid, reported in Block 11, occurs
- D. The last date for which paid
Answer: B
Explanation:
Service Canada treats commission salespeople (paid solely by commission or salary plus irregularly paid commission) as a special ROE situation where the weekly averaging formula is used. In that scenario, the ROE Guide states that for Block 12 (Final pay period ending date) you must use the Saturday of the week that contains the last day for which paid (Block 11).
This is different from the usual rule for most employees, where Block 12 is simply the end date of the final pay period that includes the Block 11 date (and it can't be earlier than Block 11).
The key reason is consistency in applying the weekly averaging approach: even if the employer's actual payroll cycle is not weekly, commission-only/irregular-commission employees are reported using a weekly framework for ROE purposes. Payroll should therefore align Block 12 to the correct "weekly" period end (Saturday) when that rule applies, to avoid ROE errors and Service Canada follow-up.
NEW QUESTION # 59
Bonus and incentive pays are subject to which statutory deductions?
- A. Canada/Quebec Pension Plan contributions, Employment Insurance and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums, income taxes and Northwest Territories/Nunavut payroll taxes
- B. Canada/Quebec Pension Plan contributions, Employment Insurance premiums and income taxes
- C. Canada/Quebec Pension Plan contributions, Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums, income taxes and Northwest Territories/Nunavut payroll taxes
- D. Employment Insurance and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums and Northwest Territories
/Nunavut payroll taxes
Answer: A
Explanation:
Bonuses and incentives are treated as taxable remuneration, so they are generally subject to the same core statutory deductions as regular earnings: CPP/QPP, EI, and income tax (and in Quebec, QPIP also applies when the remuneration is subject to EI). The CRA specifically notes that you must deduct EI premiums from bonuses/retroactive pay (up to the annual maximum), and the CRA's guidance for bonuses/irregular amounts uses tools (PDOC/formulas) that calculate CPP contributions, EI premiums, and income tax on these payments.
In Quebec payroll, remuneration that is subject to EI premiums is generally also subject to QPIP premiums, so bonuses/incentives that are EI-insurable are typically QPIP-insurable as well.
In the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, there is also a statutory territorial payroll tax that employers must withhold/remit where applicable, and the NWT guidance explicitly lists bonuses as part of employment income subject to payroll tax.
NEW QUESTION # 60
Which statutory deductions is salary continuance subject to?
- A. All deductions
- B. All deductions except Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- C. All deductions except Employment Insurance and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- D. All deductions except Employment Insurance premiums
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 61
Feraz Dalia is due $12,523.00 in legislated wages in lieu of notice that will be added to his last weekly pay of
$1,080.00. Calculate Feraz's Employment Insurance (EI) premium, if his employer is situated in Saskatchewan and the yearly maximum contribution will not be exceeded.
Answer:
Explanation:
$221.73 (employee EI premium)
Explanation:
In Saskatchewan (outside Quebec), EI premiums are deducted at the 2026 employee EI premium rate of $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings (1.63%).
CRA guidance confirms that wages in lieu of termination notice are subject to EI premiums, and to determine statutory deductions you include the wages in lieu with the regular income (if any) for the pay period.
Step 1: Determine total insurable earnings in the final pay (assuming both amounts are insurable and the annual maximum won't be exceeded):
$12,523.00 + $1,080.00 = $13,603.00.
Step 2: Calculate EI premium:
$13,603.00 × 1.63% = $13,603.00 × 0.0163 = $221.7289, which rounds to $221.73.
So, the EI premium to deduct from Feraz's pay for this combined payment is $221.73.
NEW QUESTION # 62
A paper Record of Employment must be issued:
- A. When requested by Service Canada
- B. All of the above
- C. Within five calendar days of an interruption of earnings
- D. When an employer becomes aware of an interruption of earnings exceeding seven calendar days
Answer: B
Explanation:
Service Canada's ROE guidance states that an employer must issue an ROE each time an employee experiences an interruption of earnings and when Service Canada requests one. This makes option A true.
For paper ROEs, the ROE guide is explicit about deadlines: you must issue a paper ROE within 5 calendar days of (1) the first day of an interruption of earnings, or (2) the day the employer becomes aware that an interruption of earnings has occurred. This confirms option B.
An interruption of earnings generally occurs under the 7-day rule-when an employee has had or is anticipated to have 7 consecutive calendar days with no work and no insurable earnings from the employer.
That's why option C is also true: once the employer becomes aware the 7-day threshold is met (or will be met), the ROE requirement is triggered, and the paper ROE must be issued within the time limit above.
NEW QUESTION # 63
A death benefit is a:
- A. Discretionary payment made by an employer on the death of an employee, in recognition of the employee's service
- B. Payment made by an employer of vacation pay owing to an employee on their death
- C. Life insurance payment made by an insurance company on the death of an employee
- D. Payment made by an employer of any outstanding earnings to an employee on their death
Answer: A
Explanation:
The CRA defines a death benefit as the gross amount of any payment made on or after the death of an employee to recognize the employee's service in an office or employment. It can be paid to a surviving spouse
/common-law partner, heir, or the estate.
This is different from amounts the employee already earned before death (for example, regular wages up to the date of death, or vacation pay that was accrued/earned). CRA guidance treats wages and employment income earned up to and including the date of death as amounts to be reported on a T4 slip, not as a death benefit.
It's also different from a life insurance payout from an insurer (which is not an employer-paid "death benefit" for payroll reporting purposes). The payroll impact is that a qualifying death benefit is generally reported as a special payment (often on a T4A), following CRA rules for deductions and reporting of death benefits.
NEW QUESTION # 64
Vacation pay on termination would be recorded in which Block(s) on the Record of Employment?
- A. Blocks 15B, 15C P.P. 1 and 17A
- B. Block 15B only
- C. Block 17A only
- D. It would not be recorded
Answer: A
Explanation:
Service Canada's ROE Guide is clear that vacation pay paid because of separation (termination/layoff) must be reported in Block 17A - Vacation pay.
But it doesn't stop there. Vacation pay is generally insurable earnings, so when you enter insurable earnings in Block 17A, you must also add those amounts into Block 15B (Total insurable earnings) and into Block
15C, Pay Period 1 (P.P. 1) as applicable. The ROE Guide explicitly states: when you enter insurable earnings in Blocks 17A/17B/17C, you must also add them to the totals in Blocks 15B and 15C (P.P. 1 field)-and it gives the example that vacation pay paid on separation must be added to 15B and 15C because it is insurable.
Therefore, vacation pay on termination is recorded in Blocks 15B, 15C P.P. 1, and 17A (option C).
NEW QUESTION # 65
Which of the following company-compulsory deductions would reduce the employee's gross taxable income for purposes of withholding income taxes?
- A. Employee payment of a portion of group benefit plan premiums
- B. Employee payment of provincial health care plan premiums
- C. All of the above
- D. Employee contributions to a group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)
Answer: D
Explanation:
For payroll withholding, income tax is calculated on taxable income for the pay period, so only deductions that are income-tax deductible (or otherwise reduce taxable income at source) will reduce the employee's taxable base for withholding. Employee contributions to an RRSP are generally deductible for the employee, which is why payroll-deducted RRSP contributions (such as contributions to a group RRSP taken off the paycheque) reduce the amount of income tax withheld when the payroll system is set up to treat them as deductible contributions. The CRA confirms that deductible RRSP contributions can be used to reduce your tax.
By contrast, paying provincial health care premiums (where applicable) and paying an employee share of group benefit plan premiums are not automatic "reduce taxable income at source" deductions in the same way for payroll withholding; they may be personal expenses and, depending on the plan/premium type, may only affect the employee's personal tax situation through credits/deductions when filing, not the standard payroll withholding base. Therefore, the only correct choice is A.
NEW QUESTION # 66
Which of the following types of payments made by a private organization would not be subject to all statutory deductions?
- A. Vacation pay when no time was taken
- B. Directors' fees
- C. Performance bonus
- D. Retroactive adjustment
Answer: B
Explanation:
The payment type most clearly not subject to all statutory deductions is directors' fees. CRA guidance on directors' fees shows they are treated as a special payment with distinct deduction rules, and (depending on the situation) they may not have CPP, EI, and income tax all apply in the same way as normal employment earnings.
By contrast, retroactive adjustments and performance bonuses are treated as taxable remuneration where CRA' s tools (like PDOC) calculate CPP contributions, EI premiums, and income tax on those payments (up to annual maximums).
"Vacation pay when no time was taken" is also treated as a non-periodic payment and is included in CRA payroll deduction formulas as a type of amount on which statutory deductions are calculated (again, subject to annual maximums for CPP/EI).
So, among the options listed, directors' fees are the one that would not necessarily be subject to all statutory deductions in the standard way.
NEW QUESTION # 67
Which of the following deductions would be the last payroll withholding in order of priority?
- A. Voluntary insurance coverage
- B. Requirement to Pay
- C. The organization's pension plan
- D. Third Party Demand
Answer: A
Explanation:
In payroll, deductions are applied in a priority order so employers satisfy mandatory legal obligations first.
CRA collection tools such as a Requirement to Pay (RTP) and a Demand on a Third Party (DTP) are legal
/garnishment-type deductions. CRA explains that a Requirement to Pay directs a third party (often the employer) to send amounts otherwise payable to the employee to the CRA, and the employer must comply.
Company pension contributions (where participation is required as a condition of employment or under a plan
/collective agreement) are generally company-compulsory deductions-important, but they come after statutory and legal deductions. Voluntary insurance coverage is a classic voluntary deduction (the employee chooses it; it is not legally required). Voluntary deductions are normally taken last because they must not interfere with statutory/legal withholding obligations.
So among the options, voluntary insurance coverage is the one that would be withheld last in the order of priority.
