Payroll Services

Accurate. On time. Every pay period.

Payroll sounds simple until it isn't. One miscalculated deduction, one missed remittance deadline, one incorrect ROE — and you're dealing with employee frustration, CRA penalties, or both.

WelcomeWorks takes payroll off your plate entirely. We process your payroll accurately, remit on time, maintain proper records, and handle year-end reporting — so you can focus on your business.

Off your plate

Deductions, remittances, and filings — handled

From CPP, EI, and income tax to ROEs and year-end T4s, we track every deadline and keep your records clean and audit-ready — so a missed remittance never turns into a CRA penalty.

Risk management

Why professional payroll is risk management

Getting any of these wrong — even unintentionally — can result in CRA penalties, Ministry of Labour orders, and employee complaints.

Ontario's Employment Standards Act governs pay frequency, vacation pay, overtime, public holidays, and termination entitlements. The Income Tax Act and Employment Insurance Act add federal obligations on top.

Professional payroll administration is not a luxury for businesses with employees. It's protection.

Common questions

Payroll, answered

How do you receive payroll information from us each period?

We set up a simple, secure process during onboarding — typically a brief hours submission by email or an agreed format. We keep it as simple as possible for your team.

What payroll software do you use?

We discuss platform options during the consultation and recommend based on your size and needs. We're not tied to one platform.

Can you handle hourly and salaried staff in the same payroll?

Yes. We process mixed workforces and can handle commission calculations as well.

Do you file T4s directly with CRA?

Yes. Year-end T4 preparation and CRA filing is included in our payroll service.

What if our business grows and we add more employees?

Our service scales with you. As your team grows, we adjust our process — no need to switch providers.
