In addition to the impact to your employees, a payroll breakdown also puts your organization at risk. At risk of fines from the government. Reputational risk if the public becomes aware of the breakdown. Operational risk if employees refuse to work or are less motivated. Even your business continuity may be put at risk.
Protecting your business and employees from these perils starts with information and education. In Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and beyond, the Canadian Payroll Association can provide best-in-class training to payroll teams and payroll departments - large and small - on a host of topics. From basic legislative requirements or year-end processing, through taxable benefits, employment standards and even group benefits, our team of dedicated payroll educators are available to help.
Whether you are located in a big city like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, or a smaller centre like Lethbridge, Brandon or St. John, we have the payroll people and payroll information your staff need. Starting from $5,000, we are happy to develop a payroll specific training program to suit your business.
For any organizations with payroll staff in Quebec, now may be the perfect time to invest in their professional development. Not only is the payroll function more integral than ever, as we all navigate the unprecedented challenges of today, but the Quebec Government is lending a helping hand with the introduction of the Programme actions concertées pour le maintien en emploi (PACME).
The objective of the PACME is to help companies develop the skills of employees who have to stay at home. Under this program, companies can be reimbursed for 100 per cent of eligible expenses —up to a $100,000 maximum. Click here to learn more about program eligibility.
We'd love to discuss your corporate payroll training needs and how we can help.
