If you have approved a payroll, you cannot change your payroll frequency in your Wave account. There are two main reasons for this:

  • Every time you change your payroll frequency, the CRA requires an ROE to be issued for each active employee.
  • There are tax implications for your business, employees, and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions based on payroll frequency.

To update your payroll frequency, you must first issue ROEs. To do this:

  1. Place employees on leave
  2. Issue an ROE for each employee. If Wave is issuing ROEs on your behalf, select the reason K12 Other / Change of payroll frequency.
