Canadian employers must issue an ROE (Record of Employment) to remain compliant with Service Canada. To issue an ROE, read Issue or amend an ROE (Record of employment).
Canadian employers may have the ability to run a one-off payroll if the recommended final pay date for an employee falls before the next regularly scheduled payday. If this option is available, a button that says Pay them separately will appear next to the employee’s name on the Payroll > Run Payroll page. Click this button to run the final payroll without including other employees.
