A Record of Employment (ROE) is a form that employers complete for employees who stop working and experience an interruption of earnings. This form allows employees to apply for Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.
Wave can submit ROEs to the CRA on your behalf. To give Wave this access, you must acknowledge and sign the ROE SAT Addendum Form in your Wave account.
Step 1: Review your business profile
Before you authorize Wave to submit ROEs, review your Business Profile. Click your business name at the top right corner of your Wave account. Next, click Business settings, then click Business Profile.
Wave uses the following information is used to set up ROE submission:
- CRA Payroll Account Number
- Business legal name
- Postal code
Step 2: Authorize Wave to submit ROEs
To authorize Wave to submit ROEs for you:
-
On the left-side menu, click Payroll > Run Payroll.
If you’ve already set up payroll in Wave, click the Payroll Setup button on the Run Payroll page to find the ROE application page.
- In the Simplify your payroll section, to the right of ROE, click Authorize.
- Follow the on-screen steps and add your digital signature.
- Click Save.
After you complete these steps, you can issue ROEs when you offboard employees or place them on leave. To learn how to do this, see [Canada] Offboard employees or place them on leave.
Wave cannot submit ROEs on behalf of your business for the time before you started using Wave’s payroll feature. Ask your previous payroll service provider to issue the ROEs for you.
