About

Remit & Roster is an independent information site for Canadian employers who are choosing, costing or switching payroll and HR software. It is written for owners, office managers, bookkeepers and HR generalists at small and mid-sized organisations who need to understand what payroll software must do under Canadian rules and what it will really cost.

We compare types of software and pricing models, not named products. We do not publish rankings, scores, reviews or testimonials, and we do not accept payment to feature a vendor. Where a price appears, it is an illustrative range for the arithmetic, not a quote. Employer profiles in worked examples are invented composites.

The guides explain 2026 source deductions, remittances, T4 and ROE obligations, vacation pay, record retention, privacy and sales tax, with links to the Canada Revenue Agency, Service Canada, the Justice Laws website, Revenu Québec and provincial employment standards offices. Rules and rates change, sometimes mid-year, so always confirm a figure at the official source before you rely on it.

This site is general information, not tax, legal or accounting advice. For complex situations, such as several provinces, a collective agreement, federally regulated work or a large back-pay correction, consult an accountant, payroll professional or employment lawyer.
