Payroll

Payroll Year-End, in plain English.

Payroll year-end is the annual close where an employer reconciles the year's pay runs, verifies employee data, and produces statutory reporting: T4s and T4 Summary in Canada, W-2s in the United States, and the country equivalents elsewhere. Deadlines fall in the weeks after December 31. Workzoom generates year-end data from the payroll history on each employee record, and your team submits the filings.

How Payroll Year-End works.

Year-end is a reconciliation, not a calculation. Every figure already exists in the pay runs, so the work is confirming that the payroll record, the remittance record, and the employee data agree. Taxable benefits are the usual reason they do not, since benefits recorded outside payroll never entered the taxable base. Address and identification data matters as much as the money, because a form issued to a stale address or a wrong identifier fails at the employee rather than at the agency.

Where Payroll Year-End goes wrong.

  1. Treating year-end as a January project is the structural mistake.
  2. Taxable benefits, manual cheques, and unrecorded adjustments accumulate all year and are cheapest to fix in the period they occur.
  3. The second trap is reconciling only to the general ledger, which confirms the money moved without confirming it was attributed to the right employee.

Questions about Payroll Year-End

Reconciling the year's pay runs against remittances, verifying employee data such as addresses and identifiers, confirming taxable benefits were captured in payroll, and producing the statutory year-end forms for each country.
Because they are often recorded outside payroll, in a benefits or expense system, and never enter the taxable earnings base. The gap appears at year-end when the form totals do not match what the employee received.
No. Workzoom generates the year-end data from your payroll history so the figures come directly off the employee record. Your team submits the filings. Workzoom does not file with any government agency on your behalf.
