Wagepoint is a payroll platform built specifically for Canadian small businesses, providing full-service payroll that handles the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) remittances, ROEs (Records of Employment), T4s, and provincial tax obligations that make Canadian payroll significantly more complex than US payroll for the uninitiated. The platform processes direct deposit through EFT, manages CPP, EI, and income tax deductions automatically, and remits all government amounts on schedule without requiring employer intervention. Record of Employment generation for employees who stop working — whether for layoffs, maternity leaves, or terminations — is automated and submitted electronically to Service Canada. Year-end T4 preparation and filing is handled through the platform. The payroll run interface is clean and fast, reflecting Wagepoint's commitment to simplicity over feature sprawl. QuickBooks Online, Xero, and FreshBooks integrations sync payroll journal entries to accounting software. HR features include basic employee records and document storage. Wagepoint serves thousands of Canadian businesses and is highly regarded in the Canadian accounting community for reliability and responsive customer support. For Canadian businesses using US-centric payroll software that handles Canadian compliance as an afterthought, or for new businesses navigating Canadian payroll for the first time, Wagepoint's specialized focus and transparent pricing provide a refreshingly straightforward solution.
