Printing Releve 1 - Preparation

Where In Payroll Do I Print From?

You can print Releve 1s from any level of (Canada) Payroll that you can see employees on.

If you activate Canada Payroll you have access to all Canada employees and can print any or all Releve 1s from there.

If you activate a sub-payroll you can print Releve 1s for employees of that sub-payroll.

Setting the Releve 1 Year

On whatever payroll you decide to print from you must set the T4/Releve 1 Reporting Year to the year you wish to print Releve 1s for.
To do this:

Select "Advanced - Payroll Settings" using the window tabs.
Set the T4/Releve 1 Reporting Year to the correct year.

Setting the T4/Releve 1 Reporting Year.

The Releve 1 List Window

Releve 1 information can be viewed and/or printed from the Releve 1 List window. To view this window, click the window list button at the top-left corner of the right-hand pane and select Releve 1 List.

The images below show the Releve 1 List window. The window contains a column for most of the boxes on the Releve 1 slip, and you can see the amounts that will be printed.

Because there are so many columns it is best to set title columns to "lock" a few of the left-most columns so that you can scroll out to the right without losing track of which employee line you are on.
To do this:

Select (click on) the rightmost column you wish to set as a title column. (In the example windows shown, the Id column was chosen.)
Issue the Window>Title Columns>Set.

Releve 1 Summary Information

The totals at the bottom of the table provide most of the information required to complete the Releve 1 Summary.

Editing Releve 1 Information - What You Can't Do

Earnings & Deduction Amounts

Most of the information in this window is obtained by adding up amounts on employee paychecks for the year displayed. You are not allowed to edit these amounts. The simple reason is this: If you were allowed to edit the information here, then the Releve 1 slips you print would not match the data in your books and the integrity of your payroll system would be called into question.

If there are amounts on this window that seem incorrect then there must be one or more errors in the employees� paychecks. These errors must be addressed at their source to correct the information on this window.

Another alternative (which we do not recommend) is to choose the "display" option when printing Releve 1s, edit the results in Excel, and then print the Releve 1(s) from Excel. Again, this will mean that your printed Releve 1s do not match the data in your books - we can't stop you from doing this, but you are "on your own" if questions arise after the fact.

The "Print Releve 1" Column

This column is set by the system to either "yes" or "no" and cannot be edited.

It is set to "yes" if there is information to be reported on a Releve 1 for that employee for the given Releve 1 year. It is set to "no" if there is nothing to report on a Releve 1 for the given year.

(The yes or no value is not related in any way to the employee's active status.)

The total at the bottom of the list reports the number of "yes" lines above.

Editing Releve 1 Information - What You Can Do

A few of the columns can be edited. They are:

Employee first, middle, and last names
S.I.N. (Social Insurance Number)
