Which provinces does PayHr support?

PayHr supports payroll in every Canadian province except Quebec. Bring payroll, employee records and timesheets together for your Canadian business.

Supported provinces: Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan. Quebec payroll is not supported.

Is payroll really free?

Yes. The Free Plan includes unlimited employees, contractors, manual T4/T4A, manual ROE and manual pay runs. There is no trial deadline. A payment method is saved during workspace setup for optional usage; payroll remains free. Optional automated services are charged separately.

Does approval automatically pay my team?

Payroll approval records your run. It does not by itself transfer wages or remit taxes. Review your payment and remittance workflow separately.

Can I bring my existing payroll records?

You can enter employee details and opening balances in your workspace. Check your year-to-date figures before your first run. See the payroll guide for the setup checklist.
