NEW BRUNSWICK RULES

New Brunswick payroll rules to get right

For employers across New Brunswick, including Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Dieppe and Miramichi.

The province’s paid public holidays and vacation guide covers eligibility, holiday pay and work performed on a holiday, plus alternative arrangements and special circumstances. Do not import another province’s holiday list or formula without checking the New Brunswick rules.

For each holiday, record the scheduled work, the actual work and what you need to judge eligibility. A store being closed does not, on its own, settle the payroll outcome for every employee. With managers in several towns, use one payroll calendar with period end, timesheet cutoff, review date and payday, and put a name beside each deadline.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Example: a shop stays open on a public holiday

Imagine a Saint John retailer that schedules some employees on a holiday and gives others the day off. Before payroll, the manager sends the actual hours and any changes to the original schedule. The preparer checks eligibility and the applicable rules person by person instead of giving the whole team one earnings line.

The reviewer should be able to answer three questions: which holiday, what work happened, and why that amount was entered. This is a fictional scenario showing what a review needs, not a universal holiday-pay formula.

QUESTIONS

New Brunswick payroll FAQ

Can one holiday template cover all Atlantic provinces?

Do not assume so. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador each have their own employment standards. Check each employee’s applicable rules and keep the relevant holiday records.

What if I also have staff in another province?

Keep the employee-level setup rather than applying head-office settings to everyone. The CRA payroll guidance and the applicable provincial guidance confirm the treatment for each person.

What does PayHr cost for a New Brunswick business?

There is no monthly fee. Manual payroll is free and includes unlimited employees, contractors and pay runs; you arrange the payments and remittances yourself. Automated payments cost $6 per person per automated pay run. For example, eight employees on one automated run come to $48, and a manual run costs $0. Optional ROE filing is $5 per document and T4 or T4A filing is $15 per document. Prices are in CAD, and wages, taxes and remittances are separate.

Does PayHr support Quebec?

No. PayHr supports payroll in every Canadian province except Quebec, so this page is for New Brunswick employers and for businesses whose employees work in the other supported provinces.

Can I switch to PayHr in the middle of the year?

Yes. Move the employee details and opening balances from your current reports, and run a historical pay period through PayHr to compare with them. Include a holiday with changed hours in that check.
