This example creates a batch header and group record, with various lines and values
to adjust some Quebec Labour Standards balances for one employee – exempt wages – with
excess remuneration.
At year-end, if any wages are adjusted, you must also adjust the related Quebec Labour
Standards balances.
In this case, the several balances are adjusted that reduce subject, and affect QLS
gross. Other QLS balances are adjusted as required. In this example, the annual maximum
limit is $78,500. No adjustments are required to Gross Earnings.
