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 CCQ employee wages
– without excess remuneration.
At year-end, if any wages are adjusted, you must also adjust the related Quebec Labour
Standards balances.
In this case, the CCQ Employee Wages is adjusted by $10,000. Other QLS balances are
adjusted as required. In this example, the annual maximum limit is $78,500. No
adjustments are required to Gross Earnings.
