Example of Loading Quebec Labour Standards Balances: Remuneration Subject to Contribution below the Maximum Limit – With Exempt Wages
In this example, you create balance initialization records to initialize an employee’s QLS balances where the wages are below the 2020 annual maximum limit of $78,500 and exempt wages do exist.
Note: These are only examples and you may require other balances to be initialized depending
on your unique requirements. You may need to initialize other balances separately that
are part of QLS gross or QLS exempt earnings.
| Balance Name | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Earnings | 6,000 | N/A |
| Quebec Labour Standards Gross | 6,000 | N/A |
| Other Labour Standards Exempt Remuneration | 3,000 | N/A |
| Quebec Labour Standards Subject | 3,000 | There are Quebec Labour Standard Exempt Wages, so Subject = Gross – Exempt Wages |
| Quebec Labour Standards Exempt | 3,000 | Gross – Subject |
| Quebec Labour Standards Taxable | 3,000 | Subject amount of 3,000 is Taxable since it is under the annual limit |
| Quebec Labour Standards Liability | 2.10 | Calculated value of Taxable * rate. For example, using the values for 2020: 3,000 * 0.0007 = 2.10 |
