Example of Quebec Pension Plan Below the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE)

In this example, you create balance initialization records to initialize a Quebec employee’s QPP balances where the wages are below the 2024 YMPE ($68,500.00).

Note that in this example there's no need to initialize any of the QPP2 balances because the balances are below the YMPE.

Note: These are only examples, and you may require other balances to be initialized depending on your unique requirements.
