Payroll Information for 2024

As we begin a new year in 2024, a new cycle also begins for your statutory pay deductions.  Here are some of the important changes you should expect to see on your mid-January pay.

Statutory Deductions

Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) are income security programs sponsored by the government.  All workers and employers must make mandatory contributions to these programs at specified rates up to a yearly maximum amount determined by the Government.  For 2024, the CPP yearly maximum is $3,867.50 and EI yearly maximum is $1,049.12.  Contributions discontinue once the maximum has been collected (usually in the fall). This means that employees see an increase in their take-home pay near the end of each year.  However, at the start of each new year, these contributions restart and are deducted from your pay. As a result, you should expect to see the contributions begin again on your mid-January pay.

TD1

If you claimed more than the Basic Personal Amount for 2023, you should complete a new TD1 for 2024.  For instance, if you claimed credits for a dependent or tuition you should complete a new 2024 TD1 form.  TD1 forms can be found on our website:

Pay Dates

At Carleton, salaries are paid twice monthly; please see the actual pay dates on the HR website under Payroll.
