Payroll Information for 2021

T4 and T4A

Electronic T4’s are due by February 28th.  An announcement will be put in the Top 5 when they are available.

Carleton uses an electronic T4 process.  To view your T4 or T4A, visit http://central.carleton.ca/ or click on the Carleton Central icon on the Carleton homepage. Once logged in, select the ‘Employee Services’ tab and ‘Tax Forms’.

As the New Year begins, a new cycle also begins for your statutory pay deductions. Here are some of the 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 2021, the CPP yearly maximum is $3,166.45 and the EI yearly maximum is $889.54.  Last year you may have reached the yearly maximum for these mandatory benefits so expect to see these contributions begin again on your mid-January pay.

Pay Dates

At Carleton, salaries are paid twice monthly; please see the actual pay dates on the HR web site under the calendar of events.

Your Electronic Direct Deposit Advice Notice (Pay Stub) is available on Carleton Central the day before the actual pay day.  Access is easy.  From any computer with an Internet connection, visit http://central.carleton.ca/ or click on the Carleton Central icon on the Carleton homepage. Once logged in, select the ‘Employee Services’ tab, ‘Pay Information’, and ‘Direct Deposit Advice’.

TD1

If your personal tax credits have changed you should complete a new TD1. For instance, if you were claiming credits over and above the basic personal exemption for the 2020 tax year, you should complete a new 2021 TD1 form.  TD1 forms can be found on our website: https://carleton.ca/hr/payroll/forms/
