Payroll looks like one task and turns out to be forty quiet ones. Paycrest does the arithmetic, the filings, and the awkward edge cases, so the run is boring on purpose.
Hours, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements land in a single review screen with last run beside this one, so you see exactly what moved. Fix a number inline, approve, done. No exported spreadsheet, no re-keying, no second system to reconcile against.
Source deductions, T4s, ROEs, W-2s, and remittances are calculated and filed with the CRA and IRS automatically, on the agency's calendar, with the confirmation numbers logged back to the run.
Salaried, hourly, and 1099 contractors run together, each with the right deductions, overtime rules, and year-end slip.
Funds clear into accounts on payday with settlement timing shown up front, so you can plan the float.
Court orders and support deductions are calculated, capped to the legal limit, and remitted to the correct agency.
What changes once the run stops fighting back
The same Friday afternoon, decomposed. Every step that used to be a tab, a formula, or a phone call is now a line in the log.
Approved timesheets, salaries, and PTO flow straight into the run. No CSV, no copy-paste, no "which version is current."
CPP, EI, federal and provincial tax, FICA, and state withholding computed per worker, per jurisdiction, every cycle.
Garnishments and benefit deductions applied, capped to the legal maximum, and routed to the right agency automatically.
You review what changed since last run and sign once. Nothing settles until you do, and there's an audit trail when you have.
Direct deposits queue with clear settlement timing, so the float is never a surprise to you or your team.
Remittances and year-to-date totals update the moment the run closes, so T4s and W-2s are ready long before the deadline.
We bring over your history, your people, and your tax setup so the first run on Paycrest matches the last run anywhere else, line for line, only faster to close.
A payroll specialist imports your prior runs, year-to-date totals, and employee records, then reconciles them against your old reports line by line before go-live.
Mid-year is safe. Year-to-date amounts carry over cleanly, so T4s and W-2s stay accurate even if you move in Q3.
Employees get a portal for pay stubs, tax forms, and banking changes, which quietly ends the questions that used to land on your desk.
Every run posts to QuickBooks and Xero with journal entries mapped, so the month-end close is a review, not a rebuild.
“We have warehouse crews on hourly and a head office on salary. Paycrest is the first system that ran both without me building a workaround in a spreadsheet. Approval went from blocking a half-day to a single afternoon click.”
“Year-end used to be two weeks of T4s and amendments and apologizing to people. Last December I reviewed the slips, hit file, and the CRA confirmations came back the same day. I kept refreshing because I didn't believe it.”
“We switched in the middle of Q3 and I was sure the year-to-date totals would break. Their team reconciled every employee against our old reports before go-live. Not one paycheque came out wrong.”
Tax filings, year-end forms, and support are in the price, not add-ons that surface at renewal. Add or drop people any month.
For small teams running their first real payroll.
For mixed teams with real edge cases.
For multi-entity employers across provinces and states.
Most teams are live within a week. A migration specialist imports your history and year-to-date totals, reconciles them against your old reports, and runs a parallel cycle so the first real run has nothing to slip.
Yes, from one account. Paycrest calculates and files CRA source deductions, T4s, and ROEs in Canada, and federal, state, and local taxes with W-2s in the US.
Yes. Salaried staff, hourly workers, and 1099 contractors go through one pay run, each with the correct deductions and the right year-end slip generated automatically.
It runs itself off the data you already approved. T4s and W-2s are generated, sent to employees, and filed with the agencies on their deadlines. If an amendment is ever needed, it's a few clicks, not a re-file from scratch.
Paycrest is SOC 2 Type II certified, with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, and an audit log on every change to a pay run. Sensitive fields like SINs and SSNs are masked by default.
