Set up CSST

Employers paying employees working in the province of Quebec must pay CSST insurance premiums to Revenu Quebec based on their remittance frequency. These payments are to be reconciled annually by employers against the actual insurable wages paid to employees.

If you are an employer paying Quebec employees, you must file CSST payments with your Revenu Quebec source deductions and employer contributions (weekly, twice monthly, monthly or quarterly as per your existing remitting schedule). Even if you are not subject to source deductions or employer contributions, you may still need to direct CSST payments to Revenu Quebec.

Dayforce can remit your CSST premium payments on the same remittance frequency in place today for your source deductions and employer contributions to Revenu Quebec.

As a reminder, it remains the employer’s responsibility to balance and submit an annual Statement of Wages to the CNESST.
