Submit payroll for processing

When you submit your payroll for processing, you are actually giving Ceridian your final approval to go ahead and pay your employees using the data you entered in Powerpay. This process also triggers the official generation of any requested Records of Employment (ROE). A copy of each completed ROE is sent to service Canada on your behalf.

When you submit your payroll, you signal to Ceridian that you have checked your payroll data and it is ready to be used to create accurate payments, reports and ROEs (if requested). If you do not submit your payroll for processing every pay period, none of your employees will be paid. If you submit early, employees will still be paid on the payment date indicated in your contract.

If you use direct deposits, to ensure that employee direct deposits are made on the payment date, submit payrolls three days before the payment date.

1. Navigate to the Submit Payroll page. From the Process menu, select Submit Payroll.

2. Click the Submit Payroll Data button. After your payroll has been submitted for processing, Powerpay displays a message that confirms that your payroll has been sent for processing. You will not be able to enter further payroll data for this pay period.

   Note: If there is an error when transmitting the payroll data, Powerpay displays an error message and provides instructions on how to correct the error.
