What does clean payroll actually look like?

With payroll compliance in Canada for employers, clean payroll means everything ties out without adjustments. Payroll reports match remittances, T4s align with financial statements, and CPP and EI are consistent with reported wages.

Where it starts to drift is when bonuses, allowances, or benefits are handled differently from one period to the next. Keeping those treatments consistent is what keeps payroll clean and predictable.
