!!!CANADIAN T4 PROCESS 2013

This process allows you to report to the Canadian government from the employees' YTD information according to the government specified requirement and to generate magnetic media files for this reporting.

!!2013-2014 Year End Changes

!T4 Form
[Employer's Guide - Filing T4 Slip and Summary 2013 (RC4120)|http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/rc4120/rc4120-13e.pdf website.]

For 2013-2014 reporting, the T4(13) form layout is used.  The positioning of each box has not been changed from last year's T4(12) form layout.

A new income code has been created for the 'Other information' area of the T4 slip.  
    - CODE 88 - Indian (exempt income) - Self-employment
    
%%warning For Oracle reports, you must run all Government Form Print programs (i.e. RPT4, RPT4A, RPT4ANR, RPNR4, RPRL1, RPRL2) and send the report to PDF file instead of to the Previewer.  All Form Print programs are aligned with the government forms in PDF format and allow you to adjust the parameters for 'Top Margin' and the 'Between Form Space' when generating the PDF file.  Once the PDF file is generated, you do not need to adjust the page setup when printing.%%

!T4 Government XML File

*The 2013 T4 Government XML File layout has no change for this reporting year except some clarification of existing descriptions.

!RPT4 - Selection Criteria

For Oracle reports, you must run all Government Form Print programs (i.e. RPT4, RPT4A, RPT4ANR, RPNR4, RPRL1, RPRL2) and send the report to PDF file instead of to the Previewer.  All Form Print programs are aligned with the government forms in PDF format with user ability to adjust the parameters for Top Margin and the 'Between Form Space' when generating the PDF file.  Once after the PDF file is generated, the users do not need to adjust the Page Set up when printing.

!!Processing

!RPT4 Form Print Processing

The 'Print Format' of RPT4 Program is based on Government published T4 (13) Form.  If you are using other Version of the T4 form, e.g T4 (12) version, please test the RPT4 Form layout prior to printing.  

Please be advised that RPT4 would support the latest version of the Government Published Form at time of programming and show the Version of Form being used in the cover page of the report, e.g. T4(13).  We suggest the user should use the same Form Version as the RPT4 program.  However, if the user receives a different Version of the Form from the government, and RPT4 program does not align properly with the Form, then there are two options for this situation:

# The user can re-order the Form from the government that is the same as RPT4 program (if the user is using a prior year version of T4)
# inform your [{$applicationname}] vendor of the Form variation, and they will assess the difference, RPT4 program may be revised

RPT4 Form Print program prints all information generated by RPGRC _HL.xml file according to selection criteria

If an employee has many Footnotes to be reported, multiple T4 forms will be printed, each T4 Form prints 6 Footnote codes until all Footnotes are printed

RPT4 program generates Summary Totals by each Business Number, at the end of the RPT4 run, a grand total is generated for all Business Numbers of the run

You must run RMEX with the RPT4 mex id to obtain the Summary and Grand totals to balance to the RPGRC Summary report

RPT4 Summary and Grand Totals are accumulated for Boxes shown on the T4 Form, the footnotes are not totaled

You should verify RPT4 Boxes to balance to RPGRC

If RPT4 cannot select any information from the xml file to print, the user must run RMEX with the RPT4 mex id to review any error or exception messages to locate the problem, usually the problem is because of an invalid Directory or File name

!Laser Form - Employer and Employee Copy

When printing T4 Laser forms, the users are required to print T4 for Employer Copy and Employee Copy

When RPT4 is run, a parameter 'Print T4 Forms' is to indicate if the 'Employer' or 'Employee' Copy is printed

The user needs to run RPT4 twice, once to print the Employer Copy and then once to print the Employee Copy
|Employer Copy T4 forms|On one sheet, the T4 information is printed for two different employees\\  \\Box 54 Business Number is printed\\  \\the Employer Copy are to be sent to the government or to be kept by the Company
|Employee Copy T4 forms|On one sheet, two T4 copies are printed for one employee\\  \\Box 54 Business Number is NOT printed\\  \\the Employee Copy are to be distributed to the Employees
\\   \\
e.g.  For Employees:  John MacDonald, Mary Smith
|Employer Copy|One one sheet, print John MacDonald, then Mary Smith\\  \\Box 54 Business Number is printed on each form
|Employee Copy|On first sheet, print John MacDonald, then John MacDonald again\\  \\On second sheet, print Mary Smith, then Mary Smith again\\  \\Box 54 Business Number is NOT printed

!Duplicate or Amended Copies

If the employee lost the T4 form, you need to reissue the T4 Form to the employee, this is the 'Duplicate Copy' of the original T4 form

If the user discovers erroneous box information on T4 form and need to adjust the Box information, the user may need to modify the IDFDV set up and then re-run RPYEC, RPGRC, RPT4, this is the 'Amended' T4 form

There are two ways to print'Duplicate Copy' or 'Amended' T4 forms:

#You request on IPGH screen for the employee, then run RPYEC, RPGRC to generate the _HL.xml file that contains the Duplicate/Amended records
#*when user is running RPT4 with the new _HL.xml file, RPT4 will automatically print the word 'DUPLICATE COPY' or 'AMENDED' on T4 form depending on the GVT Run option of RPGRC run
#*at the end of RPT4 run, in non-trial mode, the GVT Header stage will be updated with 'Duplicate' or 'Amended' stage
#When RPT4 is run, the user can enter the word 'DUPLICATE COPY' or 'AMENDED' on the prompt
#*This method should be used when user has many forms to be printed with 'DUPLICATE COPY' or 'AMENDED' and there is not enough time to re-generate the _HL.xml file from RPYEC, RPGRC, and the original _HL.xml file still exists
#*When RPT4 is run, the manually specified word 'DUPLICATE COPY' or 'AMENDED' will be printed on T4 form
#*At the end of RPT4 run, in non-trial mode, the GVT Header comment field will be updated with the user specified wording, i.e. 'Duplicate Copy' or 'Amended' 
#*If other wording is needed to print on T4 form, the user may enter the text on this prompt for RPT4.  e.g. â'CANCEL COPY', 'ORIGINAL COPY'

!RPT4 VOID Form
When RPT4 is run, the user may specify the Number of T4 slips per Summary for T4 Segment, e.g. 200

After 200 T4 slips are printed, RPT4 will generate an intermediate Summary total for RMEX report

You will then use the Summary Total along with the 200 T4 slips and bundle together to send to the government

However, if the employee requires more than one T4 form and this employee's T4 information splits between 2 Summaries, then this employee's T4 information will be printed in the first Summary so that there may be more than 200 T4 slips on this Summary

When the last T4 Form is printed for the first Summary, if the T4 information only requires to print in the TOP T4 slip, then the BOTTOM T4 slip will be VOIDED so that the user can separate the T4 slips by Summary

When RPT4 is run, if there is more than one Government Registration Numbers from IDGR, the T4 Forms are sorted by Government Registration Numbers

On a change of Government Registration Number, RPT4 generates a Government Registration total for RMEX report

When the last T4 Form is printed for the first Government Registration Number, if the T4 information only requires to print in the TOP T4 slip, then the BOTTOM T4 slip will be VOIDED so that the user can separate the T4 slips by Government Registration Number

!T4 Slip Print Characteristics

T4 slips are printed in alphabetical order by employee's SURNAME, FIRST NAME within a government registration number

If employees are paid by multiple government registrations, then multiple T4 slips are produced by government registration number for these employees

The font size for printing T4 slips is the standard 12 character per inch font, character mode

Negative (credit) amounts are never allowed for T4 reporting and therefore if negative amounts are encountered, an exception message is displayed, the user must resolve the negative amount and re-run

If there is no amount to be printed for a Box on the T4 form, the Box is left as BLANK, zero or 'NIL' is NOT allowed

You may sort inactive and active employees so that inactive employees are printed separately for mailing purpose

If the Employment Status is A (Active) then the Employee is considered Active, otherwise the employee is considered Inactive.

The T4 slip has "Other Information" area to report up to 6 footnote codes and amounts for each form

If there are more than 6 codes to be reported in the "Other Information" area, then the 2nd or 3rd T4 slips are produced

The 2nd or 3rd T4 slip prints the employee's demographic information only, the numeric boxes are not printed 

If an employee works in more than one province, then one T4 slip is produced for each province for this employee, the "Other Information" area are produced by Province

The T4 Magnetic Media File is in xml file format and allows all footnote codes to be reported for one employee, multiple XML records are generated for one employee if there are more than 6 footnote codes 

Alphanumeric fields are left-justified with no space between each character, e.g. 'JOHN DOE', not 'J O H N   D O E'

The numeric fields are lined up with the decimal

RPT4 grand totals are generated for all T4 forms as Execution Run Log Exception messages to balance to RPGRC summary report

The user MUST run RMEX report for the MEX ID from the RPT4 run to print the T4 grand Totals to verify all records are printed

!T4 Slip Print Distribution

On T4 Form, the last line in the Address Box is used to print the user specified distribution information for user to hand out the T4 forms to the employees.  The user must set up the following identifiers:
||Field Identifier||Field Variable||Suggested Field Variable
|T4-EE-DISTR|(constant)	blank or 1|
|T4-EE-DESTIN|(constant) blank or 1|
|T4-EE-DISTR1|  |DED.ENTITY_CODE
|T4-EE-DISTR2|  |EID.PERSON_CODE

If 'T4-EE-DISTR' value = '1' (i.e. not null), then the distribution will be printed below the employee address for distribution purpose and the distribution is visible outside the window envelope, otherwise, the distribution will not be printed

Therefore on T4 form, the logic for printing distribution is:
*if 'T4-EE-DISTR' = '1', then the distribution information is printed from:
**optional employee's pay destination T4-EE-DESTIN if specified (i.e. Department or Pay destination of the employee)
**concatenates with the values from 'T4-EE-DISTR1' and 'T4-EE-DISTR2'
