RELEVE 2 PROCESS#

High Line has defined processes to complete Canadian government reporting from the employee's YTD information according to the government defined requirements. These processes include:

• Generating and printing the RL-2 Slips
• Generating the Magnetic Media xml file required to electronically submit to the government.

IDFD Form Definition#

IDFD Changes
For 2017-2018 reporting, the IDFD HL$CAN-R2-2017 Form Code is used.

High Line provides this definition each year as part of the year end software delivered in December. It is not necessary to maintain this form, unless instructed to do so by High Line. This seed data script is re-runnable. It will not erase the IDFDV set up of the same Form Code.

IDFD Store Options
Users must run the RPYEC process with the current year Form Code, or a copy of this Form Code that has the "Store Option" set up to store the Names, Addresses and the Amounts in the Government Remittance Tables.

After the current year IDFD is loaded, users must set up their organizations's information for this Form Definition on the IDFDV form. Users can copy the IDFDV Variable definition form the last year to the current year. Please refer to the 'Copy Last Year's Definition to Current Year' section below for full details.

RPRL2/RPRL2W Selection Criteria#

RPRL2/RPRL2W Slip Print Processing#

The RPRL2/RPRL2W Form Print program format is based on the Government published RL-2.L (2016-10) Form.

High Line supports the latest version of the government published form at the time of programming and informs users of the form version being used. High Line recommends using the same form version as the RPRL2/RPRL2W program.

The RPRL2 Form Print program prints all information generated by the RPGRC_HL.xml file according to the defined criteria.

The RPRL2W Form Print program prints all information generated based on the GVT Run number.

If an employee has many footnote codes to be reported, each subsequent RL-2 Slip is printed with footnote codes until all footnotes codes are printed.

The RPRL2/RPRL2W program generates Summary Totals by each Business Number. At the end of the RPRL2/RPRL2W run, a grand total is generated for all Business Numbers.

Users must run RMEX with the RPRL2/RPRL2W Mex ID to obtain the Summary and Grand totals to balance to the RPGRC Summary report.

The RPRL2/RPRL2W Summary and Grand Totals are accumulated for the Boxes shown on the Slip. The footnote codes are not totaled.

Users should confirm that the RPRL2/RPRL2W Boxes balance to the RPGRC Summary Report.

If the RPRL2/RPRL2W process cannot select any information from the xml file to print, users must run RMEX with the RPRL2/RPRL2W Mex ID to review any error or exception messages to identify the problem. Typically, the problem is because of an invalid Directory or File name.

Employer and Employee Copy
Users are required to print the Employer and Employee Copy of the RL-2. Users must run RPRL2/RPRL2W twice; once to print the Employer Copy and once to print the Employee Copy.

When RPRL2/RPRL2W is run, the Print RL-2 Copy field defines if the Employer or Employee Copy is printed.

Employer Copy

• On one sheet, the RL-2 information is printed for 3 different employees
• The Employer Copy can be sent to the government or to be kept by your organization
  
  

Employee Copy

• On one sheet, 3 RL-2 copies are printed for one employee
• The Employee Copy should be distributed to the Employees
  
  

Duplicate Copies
If an employee loses their RL-2 Slip, the employee can request the employer to issue a duplicate copy of their original RL-2 slip to replace the lost or destroyed slips.

To issue Duplicate copies:
1. Go to the IPGH form for the employee and highlight the form to be duplicated

• Change the Print Stage to 'Duplicate Requested'
• Click Save
• Repeat for all employees who have requested duplicate copies

When users are running RPRL2 with the new _HL.xml file (RPRL2W with the new GVT Run number), RPRL2/RPRL2W will automatically print the DUPLICATE COPY or AMENDED on the RL-2 Slip depending on the GVT Run option of the RPRL2 run.

When RPRL2/RPRL2W is run in non-trial mode, the GVT Header stage will be updated to Duplicate or Amended.

2. Run RPRL2/RPRL2W with the 'Gvt Form Option' set to 'Duplicate Forms' and the 'Trial Print Only' set to 'Yes'

• RPGRC retrieves all GVT Headers with the Print Stage defined as 'Duplicate Requested' and generates the HL xml file for the RPRL2/RPRL2W Form Print program.
• There is no need to generate a government xml file for duplicate forms. Users do not need to enter the Govt Interface Format definition for RPGRC.
  
  

3. Run RPRL2/RPRL2W to print the duplicate forms

• Run the Form Print RPRL2/RPRL2W program to read the HL xml file from RPGRC to print the duplicate forms
• At the end of the Form Print, if the 'Trial Print Only' field is set to No, the GVT Header stage will be updated to 'Duplicate Printed'
• Users can re-run the Form Print program for the Employee Copy or the Employer Copy from the same HL xml file. The GVT Header stage will be updated to 'Duplicate Printed' depending on the 'Trial Print Only' field setting.
  
  

Amended Copies
If a user discovers erroneous box information on the RL-2 slip and needs to revise the Box information, users may need to either correct the employee amounts or modify the IDFDV set up, then re-run the RPGRC and RPRL2/RPRL2W processes. This produces the Amended RL-2 slip.

To issue Amended copies:

1. Update the employee’s YTD information through payroll.

2. Check the IDFDV set up and revise the box information, if necessary.

3. Go to the IPGH form for the employee. Locate the form to be amended.

• Change the 'Print Stage' to 'Amendment Requested'
• Save
• Repeat this for all employees who requested Amended copies of their forms.
  

4. Run RPYEC with the GVT Form Option set to 'Amended Forms'

• Do not set the Trial Print Only toggle to ON, for the RPYEC process
• Users can set the Retain Amend/Reject Form to ON, to retain the original copy prior to generating the amendment.
• The RPYEC process will retrieve all GVT Headers with the Print Stage set to 'Amendment Requested' and re-derives the YTD according to the IDFDV setup to generate the GVT Header with:
  • Print Stage = Amend, Form not Printed
  • File Stage = Amend, File not Created
    

5. Run RPGRC with the 'GVT Form Option' set to 'Amended Forms'

• Do not set the Trial Print Only toggle to ON, for the RPGRC process
• The RPGRC process will retrieve all GVT Headers with the Print Stage set to 'Amend, File not Created' and generates the HL xml file for the RPRL2/RPRL2W print program.
• Users should enter the Govt Interface Format definition for the RPGRC to generate the amended government xml file.
• At the end of the RPGRC, the GVT Headers is updated with:
  • Print Stage = No Change, Existing Value
  • File Stage = Amend File Created
    

6. Run RPRL2/RPRL2W to print the Amended forms.

• When the user is running RPRL2 with the new _HL.xml file, (RPRL2W with the new GVT Run number) RPRL2/RPRL2W will automatically print the word DUPLICATE COPY or AMENDED on the RL-2 form, depending on the GVT Run option of the RPGRC run.
• If other wording is required to print on the RL-2 slip, in the Duplicate/Amended parameter, users can enter the text for RPRL2, such as CANCEL COPY or ORIGINAL COPY.
• At the end of the RPRL2/RPRL2W run in non-trial mode, the GVT Header Stage will be updated with either the DUPLICATE or AMENDED stage.
  
  

RPRL2/RPRL2W Void Forms

• After the RL-2 slip are printed, the RPRL2/RPRL2W process will generate an intermediate Summary Total on the RMEX report
• Users will bundle the Summary Total with the current year RL-2 slip to send to the government
• If an employee requires more than one RL-2 slip, and this employee’s RL-2 information is split between 2 summaries, then this employee’s RL-2 information will be printed on the first Summary Total. Consequently, there may be more RL-2 slips on the Summary.
• When the last RL-2 slip is printed for the first Summary, if the last RL-2 information prints on the TOP RL-2 slip, the BOTTOM RL-2 slip will be VOIDED so users can separate the RL-2 slips by Summary.
• When RPRL2/RPRL2W is run, if there is more than one Government Registration Number from IDGR:
  • The RL-2 forms will be sorted by Government Registration Numbers
  • RPRL2/RPRL2W will generate totals for each Government Registration Number on the RMEX report.
• When the last RL-2 form is printed for the first Government Registration Number, if the last RL-2 information prints on the TOP RL-2 slip, the BOTTOM RL-2 slip will be VOIDED so users can separate the RL-2 slips by Government Registration Number.

RL-2 Slip Print Characteristics#

When RPYEC is run, users must enter:

1. The Federal Government Registration to select employees at the Federal level.
2. The Province of Quebec to run RPYEC for Releve 2.
3. The Provincial Government Registration for Quebec.

• RL-2 slips are printed in alphabetical order by the employee’s Surname, First Name.
• The font size for printing RL-2 slips is the standard 10 characters per inch font size.
• Negative (credit) amounts are never allowed for RL-2 reporting. If negative amounts are encountered, an exception message is displayed, and users must resolve the negative amount(s) and re-run the process.
• If there is no amount to be printed in a Box on the RL-2 Slip, the Box is left as Blank.
• Users can sort inactive and active employees so inactive employees are printed separately for mailing purposes.
• If the Employment Status is A (Active) then the Employee is considered Active, otherwise the employee is considered Inactive.
• When RPRL2/RPRL2W is run, RL-2 Grand Totals are generated for all RL-2 Slips as Execution Run Log Exception messages to balance to RPYEC summary report.
• Users MUST run the RMEX report for the Mex ID from the RPRL2/RPRL2W run to print the RL-2 Grand Totals to verify all records are printed.
  
  

RL-2 Slip Print Distribution#

On the RL-2 Slip, users can print the user defined distribution information for users to distribute the RL-2 Slips to the employees. Users must set up the following Identifiers, derived from the IDFDV form:

Field Identifier	Suggested Field Source	Suggested Variable
R2-EE-REFER	Constant	1
R2-EE-DESTIN	Constant	1
R2-EE-REFER2		DED.ENTITY_CODE
R2-EE-REFER2		EID.PERSON_CODE

If the R2-EE-REFER value = 1, the distribution will be printed below the employee address, and the distribution will be visible outside the window envelope, depending on the envelope.

Otherwise, the distribution will not be printed.

If the R2-EE-REFER value = 1, the distribution information is printed from:

• The employee’s pay destination, such as Department, if defined
• Concatenates with the values from R2-EE-REFER2 and R2-EE-REFER2

If the R2-EE-DESTIN value = 1, the employee’s pay destination is concatenated to R2-EE-REFER2

Numbering of RL-2 Slips
Refer to the Quebec publication IN-800-V section 4.4 Numbering of R Slips.

The number on each RL-2 Slip must be composed of nine digits, with the ninth digit representing the check digit.

The Ministere du Revenu du Quebec assigns each Employer with a beginning number that contains 8 digits. The ninth digit is derived from the 8 digits number using the modulus 7 method.

Example:
Beginning number: 71997012

Using modulus 7 method to retrieve the remainder number:
71997012 / 7 = 10285287 with the remainder 3

Therefore the RL Slip number is:
719970123 (71997012 concatenated with the remainder 3)

The next RL Slip number is calculated by:

• Add 1 to the beginning number to calculate the next number:
  • 71997012 + 1 = 71997013
  • 71997013 / 7 = 10285287 with the remainder 4
    
    

Therefore the RL Slip number is:

• 719970134 (71997013 concatenated with the remainder 4)
  
  

On the IDFDV form, R2-FORM-NUM-BEG Field Identifier, users must enter the 8 digit beginning number assigned by Ministere du Revenu du Quebec.

After RPYEC is run, RPYEC displays the last RL-2 Slip number assigned as an exception message on the RPYEC report.

Users need to verify all RL-2 box information on the RPYEC summary report. If the RL-2 Summary report is incorrect, users can re-run RPYEC as many times as required without changing the R2-FORM-NUM-BEG number.

Once all of the information is verified with the RPYEC report, users should run RPGRC to generate the xml files for RPRL2/RPRL2W to print the RL-2 Forms.

IMPORTANT: After the RPRL2/RPRL2W program is run, users must manually go into the IDFDV form and update the R2-FORM-NUM-BEG with the last Form Number assigned + 1 for the next RPYEC RL-2 run.

For each RPYEC run, users must ensure that the R2-FORM-NUM-BEG number contains the beginning number to be used since the last RPYEC run so that no duplicate numbers are produced for the RL-2 forms. Users only need to enter the 8 digits of the previous RPYEC run in this field.

When RPYEC generates the GVT Header records for RL-2 for the employees, the system derives the RL-2 Slip number for each form and stores them in the GVT Header Form Number field. Users can view the Form Number on the IPGH form after RPYEC is run.

The IPGH Form Number is used by RPGRC to generate:

• The government RL-2 xml file to send to the Quebec government, and
• The _HL.xml file for RPRL2 to print the exact same number on RL-2 form

RPGRC displays the highest Form Number of the run at the end of the report. If a user is selecting to print a specific employee only, the printed Form Number will not be the latest Form Number being used. Consequently, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure the IDFDV R2-FORM-NUM-BEG is updated correctly with the highest number.

Field Identifier	Description	Suggested Field Source	Suggested Variable
R2-FORM-NUM-BEG	Releve1 Form beginning number	Constant	Enter your company data

Please enter the 8 digit number assigned to you by Ministere du Revenu, such as 71997012.

Field Identifier	Description	Suggested Field Source	Suggested Variable
R2-FORM-NUM-LAST	Releve1 Form Last Assigned #	Constant	System Derived

After each RPYEC run, this identifier is updated to store the last number assigned according to the R2-FORM-NUM-BEG Identifier. After RPRL2/RPRL2W is run to print the actual RL-2 Slip, users must manually add 1 to this number and then update the R2-FORM-NUM-BEG Identifier so that the next RPYEC run can begin with the correct new number.

Field Identifier	Description	Suggested Field Source	Suggested Variable
R2-FORM-NUM-ORIG	Releve1 Original Form Number	Not Specified	Do not set up this identifier

When users are running Amended or Canceled forms, the system will retrieve the Original Releve Form Number and pass this Identifier to print on the RL-2 Slip and for the government Amended/Canceled XML file.

RL-2 Slip Footnotes and Messages#

Users can set up the following Identifiers to print user defined footnote codes and messages:

For Numeric Field Variables:

Field Identifier	Description	Suggested Field Source	Suggested Variable
R2-NOTE-01	User defined footnote description	Pay Component	Enter your company data
R2-NOTE-02	User defined footnote description	Pay Component	Enter your company data
R2-NOTE-20	User defined footnote description	Pay Component	Enter your company data

• In the Description field, enter a brief description, up to 30 characters
• Define the Field Variable. If the Field Variable value is greater than 0, then the description and the amount will be printed in the center of the RL-2 Slip
  

For AlphaNumeric Field Variables:

Field Identifier	Description	Suggested Field Source	Suggested Variable
R2-ALPHA-01	User defined footnote description	Pay Component	Enter your company data
R2-ALPHA-02	User defined footnote description	Pay Component	Enter your company data
R2-ALPHA-10	User defined footnote description	Pay Component	Enter your company data

• In the Description field, enter a brief description, up to 30 characters
• Define the Field Variable. If the Field Variable value is greater than 0, then the description and the amount will be printed in the center of the RL-2 Slip.
  
  

If a user wants to print the message only when a Field Variable is defined, the ‘ ’ decode can be used to return for printing.
Example: R2-ALPHA-02 defines the STAT EE Statistic Component. When STAT EE = 1.00, then print Employee Non-Contrib. Use decode(~,'1',' ',NULL) in the derivation expression.

Printing RPRL2/RPRL2W
For Oracle Reports, before running any reports, users must define the Destination Format as PDF on the "Run Options" tab.

Users should run all Government Form Print programs, such as RPRL1/RPRL1W and RPRL2/RPRL2W with this setting.

All Form Print programs are aligned with the government forms in a PDF format. Users can adjust the parameters for the Top Margin and the Between Form Space when generating the PDF file. Once the PDF file is generated, users will not need to adjust the Page Set up when printing.

Magnetic Media - Government XML File#

IDIF – RL-2 Govt XML File Layout
The government file layouts are provided by the government on their web site each year. High Line uses the IDIF form to define the government file as specified, in an xml file format. The IDIF layout is provided by High Line with the year end software (SEED_IDIF_HL$CAN_R2_2017.sql. Users do not need to modify this form.

Users must run the RPYEC and the RPGRC processes to generate the Magnetic Media file in the government XML file format. Please refer to the Government Reporting Procedures, Sequence section in this manual that describes how the processes should be run.

The government requires users to validate the government XML file according to the downloaded government xml schema using a validation parser prior to sending the file to the government.

Validating the Govt XML File
A validating parser, from any third party tool, will perform the following checks on the government XML file generated by RPGRC:

1. Verify the government XML file is properly created according to the XML syntax rules, such as the file is well formed, no missing xml tags, etc.
2. Verify the government XML file conforms to the schema downloaded from the government web site.

Validating parser software is NOT provided by High Line. Organizations can use any third party validating parser tool. High Line uses the XML SPY Home edition tool to validate the RL-2 and RL-2 xml files.
