For an employee with a middle initial or suffix in their name, Dayforce displays the employee's middle initial and suffix on earning statements and tax forms, including the outside of the printed versions, and on relevant reports in Year End > Canada Year End.
Typically, Dayforce displays one tax form for each employee, but it generates more than one tax form for employees under the following circumstances:
- If employees have wages or taxes from more than one CRA account.
- If employees moved provinces or territories within the year, Dayforce generates one form for each province or state that an employee lived in during the year.
- If employees worked in multiple legal entities within the year, Dayforce generates one tax form for each legal entity an employee worked in during the year.
- If there are earnings mapped to more than six boxes in the Other Information section. A single T4 form can list six boxes in the Other Information section, which includes non-standard earnings that aren’t mapped to the commonly used boxes printed on the main form. If for any reason an employee has earnings mapped to more than six T4 boxes that are printed in the Other Information section, Dayforce generates additional T4 forms for the overflow.
- If amendments were made to employee payroll information (wages or taxes) after you have committed tax forms for the year, you must submit amended forms.
T4 forms aren't generated for employees who earn less than $500 in employment income. These employees are also required to meet additional criteria: to have zero amounts in Box 16, 17, 18, 22, and 52 of the T4. The only exception to this rule is when the employee has a group term life insurance benefit. In that case, the T4 is generated even when the employment income is less than $500.
