Reading the Pay screen

The Pay screen shows what your cheque should be: what you earned, what comes off, and your take-home pay.

Choosing what to see

Tap the menu at the top right of the Pay screen:

• Pay period: one cheque. Use the arrows to step to earlier or later cheques.
• Month: every cheque paid in a month, added together.
• Year: every cheque paid in a year, added together.

Months and years count cheques by payday, so they match your bank deposits and your T4.

If you have more than one job, tap the job name to switch.

What each card shows

• Net estimate Your take-home pay, with gross pay and deductions underneath. While the pay period is still going, it says Net so far.
• Earnings Your hours and pay by rate, such as Regular, Time and a half and Double time. It also shows minimum pay, meal allowances, premiums, holiday pay, vacation pay, overtime you banked, and banked time paid out, when you have them.
• Retro pay Appears when a raise was back-dated and the difference is paid on this cheque.
• Deductions Federal and provincial tax, CPP, EI, union dues and any other deductions, with the total.
• CPP and EI this year How much you’ve paid toward each yearly maximum, counting this cheque and the ones before it.
• Banked time Appears once your contract has banked some overtime. See How does banked time work?
• Your actual cheque Compare your real pay stub with the estimate (Pro). See Why your estimate can differ from your cheque.
• How this was worked out The steps of the tax calculation, if you’re curious.

On Month and Year, a list of each cheque. Tap one to open its pay period.

Estimates only. Not legal or tax advice. Your employer’s payroll may differ.
