Quebec payroll 2017-QHSF and EI rates

Can someone tell me if in "Use these settings for employer tax expenses"  I have to change the QHSF and EI rates for 2017? Right now they are set as EI factor 1.4 and QHSF is 2.70.  From what I see the rate for QHSF or FSS in French should be 2.50% for total salaries less than 1 million per year. Sage is kind of new to me and I know we have to change the CSST amounts manually because they change yearly (most of the time) but about other rates I thought the system automatically changes the rates once the updates are implemented. Thanks Natalie

    Hi Natalie

    EI factor is for the employer part: employee part * 1.4 = employer part. (employee factor is hidden inside sage payroll settings)

    for FSS, www.revenuquebec.ca/.../2015-04-24.aspx
    Since Sage does not know what is your total salary, it let you change the factor. Go to Setup, Settings, Payroll, Taxes, change QHSF factor to what suits your need.

    For CSST, depending of wich version of Sage you use, you can change all employees rate here: Maintenance, Update employee WCB rate. Read instruction given following the link near the top of this new window.

    Give it a try and come back!
