Hi 

I would recommend check on a new cheque ( dont need to post) as payroll setting are not retroactive. 

WCB calculates on income that calculates tax, you can verify that with the math.

hope this helps

I understand that it calculates on taxed amounts.  But it just does not make any sense to me unless I am misssing something.  The taxable amount is the 1707.48

if you check the setting is correct and math is wrong, then I would suggest you change your WSIB % to 1% save then try on new cheque, see if that resets the setting.

if that doesn't help, you can post the image of cheque and JE here or call Sage support for further investigation

hope this helps

Were you able to correct this problem? I am in Quebec and pay CNESST and I have the same problem. My calculation shows that on a salary of 242$, with a rate of 9.80%, I should pay 23.72$; My report shows 24.51$ which would be based on a salary of 250$ rather than the 242$ I paid. 

Hi Gayleeliza

WCB is calculated on gross pay. If there is a taxable benefit set up for the employee, WCB is calculated on the Taxable Benefit. Below are 2 screen shots showing the journal entry and the screen shot of the payroll journal. Note the journal entry shows wages of 1707.48 and WCB of 76.84.... which is correct for the journal entry. Note the screen shot shows the gross wages which the WCB is calculated on is 2578.52, there is a salary of 1707.48 and also in the Other Amounts column income in the form of a taxable benefit labelled TB of 871.04. The two amounts summed create the Gross Wage of 2578.52 which the WCB is calculated on.

I hope this helps.

Hi Jo Anne,

I had a look at my journal entry and I think I figured it out. The CNESST (WCB) is calculated on the salary + vacation payable.  Thank you.
