I am a new user to Sage 50 2019. Our company only has 1 employee/owner so I set him up as an employee under the "employee & payroll" feature instead of purchasing the payroll module. I enter all the deductions manually but under the WSIB tab, I put in the rate. I also set up the remittance journal feature so I can pay the remittances through it. I now noticed that the WSIB is showing in the ledger as a deduction on his pay cheque as "WSIB payable" but on his paycheques, I only deduct taxes and CPP which I manually enter. My question is, how do I do this correctly. Should I delete the WSIB rate from the employee record and just make the quarterly remittance to WSIB through the A/P feature (there is currently a WSIB vendor set up) or should it show as a deduction on each paycheque even though I am not actually deducting WSIB from his pay, and pay it through the remittance journal. The correct amount payable for this remittance is showing in the remittance journal.
My second question is, I tried to set up the remittance payable to CRA for CPP and taxes through the remittances journal but it is showing the CPP as negative yet the tax amount is correct. The result is that the amount payable is not the correct amount that I have to remit for source deductions.
Please help.
