Ok so I want to make sure I am doing this correctly.  The finance girl was laid off last year and I was put in her place with no accounting background what so ever.  I figured out how to do the payroll remittance by opening the past ones she did. So here is what I do:

Reports/Payroll/Employees

Report Type: Detail

Select All

Start: the first or the 16 of each month

Finish: the 15 or last day of each month

This gives me the GROSS (what I enter in the Payroll Remittance Form)

I compare the Net Pay with the DD Log to make sure it matches

Then I print the following:

Report/Payroll/Deduction and Expenses

Start and End : same as above

Select: CPP, EI, TAX

That gives me the amounts to pay along with the number of employees for that period.

Now that I have those numbers I go to my recurring payables and I post it as follow:

2185 CPP Payable

2180 EI Payable

2190 Witholding Tax Payable

If my remittance are for the 1-15 i post it as the 16. (should I post it as the 15??)

If my remittance are for 16-31 I post it as the 1st. (should I post it as the last day??)

That is what I am not sure that I am doing correctly.  Should I post it as of the 15 or the 31?

Then when I want to make the payment i go to:

Payment/Pay Purchase Invoice

Then I post it as of the day i pay it

Since I am starting a new year I want to start it properly.  Can someone tell me if I need to tweak anything?

Thanks,
