Hi

Just received this e-mais from Service Canada. Will Sage make the appropriate changes by April,1 2016 or before?

In an effort to standardize the ROE Web file versions, the following ROE Web formats will be discontinued on March 31st, 2016: 
  • 27 Week Flat file
  • 53 Week Flat file
  • 53 Week Payroll Extract File XML version 1.0
  • 27 Week Online Form  
Effective April 1st, 2016, Service Canada will only be accepting the following Record of Employment (ROE) Web formats:
 

·         53-Week Online Form

·         53-Week Payroll Extract File XML Version 2.0

53 Week Assistant Online form

 

According to our records, you are issuing ROEs in one of the formats to be discontinued. We strongly encourage you to take action as soon as possible. The technical specifications required to adapt to one of the new formats can be found on the ROE Web site. ROEs submitted after March 31st, 2016 using an decommissioned format will not be accepted.
Please share this message with your Primary Officer or individuals responsible for the Pay Services within your organisation to ensure that the appropriate changes are implemented by March 31st, 2016.
 
If you are already issuing ROE’s in the new format, please disregard this email.
 
Thank you.
