At least 1 in 100 businesses get investigated every year. Many are left in a panic when the inquiry letter arrives.

Labour Standards requires that employers keep all records for 4 years, but the CRA requires you to keep all records and supporting documents for 7 years.

Where should I store my company payroll records?

You must keep records at your place of business or your residence in Canada, unless the CRA gives you written permission to keep them elsewhere. 

When I hire a new employee, what deductions need to be made for their pay?

When you hire and start paying a new employee, you have to deduct Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, and Federal and Provincial Income Tax.
