Payroll looks simple until it isn't: source deductions due on unforgiving CRA deadlines, vacation and stat holiday rules, WorkSafeBC and employer health tax layered on top, and year-end slips that must reconcile to the penny. Silverline runs payroll end-to-end for businesses across Surrey, Vancouver, Langley, and Delta — from a first hire to a full crew — so paydays are a non-event and remittance penalties never happen.

Who this is for:

First-time employers who want it set up right (see our hiring guide), growing businesses tired of doing payroll at midnight, and employers who've had a remittance scare and never want another.

Our payroll services include:

  • New employer setup — CRA payroll account, WorkSafeBC registration, and payroll software configuration (QuickBooks or Xero)

  • Scheduled pay runs — salaried, hourly, and commission staff, with direct deposit

  • Source deduction calculations and on-time CRA remittances (income tax, CPP, EI)

  • Vacation pay, statutory holiday, and overtime calculations under BC Employment Standards

  • Records of Employment (ROEs) on departures and leaves

  • T4 and T4A preparation, filing, and year-end payroll reconciliation

  • Taxable benefit tracking (vehicles, allowances, group benefits)

  • Employer health tax monitoring, registration, and filings as your payroll grows

  • T5018 contract payment reporting for construction businesses

  • Employee vs. contractor classification reviews — before the CRA does one for you

  • Payroll cleanup and catch-up for businesses behind on remittances or filings

Payroll run by a Chartered Professional Accounting firm — the same team that handles your books and year-end, so nothing falls between providers.
