Using the Relevé 1s Report

Note: To use this report, you must have both Government Reporting and SSN or SIN Number Maintenance security authorizations. For more information, see About Payroll Security Groups.

The payroll program prints the information on the Relevé 1 for the selected year as required by Revenu Québec.

Note: Sage 300 Payroll uses Sage Payroll Tax Forms and eFiling by Aatrix services for printing and filing most government reports and forms. To learn more about this functionality, read About Sage Payroll Tax Forms and eFiling by Aatrix.

Before you start

Review the gross pay, pensionable earnings, CPP/QPP deductions and calculations, and EI earnings and deductions for employees that may be out of balance based on expected CPP/QPP and EI contributions. To do this:

  1. From Payroll Reports > Government Reports, select T4s and open the report window.
  2. Select the Print CPP/QPP and EI Balancing Report option.
  3. Choose the appropriate Pay Cycle and Pay Cycle Number.
  4. Click Print.

To print the report

  1. From Payroll Reports > Government Reports, select Relevé 1s.
  2. Enter the payment year for which to process Relevé 1s.
  3. Select the window type on which to print Relevé 1s.
  4. Print in one of the following ways:
    • To print both the Relevé 1 form and the data, load your printer with blank paper, and choose Plain Paper.
    • To print the data on preprinted Relevé 1 forms, load your printer with the preprinted forms, and choose Laser Printer.
  5. To include the employees in a selection list, choose the selection list of employees for whom Relevé 1s will be processed.
  6. Choose a range of employees for whom Relevé 1s will be processed (in addition to or instead of a selection list).
  7. Choose to sort the Relevé 1s by employee name, social insurance number, employee number, or class. If you selected to sort the Relevé 1s by class, the system prompts you for the class to print (Class 1, 2, 3, or 4) and for the sort order within that class — employee number or employee name.
  8. Choose the file type to include, either Original file or Amended file.
  9. Enter the employer name and address.
  10. Optionally select employees who are assigned a particular EI rate. For example, if you use two EI rates in your payroll system, and you want to select only the employees who are assigned to the second rate, then select the Rate 2 check box.

    Similarly, to select employees who are exempt from EI premiums, select the EI Exempt check box.

    Note: The Rate 1 to Rate 5 check boxes and the EI Exempt check box apply to both the federal EI and Quebec EI.

  11. If you are filing Relevé 1s electronically, enter the starting Relevé 1 number to use when you produce the Relevé 1s on magnetic media. This should be the same number that you enter in the Starting Slip Number field of the Relevé 1s Electronic Filing window.
  12. To print a sample Relevé 1 to test printer alignment, click Align.
  13. To print Relevé 1s, click Print. To cancel printing, click Close.
  14. When finished, click Close.

To restore the defaults

To always display the original defaults (print for the current year, print all employees, and so forth) in the Relevé 1s window, rather than the most recently-entered values, run the Objects command on the desktop with the Relevé 1s icon highlighted. Select Restore Defaults... and make sure the All Other Settings box is selected.
