Our clients are mostly based in the GTA, but we work 100% remotely!
Tasks include processing net pays, making calculations related to raises, bonuses and retro pay, processing new hires and terminations, issuing ROEs, processing taxable benefits and deductions, group benefits administration, pension administration, WCB administration, and client management.
