Q - How do I amend an ROE?

To amend an ROE simply go to the Request ROE screen and select the History filter. Search for the Finalized ROE and click on the wrench icon under the Action Tools column. At this point the ROE will open and you can adjust. The ROE will be resubmitted to Service Canada with an amended Serial number in Block 2.

You may need to amend an ROE for various reasons. You may need to change the Reason code, First Day worked, Last Day for which Paid. You may have found out after the ROE was generated that there are other monies owing to the employee, they may be entitled to some Sick leave/maternity of parental leave benefits or a Group Wage loss indemnity payments, or you may owe them Statutory Holiday earnings.

Q - What happens if I did not pay out vacation pay entitled to an employee when I terminated them?

Go to the Employee Profile, select the Payroll tab and change the employee to active, then the start date to be greater than the termination date tab down to the termination date and delete it, press enter to save.

Q - PAYweb.ca does not have the entire history for my employees as we had a different service provider prior to PAYweb. How do I get the proper EI history onto the ROE?

You have two options, if you have received ROEs from your previous provider then you would issue two ROEs for the employee, one from the previous payroll provider and one from PAYweb. Alternately you can manually adjust the ROE to include the per pay information from your previous payroll provider

Q – How long should it take to get my ROE back for my employee?

Files are submitted by PAYweb to Service Canada every 30 minutes, this means that you can received your ROE back as quickly as 35 minutes. However, processing times at Service Canada are out of our control so we cannot guarantee. You will likely have your ROE back the same business day.

Q - How long will the ROE’s be on the system?

ROE’s will stay on the system for 11 years for easy access
