how to generate T4A-NR in Canadian Payroll

edited Apr 30, 2026 7:22PM in Payroll and Global Payroll Interface (GPI) 4 comments

Summary:
Hiring an individual as an employee results in a T4 being issued. In that case, what worker type should be selected instead?

  • If the individual is not hired as an employee, no Calculation Card is created, and therefore the person is not included in the payroll run.
  • Which payroll elements need to be assigned to the individual and how should the system be configured to ensure the individual receives a T4A‑NR?

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

I hired an employee but didn't assign him salary element. Instead, I assigned him a custom 'Standard Earnings' element and fed the balances to 'T4A Fees for Services'. I created a separate TRU for NR and generated the T4A slip. The balance showed up in Box 48 and the slip is titled 'T4A'. How can I get T4A_NR generated. What changes need to be done at the configuration level?

Howdy, Stranger!
