Anyone here know of any pay stub software or generators to make paystubs to email to an employee, never had to do it before. What do the business owners do, I looked online but still confused.
 
Quickbooks Online would make the most sense since it's designed for small businesses. The software is cloud based so there's nothing to install on your computer and it's made by the same company that makes Quicken. You can also outsource HR and payroll to companies like ADP or Ceridian. Both options have a monthly fee attached though. Obviously, if you're a business it's very important to keep proper payroll records so it's an important investment i.e. I wouldn't recommend doing payroll by yourself with an Excel spreadsheet.
 
Right now I have one employee paid bi weekly, was going to etransfer the money, then email a pay stub, is that possible?

You still are responsible for EI, CPP and other deductions for your single employee.

You could attempt to make your own pay stub using Excel if you want to be cheap, but be very careful that you don't make any mistakes. That's why I recommend software like QuickBooks to make the pay stub and e-mail your employee too.
 
I'd like to use a paystub like this but I can't figure out how to transfer it to my libre office doc so I can edit it?? template 5..........quickbooks looks to be 29$ a month, not paying that for one employee. I might have to print it and scan it somehow.

Here is a link to CRA payroll calculator you can print the report and use if for a stub

They told me I couldn't do that, says this on their site, do people use it?

The printed calculations created by PDOC are not intended to be used as a statement of earnings. Please contact your employment standards representative for all of the information legally required on a statement of earnings specific to your province or territory.
 
Just create a template in Excel that replicates the CRA payroll calculator figures.

It doesn't say you cannot, only that they didn't intend that use when they set up the site. They point out that it is your Provincial employment standard folks who write the rules about what info a paystub must include, not the CRA.

If you are confident your calculations are all proper, and that you have included everything your provincial authorities require, then you can write out the 'stub' in longhand, for all anyone cares. It's just a paper which details the arithmetic used to whittle the worker's Gross Pay down to the Net Pay it says on the cheque it refers to. Just be sure to actually send the amounts on the 'stub' to the proper authorities.

And keep receipts and copies.

It's a general disclaimer in case their format doesn't meet the particular employment standards of the jurisdiction in question.

For example, the CRA payroll calculator doesn't show hours worked or whether it's regular pay vs overtime, etc. etc.

If your employee is salaried, then the CRA 'stub' should suffice.

You can download PDF copies and then email.
