I have seasonal employees to layoff. We will top up the EI (Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plan) from what I read, that money isn't EI Insurable. How do I set this up?

"Payments under a registered SUB plan are not considered as insurable earnings; therefore, EI premiums are not deducted." https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/ei/ei-list/reports/supplemental-unem...

Payments under a registered SUB (Supplemental Unemployment Benefit) plan are not considered insurable earnings, meaning EI premiums are not deducted, Cowancountry.

 

To ensure this is reflected in QuickBooks, EI needs to be marked as non-taxable. Here's how you can set this up:

 

  1. Navigate Payroll and select your Employee.
  2. Under Tax withholding, click Edit.
  3. Scroll down until you reach the Tax exemptions section and select Employment Insurance (EI).
  4. Click Save.
