5. Select the Deduction/contribution type from the ▼ dropdown menu

6. Enter a Description (appears on paycheque)

7. In the Company contribution section, select Flat amount or Percentage of gross pay. Then enter the amount or percent per paycheck

8. If you want to specify an annual maximum amount for company contributions, enter the amount in the Annual Max field

I thought I had this set this up correctly as I was wanting to add an RRSP contribution where I wanted to pay my employee extra for them to put towards their RRSP. I set it up under this contribution section, but I am finding out that this only keeps track and does not actually add any amount onto the paycheque. Is this correct or is there a problem with my system?? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello CYoung27. Thanks for chiming in on this thread. I'll be happy to help you going forward. Are you experiencing this issue while using a private/incognito browser window? 

No I am not using a private or incognito browser

I see. Once you've set up a deduction it's important you assign it to your employees. To do this, I recommend checking out this article here that shows you how. Let me know what happens when you follow the steps that show you how to assign the contribution. I'll be here.
