Running trial Releve electronic file

  1. Generate preliminary files.

    Run the Releve 1 and Releve 2 process to create CSV and XML files.

    The Update Employee Slip parameter field should be set to disabled on all RL-1 and RL-2 test runs. The field value should be changed to enabled on the final, original, or amended run that is used to create the RL-1 or RL-2 XML file that is sent to Revenu Quebec. Enabling the Update Employee Slip results in the employee's CSV and XML slip number being stored to Employee Quebec Year End Parameters - Releve 1 or Employee Configurable Fields - Amend or Cancel Employee Quebec Releve 2 Year End Parameters for potential future use in creating amended or canceled RL-1 or RL-2 XML files.

  2. Review for errors.

    Open the generated files and check for any inconsistencies or missing data.

    Common issues include incorrect Social Insurance Numbers (SINs), misclassified earnings, or missing taxable benefits.

  3. Repeat as needed.

    This process does not update your data, so you can run it multiple times without affecting your records.

    You may perform this step after you close the payroll year and after your first payroll cycle of the new year.

  4. Check the error report.

    If any issues are detected, an error report is automatically generated.

    Review the report carefully and correct all errors in your year-end data and year-end parameters.

  5. Prepare for final submission.

    Once all errors are resolved, you can proceed to generate the final submission file for the Revenu Quebec.

    Do not change the parameters on Year End Configurable Fields and Employee Configurable Fields before you run Generate Releve 1 and Releve 2.
