Running the Releve (RL-1 and RL-2) slips

Note: If PR243 is populated from a previous run, clear all the fields on the form. Add new Year End jobs each year after installing the YE download.

Run Releve Slips (PR243) to:

  • Generate a trial run of RL-1 and RL-2 slips to review for errors and correct those errors, and

  • Generate the final RL-1 and RL-2 slips and submit a file to a third party for printing.

Do not change the parameters on Year End Parameters (PR27.1) after you run Releve Slips (PR243) and before you run Releve Magnetic Media (PR244).

Before you process your RL-1 and RL-2 slips, we recommend that you run Year End Parameter-Copy/Delete (PR127) in Report mode to verify the parameters that are used by Payroll to process RL-1 and RL-2 slips.

You can also run Year-End Parameter Report (PR227) to print a list of the dependant process levels, along with an indicator of whether the dependant process level parameters are different from the report entity parameters. We recommend that you test your year end parameters before you process your Releve slips.

Run the Releve (RL-1 and RL-2) slips

  1. Access Releve Slips (PR243).

  2. Select the company for which to run the report.

  3. Specify the reporting year in the Payroll Year field.

  4. On the Main tab, select a Type of Process (RL-1 or RL-2), optionally select the employee group to process, or an Employee range.

  5. On the Run Options tab, specify this information:

    Slip Sort

    Select the order of sorting for the slip. This uses the HR11 value at the time this program is run. For the RevQC for the Ministere du Revenu copy, the slips are printed in alphabetical order.

    Employee Seq

    Select the order for employee sequencing. Employee records will print in this order within the sort order defined for reports or slips. Select alpha, numeric, or SIN.

    Pay Status

    Specify whether to include or exclude the pay from the sort.

    Report Option

    Select a Report Option to produce a report that is used for balancing and to complete the summary reports required by Revenu Quebec.

    Releve Code

    Select whether this an original, amended, or canceled slip.

    Print Slip #

    Select whether to print the slip number.

    Print XML Seq Number on Slips

    Select 2-Yes to print the employee's XML Slip Number (present on PR11.4) on the RL-1/RL-2 slip (and CSV record). In order for this feature to pull the accurate XML slip number, the PR244 must be run before running the PR243 job. In addition, on the FINAL run of the PR244 job (either Original or Amended), the Update Employee slip field must be set to 2-Yes to correctly store the XML Slip Number to PR11.4 for use later by PR243.

    Assigned Slip Number

    Specify the slip number assigned to employer by the Ministere du Revenu. It is an 8 digit number, the 9th digit (check digit) is calculated through the program logic. Each RL-1 and RL-2 slip must have a unique number.

    Update Employee Slip

    Select 2-Yes on the FINAL run of the PR243 job (either Original or Amended) used to create the employee RL-1 or RL-2 slips for distribution. The employee's slip number is stored to PR11.4 for future use in creating amended or canceled RL-1/RL-2 slips.

    Update Employee Slip = 2 (Yes) will store off up to 5 RL-1 slip numbers per employee/Quebec Enterprise Number Group and 5 RL-2 slip numbers per employee/Source of Income/Quebec Enterprise Number Group.

  6. On the Output File tab, specify this information:

    File Name

    Specify a CSV file name. The slip information is saved to a file that is used for printing employee slips using third-party forms software.

    If you specify a path name in this field, then the file is saved in that directory. If you only specify a file name, then the file is saved to $LAWDIR/print/username/jobname/stepnbr/, Jobname must be lower case.

  7. Submit the report to print RL-1 and RL-2 slips.

  8. Transfer the information provided in the summary report to the appropriate government form for submission.
