FAQ: 1999 payroll T4s

All Revenue Canada information slips (T4, T4A, T4NRZ, etc.) from Human Resources were sent out the week of Jan. 31, 2000. All employees who received a cheque on the Jan. 27 payday should have had their T4 sent to the same location as their cheque stub. The slips were printed by Canada Post's electronic mail service, which also mailed them to employees who no longer work here. Slips for current employees were returned to us for distribution through our own internal mail system.

For your information, below are some frequently asked questions:

1. What is the amount shown in Box 40?

The amount in Box 40 is the amount of taxable benefits provided by the employer - for example, the employer cost of providing life insurance. This costs is $1.90 per pay period, so if you were on the payroll for 26 pay periods, $49.40 will show in this box. If you are a member of a group RRSP, employer contributions are also shown in Box 40 as a taxable benefit.

2. Why is Box 14, Employment Income, different from my gross salary?

Box 14 includes you employment income plus any taxable benefits. For example, if your salary is $28,000 and you also had $49.40 in Box 40, your total employment income in Box 14 is $28,049.40.

3. Why is Box 24, EI Insurable Earnings, different from Box 14, Employment Income?

In most cases the difference is due to taxable benefits (Box 40) being added to the amount in Box 14, which is not EI insurable. For example, the $49.40 for group insurance not insurable, so if Box 40 shows $49.40, Box 24 should be $49.40 less than Box 14. Also note the maximum EI insurable earnings is $39,000.

4. Why did I get two T4s?

MUN has two accounts with Revenue Canada: one for employees who are in the benefit plans and another for those who are not. T4s must be produced separately for each account. If you were a contractual employee not in the benefits plan and then moved to a permanent position in the benefits plan, you will get two T4s.

5. What is the pension adjustment in Box 52?

If you are a member of the MUN pension plan, the amount reported in this box represents the value of the pension benefit you earned in 1999.
