Set Up Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) for Your Company

The instructions for setting up QPIP depend on your company's situation. Select the scenario below that applies to your company:

  1. Add these accounts to your company's records:

    2. 2212 QPIP Payable

    5425 QPIP Expense

  2. Link the accounts to the QPIP Payables and Expenses boxes.
  3. Set up Ministere du Revenu du Quebec as the remittance vendor for remitting QPIP.
  4. Check the settings on Taxes tab for all of your Quebec employee records to ensure that the Deduct QPIP option is turned on. In most cases, if an employee has EI deducted from their paycheque, QPIP should be deducted as well.

Note: If you have payroll expense groups set up, you need to link the QPIP Expense account to the QPIP line on the Linked Accounts Taxes tab. (Sage 50 Premium Accounting)

If you are in historical mode, make sure that you enter employee QPIP information in the appropriate historical boxes on the Taxes and T4 and RL-1 Reporting tabs in the employee record.

  1. Set up Ministere du Revenu du Quebec as the remittance vendor for remitting QPIP. There is no need to set up accounts to track QPIP Payable and QPIP Expense if you had selected Quebec when you were creating a new company. The accounts would have been automatically created for you.
  2. Check the settings on Taxes tab for all of your Quebec employee records to ensure that the Deduct QPIP option is turned on. In most cases, if an employee has EI deducted from their paycheque, QPIP should be deducted as well.
