The problem
Most payroll tools were built for the US market. Canada is an afterthought — and your employees pay the price.
CPP, QPP, EI, RL-1, ROE — US platforms treat these as bolt-ons. Compliance errors cost Canadian businesses hundreds of millions in CRA penalties every year.
Canada's best HR startup was acquired by Employment Hero (Australia) in January 2025. Engineering moved offshore. Canadian focus: gone. Their customers are looking for a new home.
Most "Canadian" payroll tools store your employees' SINs and salaries on US servers. Quebec Law 25 and PIPEDA are not optional — and neither is your data residency.
250,000+ Quebec SMBs need QPP, QPIP, Revenu Québec, and RL-1 support. Almost no platform offers it. An entire province left stranded.
The solution
PAYROLE is the payroll platform that actually works the way Canadian businesses operate — from Victoria to Saint John, in English and French.
Built around CRA's actual remittance schedule and PD7A format. Not adapted from W-2s — built from scratch for Canada. CPP, EI, income tax. Correct on first run.
QPP, QPIP, Revenu Québec, Relevé 1 slips — complete Quebec payroll. The only SMB platform with full QC coverage. Oui, on parle affaires.
Incorporated in Canada. Data hosted in AWS ca-central-1 (Montréal). Owned by Canadians. When you ask where your data is, the answer is: Canada.
Full English and French throughout — not a translation layer. Because a platform for Canadian businesses should actually speak both official languages.
Set up your company, add employees, and run your first payroll in under 30 minutes. Forced MFA enrollment, OIDC single sign-on, and direct deposit via Interac EFT. Secure from day one.
A dedicated portal for CPAs and bookkeepers with designation verification, approval workflows, and a multi-client management dashboard. Revenue share for every client you bring.
Security & trust
Security isn't an afterthought — it's baked into every layer of PAYROLE. Here's how we protect your business.
Every SIN, salary, and bank account is encrypted at rest and in transit with AES-256-GCM — the same standard used by banks and governments.
All data hosted exclusively in AWS ca-central-1 (Montreal). Your employees' information never leaves Canadian soil. Period.
Built from the ground up for Canadian privacy law — federal PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25. Compliance isn't a checkbox, it's our architecture.
Multi-factor authentication is mandatory, not optional. Every user, every login, every time. No exceptions, no workarounds.
Row-level security ensures each company's data is cryptographically isolated. One tenant can never access another's records — enforced at the database layer.
Content Security Policy headers, CSRF protection, and intelligent rate limiting block common attack vectors before they reach your data.

Why now
Four forces converged to make this the most important moment in Canadian business software history.
January 2025
Employment Hero acquired Humi — Canada's most-loved HR startup. Their customers are actively looking for a new home. We're building it.
September 2025
The federal government introduced 5 procurement measures giving preference to Canadian-owned goods and services. Government contracts now require Canadian SaaS.
2025 onwards
Data residency is now a legal requirement in Quebec, not a preference. Penalties up to $25M CAD. "Canadian data stays in Canada" is now a hard requirement.
2025 · ongoing
US–Canada trade tensions made Canadian organizations rethink every US-hosted software subscription. "Made in Canada" is now a feature — and a differentiator.
