Record of employment (ROE) Web user guide

From: Employment and Social Development Canada

On this page

Note:

As the record of employment (ROE) Web system is enhanced, some of the screens may change from the way they look in this guide.

Introduction

There may be instances where you need to complete a ROE on the screen instead of uploading a payroll extract file from your payroll software. You can do that on ROE Web by using an electronic version of the paper form. As with the ROE Payroll Extract method, this version can be submitted electronically.

When you submit an ROE via ROE Payroll Extract and make corrections on the online form, those corrections will not be made in your payroll software automatically. This could lead to inconsistent information. When changes are required, we recommend to make changes in your payroll software before submitting the ROE.

This user guide does not explain how to fill out a ROE form. For that information, please refer to the How to Complete an ROE link in the Help and Support menu of the ROE Web application.

Section 1 - ROE Web main page

From the organization page select the record of employment - Main Page link. Note that ROE Web Important Notices are posted above the Quick Links when applicable.

Figure 1: ROE Web main page
Figure 1: ROE web main page
Figure 1 - Text version: ROE web main page

The ROE Web Main Page includes the Quick Links as well as the "I want to…" ROE option menu on the left. The menu at the top of the screen offers My Organization, Record of Employment and Help and Support.

1.1 Top menu

This menu includes the following options:

1.2 Side menu – I want to… links

This menu includes the following options:

1.3 Quick links

Three Quick Links options are available from the ROE Web Main Page:

Figure 2: Quick links
Figure 2: Quick links
Figure 2 - Text version: Quick links

There are three quick links on the ROE Web Main Page: I want to create a new ROE, I want to upload a Payroll Extract file and I want to create an ROE using the ROE Web Assistant.

Section 2 - Privacy notice statement and security

2.1 Personal Information Collection Statement

ROE Web users are presented with the Personal Information Collection Statement (PICS) when their ROE Web user profile is created. The PICS can be consulted anytime while using ROE Web. The PICS is displayed at the top of each ROE Web page on which personal information is collected from users.

Choosing the PICS link will display the PICS for the ROE Web application.

2.2 ROE Web session

For security reasons, an ROE-Web session can only stay inactive for a maximum of 18 minutes. When there are two minutes remaining in the session, an alert will pop up asking the user to choose the OK button to continue working in ROE-Web. If the user chooses the Cancel button or OK after the 2 minutes has expired, the user will have to log back into the application.

Section 3 - Creating a new ROE

3.1 Create an individual ROE

To create an individual ROE select the quick link I want to create a new ROE from the ROE Web Main Page, the Create a new ROE (Online Form) or Use the ROE Web Assistant from the left hand side menu.

3.1.1 ROE Web assistant

The ROE Web Assistant is a guided completion process available for the Regular ROEs. It contains the same rules and validations as the ROE Web Online Form. It is also available in the ROE Web Demo. This function is not available for the Self-Employed Fisher ROE.

It is not mandatory to use the ROE Web Assistant if you are already using the online form or the Payroll Extract file to submit your ROE s electronically. The Assistant was designed to help users who are not familiar with ROE Web to start issuing their ROEs electronically.

The ROE Web Assistant contains enhanced help and automated features and uses plain language that moves away from the ROE terminology. You will notice that instead of using the ROE block numbers, the ROE Web Assistant uses the names of the fields.

3.2 Add new ROE – Step 1

When required, ROE Web will present you with step 1, where you will be asked to choose the business for which you want to issue the ROE, the Folder where you want to file this ROE and the ROE type.

You can select the business by either choosing a Business Number (BN) or a Business Name from the list provided. The list is sorted by Business Number as a default. To search by Business Name, simply click on the Select by Business Name option.

Figure 3: Add new ROE – Step 1
Figure 3: Add new ROE – step 1
Figure 3 - Text version: Add new ROE – step 1

The first step to adding a new ROE is to provide the Business Number, the Folder information and select the type of ROE to issue.

If available, an option must be selected from the Folder to Submit to drop down menu. When a folder is selected, issued ROE will be saved to it. You may choose the No Folder option or any other folder. The folder information does not appear on the ROE when viewed or printed.

Note:

Folders offer additional flexibility and security when it comes to storing ROE information. A user who does not have access to a folder will be unable to view or amend ROEs that are contained within it, even if they have access to the business number to which the ROE was submitted.

The Folder to Submit to option only appears when folders are created and used by the organization. Folders can be managed from the My Organization menu at the top left menu of the page.

The type of ROE to issue must also be selected from this page; Regular ROE or Self-Employed Fisher ROE. Please refer to section 4 of the guide for more information regarding the completion of an ROE for Self-Employed Fishers.

3.3 Add new ROE – Step 2

Step 2 will display the ROE form in its entirety. The first few questions on the form contain the basic company information, such as the Employer's Name, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Business Number, Employer Payroll Reference Number and Employer's Address. This information is pre-filled according to the data provided for your business when it was registered for ROE Web.

Figure 4: Add new ROE – Step 2
Figure 4: Add new ROE – Step 2
Figure 4 - Text version: Add new ROE – Step 2

Step 2 of the Add New ROE process in the ROE Web application. Users can fill out ROE information, including business information and the employer's payroll reference number.

3.3.1 More than one section or sub-company

If your organization has more than one section or sub-company, and each has a separate BN or name, you can include them all in your ROE Web profile. You can also easily change the business information while you are filling out an electronic ROE by going to the Address field (Block 4) and choosing the appropriate Address from the drop-down menu. You will notice that this will automatically change the Name and the CRA BN, based on the Address you have chosen. If the address you are looking for is not listed in the drop-down menu, you may also enter it directly in Block 4 of the ROE.

Figure 5: Block 4 – Employer's address
Figure 5: Block 4 – Employer's address
Figure 5 - Text version: Block 4 – Employer's address

In Block 4, employers have to provide their complete address

Note:

Entering an address directly in Block 4 of the ROE will not add this address to your business profile. To add an address to your business profile, select Manage Addresses under the My Organizations option located in the top left of the screen.

3.4 Employee's information

Enter the employee's full name and address in Block 9, their nine digit Social Insurance Number (SIN) in Block 8 and their occupation in block 13 (Optional).

3.6 Period of employment

In Blocks 10, 11 and 12, you must enter the information pertaining to the period of employment by completing the following fields:

You can enter the dates directly into the fields in the yyyy/mm/dd format or use the Calendar to choose the dates.

Note:

It is essential that you enter the dates in the right sequence. If the Last Day for Which Paid date (Block 11) is before the First Day Worked date in Block 10, an error message will be presented in Block 11. If the Final Pay Period Ending Date (Block 12) does not correspond to the Last Day for Which Paid (Block 11), or the Pay Period Type (Block 6), an error message will also be displayed to that effect.

In addition, the amount entered in Block 15A, Total Insurable Hours must not exceed the smallest of 8904 or (Last Day for Which Paid - First Day Worked +1) multiplied by 24. If the hours exceed the given limitation, an error message is presented.

3.7 Expected date of recall

Block 14 is not a mandatory field and asks if and when the employee is expected to be recalled back to work. Use the radio buttons provided to make your selection. If you choose the third option Y - Recall Date, you must specify the recall date in the Expected Date of Recall box.

Remember that other fields can be affected by the information you have entered in the Dates fields, even if the dates were entered correctly.

3.8 Total insurable earnings

You do not have to complete Block 15B. This field will be automatically completed once you have answered all the questions related to earnings paid or due to the employee.

Employers have to complete Block 15A – Total Insurable Hours. Block 15B is automatically calculated by ROE Web.

3.9 Insurable earnings by pay period

In Block 15C, Insurable Earnings by Pay Period, ROE Web will only present the Pay Periods that you have to complete, based on the information you have provided in Blocks 6, 10, 11 and 12.

Input the gross amount for Pay Period 1, which is the latest Pay Period that includes the Last Day for Which Paid indicated in Block 11, and either complete the other pay periods manually or input a repeating amount in the Repeat same amount in all pay periods box and choose the Repeat button. ROE Web will automatically populate the necessary Pay Period fields for the period of employment, beginning at Pay Period 2. You may manually change any amount within any pay period directly in the appropriate field if you need to make adjustments.

Note:

You will notice that the total in Block 15B is now automatically updated when values are entered in the Pay Periods of Block 15C.

Note:

The serial number assigned to an ROE confirms that ROE has been submitted to Service Canada.

9.2 Search draft ROEs screen

Figure 31: Search draft ROEs page
Figure 31: Search draft ROEs page
Figure 31 - Text version: Search draft ROEs page

The Search Draft ROEs page allows users to search for ROEs that were saved in Drafts.

9.2.1 Folder name

Users will only see the Folder Name criterion if they have access to at least one folder in their user profile. Only those users who have access to at least one folder will be able to view, open and search for ROEs in that folder.

An ROE within a folder will come up in search results only if the user has access to it. If a user has the authority to manage folders, but does not have access to a specific folder, the user will be able to create, delete and modify folders but will not see the content of the specific folder as the user does not have access to.

If an ROE is saved under a BN the user has access to but in a folder the user does not have access to, the user will not see the ROE when performing a search.

Once you have provided the search criteria, choose the Search button at the bottom of the screen. ROE Web will search the database and will display a list of all the ROEs that meet the criteria you entered to perform your search.

9.3 Draft search results screen

The Draft Search Results screen will display all the Draft ROEs that meet the criteria entered to perform your search. The following information on the ROEs is displayed:

As indicated on the Move to Folder screen, in order to move an ROE, you must have access to the current Folder, the destination Folder as well as Write Access to the BN. Also, you cannot move ROEs that were submitted for a business to which you do not have access. Those ROEs will not be moved and will remain in their current folders.

Select the Originating Folder as well as the Destination folder and choose the Move to Folder button to move the ROEs.

9.3.2 Printing ROEs

You can print ROEs whether they have a serial number or not.

You may choose individual ROEs or choose all ROEs by placing a checkmark in the first column on the left of the table. Choose all the ROEs you wish to print from the Search Results screen and choose Print button. You now have the ability to select ROEs from different pages and you can also select more than 50 ROEs to print at a time.

As indicated in Section 4 above, if you have just issued a single ROE and you want to print it right away, you do not have to search for the ROE as described in this section. You can simply choose the Create Report / Print ROEs hyperlink which allows you to download and print the ROE.

9.4 Search issued ROEs screen

The following search criteria are available on the Search Issued ROEs screen:

Note:

For each search criteria, excluding by SIN and Date Issued, you have three options (drop down menu) when using a specific search criteria: Exact, Begins With, and Ends With.

If you are using any criteria (or a combination of criteria) other than the Serial Number, enter your criteria in the appropriate field (s) and choose the Search button at the bottom of the screen.

Tip:

To obtain optimal results, search only by SIN or Serial Number. If those criteria are not available, we recommend that you limit your criteria.

9.4.2 Moving ROEs

Please refer to Section 8.3.2 above for information on how to move ROEs from one folder to the other.

9.4.3 Importing ROEs

The Import feature helps users amend any ROE they have already submitted if the payroll software they use enables them to do so. With the Import feature, users can see the details of any ROE(s) they've submitted, whether it was issued a serial number or saved as a draft. Those that have a serial number can be reviewed so the user can go back in the software and make the necessary amendments. Choose all the ROEs you wish to import from the Search Results screen and choose the Import button. The File Download window will appear. Select Open to view the ROEs in a PDF format. You may also select Save the ROEs on your computer or Cancel the report.

Once you've opened the link, the XML file of the ROE will appear.

This example shows an ROE that have been issued, so the Issued Count equals "1". It also shows eight pieces of information from the ROE, including: Serial Number, Date Issued, Business Number, SIN, First Day Worked, Last Day for Which Paid, Final Pay Period End Date and Total Insurable Earnings.

How this information is used depends on if the type of payroll software you use allows you to amend uploaded ROEs via the ROE Payroll Extract function.

Note:

Even though Version 2.0 of the Payroll Extract file is used, the Import file still shows Version 1.0 of the XML. This will be corrected in a future release of ROE Web. This function is currently not available to import ROEs for Self-Employed Fishers.

Section 10 - How to amend a ROE

To amend an existing ROE, choose the Amend button for the appropriate ROE on the Issued Search Result(s) screen. Only ROEs for which a serial number was assigned can be amended. You may also use the Amend an ROE option available in the left hand-side menu which will direct you to the Search ROE Issued page where you can search for the ROE you wish to amend.

The Issued Search Result(s) screen displays the issued ROEs that met your search criteria. You can select an ROE from the search results to print or amend it. This screen also contains options to Select All, Clear Selection, Import, Move to Folder and Print.

The ROE form for the chosen ROE will be displayed.

After making the necessary modifications to the ROE, choose the Submit or Save as Draft button as required. Remember that you must attest to the trueness of the data and confirm your identity before you can submit an ROE.

The Serial number of the original ROE has moved to Block 2, Serial Number of ROE Amended or Replaced and a new SN has been assigned to the amended ROE (Block 1).

Note:

If employers need to amend ROEs submitted in formats that have been decommissioned, they will have to do so using the 53-week Online Form, the 53-Week ROE Web Assistant or Version 2.0 of the Payroll Extract file. This means that employers will have to provide the equivalent of 53 weeks of pay period information in Block 15C of the ROE.

ROE Web now allows users to amend ROEs issued in the last 12 years.

Section 11 - How to delete an issued ROE

11.1 Introduction

ROE Web now provides users with the ability to delete ROEs meeting the following criteria:

11.2 Search for a ROE to delete page

In order to delete an ROE, select the Delete an Issued ROE option from the left-hand side menu. The Search for an ROE to Delete page will appear.

Figure 39: Search for an ROE to delete page
Figure 39: Search for an ROE to delete page
Figure 39 - Text version: Search for an ROE to delete page

The Search for an ROE to delete page allows users to input the Serial Number and the SIN of the ROE they wish to delete

Once the Serial Number and SIN of the ROE to delete is entered and the user has selected the Search button, ROE Web will present the ROE to the user if it meets all of the criteria outlined above.

The user can then review the ROE information to ensure that it really must be deleted. A reason must be selected from the drop down menu at the bottom of the page. The reasons available are:

If the user selects "Other", a reason must be entered in the text box provided to that effect.

Note:

Deleting an ROE can have serious consequences on EI claims. Therefore, if you need to modify information on the ROE, ensure that you are amending the ROE instead of deleting it.

11.3 Meeting the criteria for deleting a ROE

ROE Web will delete the ROE if it meets the criteria listed above. If the ROE does not meet one or more of the criteria listed above, the user will be presented with a message informing him that the ROE cannot be deleted and that they can contact the Employer Contact Centre (ECC) should they wish to obtain additional information.

Section 12 - Looking for newer versions of stored pages

When a Web page is viewed, data is cached in the Temporary Internet Files folder. This determines how Internet Explorer checks whether it has the latest version of a cached file when the user returns to a previously viewed page. If a user experiences problems printing an ROE or if old information is displayed while preparing an ROE, the user must look for newer versions of stored pages.

The procedure will depend on which browser version is used.

12.1 Internet Explorer 9 or higher
