yearend-checlist

As we find ourselves moving towards the end of 2015, there are dozens of tasks that need to be completed before year end. 

Here are a few ways that Telpay can help you scratch off items from your year-end checklist:

CRA
Did you know that your frequency to remit source deductions may change in the New Year, based on the dollar value of your payroll from the previous year?  You can view the CRA remittance thresholds and their due dates on the CRA website.

Employee Bonus Pay Outs
Send your employee bonuses electronically this year.  Follow our step by step instruction manual and make a convenient bonus deposit to your employees using our funds transfer feature.

Donations
Make your holiday donations with Telpay’s electronic payables feature.  Follow these steps to learn how you can set up and pay a charity electronically (and even receive a donation receipt) this holiday season.

Review your suppliers banking information
How many suppliers have you sent electronic payments to this year? It’s a good idea to plan ahead using our “notify your supplier” form to collect banking information for any new suppliers you plan to pay in 2016.

Make sure your account information is up to date
It is important that all your Telpay account information is up to date in the Telpay software.  Up to date information makes sure that you receive our service emails, invoices, and important product information.  We have summarized all the information that should be up to date, here.

Plan ahead
Are you considering making more electronic payments in 2016?  Resolve to make all your payments electronically in the new year.  Learn about the types of payments you can make with Telpay by joining a training webinar. Telpay’s training webinars cover a variety of payment topics, such as:  processing bill payments, government remittances including GST/HST, Workers Compensation,  payroll and payroll deductions, collection of rents,  international payments and payments from Canadian US$ Bank accounts.  Register for a webinar, today!

Eliminate Your Cheque Pet Peeves

Do you still write cheques for your business payments? Are you tired of dealing with the annoying cheque peeves and time-wasting hassles?

We would like you to meet Kathleen Campbell, Executive Director at Vancouver’s North Shore Tourism, a marketing organization specifically focusing on the North Shore, also known as the Playground of Vancouver. Kathleen recently streamlined her payment process by eliminating cheques from her business. Prior to signing up with Telpay, Kathleen was experiencing one of the most common cheque peeves, “the cheque is in the mail.” On numerous occasions, Kathleen experienced losing cheques in the mail which was tricky to explain to her suppliers, especially when it is such a cliché. As if that wasn’t enough, Kathleen also found it time consuming to drive around to get signatures for the cheques. All was not lost, with the help of her bookkeeper, Kathleen discovered how to eliminate these cheque peeves by processing all of her business payments electronically.

Thanks to Telpay, Kathleen now has more time to focus on promoting the cool attractions on the North Shore, like Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge or Lonsdale Market to name a few.  “Telpay is great for us, rather than running around getting different officers to sign our cheques, it is all done electronically and our vendors know when they are going to get paid. One less thing for me to do, I don’t have to run around, because that took a lot of my time.”

Check out the video on Vancouver’s North Shore Tourism to see how Telpay can help eliminate all of your cheque peeves.
