(Click each point to view more details)

eNETEmployer uses an Innovative interface that is similar to a spreadsheet. It allows you edit data in place, re-order columns, expand and collapse rows, and sort/filter data. There's no other product in the market that leverages the familiar approach of a spreadsheet (used by millions worldwide) and makes it available for a payroll program.

Thousands of Canadian businesses are already enjoying the customizable interface and flexible formatting options that eNETEmployer provides. If you've ever used a software tool and wished you could tailor it to suit your workflow, then the benefits of eNETEmployer will be immediate. Our customizing capabilities not only improve presentation and readability, but also make it much easier to use the data in external reports and presentations.

Yes, security should be at the top of any list with respect to not only payroll, but for all mission critical applications. In today's internet-accessible world, payroll and financial software must have security protocols built into them from the ground up - security cannot be an afterthought. Safety measures become increasingly important as more and more applications are accessed both through internal networks and externally via the World Wide Web. Any type of online functionality can open a vulnerable application to a wide variety of threats. Logging onto the secure eNETEmployer website using an authentic user name and password means that your sensitive information is encrypted and privately communicated.

CanPay's research and development program is driven by a combination of industry expertise and client feedback. Our company's philosophy of continuous improvement and value added features ensure that the software tools you purchase today will improve organically over time as new features and functionality are added. Our development team also relies on client feedback to broaden the reach of our software tools. We welcome feedback from hundreds of Payroll Partners across Canada and strive to be aware of changing trends in our industry.

The payroll industry is always on the lookout for innovative ways to make the payroll process easier. The tools of today may be feature-rich and appreciated by payroll professionals, but many practitioners are looking for less-complicated and more intuitive ways to perform the process. With eNETEmployer, our team employed the logical and intuitive approach of a spreadsheet to simplify the payroll cycle. Why stick with the status quo when there are new and better ways to get the job done?

The CanPay development team is focused on bringing eNETEmployer to the rest of Canada through additional multi-language options and enhanced mobile-device support. With a wide array of clients also using our desktop-based software tools, CanPay continues to improve and support the GrandMaster software line with regular updates and feature enhancements.

Our latest eNETEmployer addition includes a full-featured Applicant tracking System (ATS) system for recruiting employees. Simply post your job to our recruitment page along with its custom questionnaire, and then sit back as the system locates the best applicant for the job.

CanPay is known for its outstanding support and personalized, long term client relationships - some of our clients have been with us from the beginning back in 1985. This is a testament to the reliability of our software tools and to the dedicated service that we provide. Many businesses prefer our personalized approach where we assign an individual payroll representative to each account. Clients enjoy the assurance that their representative will be on hand if needed, and that they have someone available who is uniquely familiar with their payroll situation.

We wanted to make the process simpler for our clients after looking at the market and seeing that payroll pricing was all over the board. Some providers were posting pricing schemes based on flat rates combined with extra services (whether the service was used or not), while others applied setup fees for even the most basic of payrolls. So we made eNETEmployer pricing a straightforward $10.00 for each pay run and $1.30 for each employee - all with no setup fees. We provide other features as add-ons so that companies may choose the services they need, and not have to pay for features they don't use. Many clients appreciate the simplified pricing and the ease at which they can estimate future pay run costs.

There are a number of excellent resources available for anyone looking to get started in our industry. If you are launching a new business and need to setup payroll for your staff, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers a series of online resources that will walk you through the process from start to finish. This includes the first step of opening a payroll account, knowing how to calculate the payroll each period, and remitting the appropriate deductions to the CRA. Visit their Business - Payroll page at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/pyrll/menu-eng.html for more information.

If you are looking to join the industry as a payroll practitioner, The Canadian Payroll Association (CPA) is the source for the two levels of payroll certifications in Canada: the Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) and the Certified Payroll Manager (CPM). These programs prepare payroll practitioners to manage the compliance requirements of an organization's annual payroll cycle, deliver clear and reliable payroll information. The CPA works directly with colleges and universities across the country to facilitate each course. Visit the CPA website at https://www.payroll.ca/ for more information.
