Creating a Quebec pay stub
Quebec payroll is different from the rest of Canada: the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) replaces CPP, the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) has its own premium, EI is charged at a lower rate, and Quebec income tax is withheld for Revenu Québec rather than the CRA. Federal tax is then reduced by the 16.5% Quebec abatement. The generator below starts with Quebec selected and handles all of this.
It is built for small businesses, families paying a nanny or caregiver, and anyone paying staff in Quebec. Hours, rates and overtime print on the stub, and saved details make next pay period's stub quick.

Does Quebec require pay stubs?
Yes. With every pay, the employer must give the employee a pay slip with enough detail to check how the wages and deductions were worked out.
Law: Act respecting labour standards, section 46
Paper or electronic: The Act doesn't set a form, so the pay slip can be on paper or electronic. It has to be given to the employee, though: according to the CNESST, simply making it available isn't enough.
What a Quebec pay slip must show
- The employer's name
- The employee's name
- The employee's job title
- The date of payment and the work period it covers
- The hours paid at the regular rate
- Overtime hours paid or replaced by time off, with the premium that applies
- The nature and amount of any bonuses, allowances, indemnities or commissions
- The wage rate
- Gross wages
- The nature and amount of each deduction
- Net wages
- Tips declared by the employee or allocated by the employer, where there are any
The generator also prints the employer and employee names, the pay date, hours where pay is hourly, and year-to-date totals if you include them. The job title has no field of its own yet, so add it after the employee's name (for example "Marie Tremblay, cook"). Tips can go on an earnings line; overtime taken as time off has no field yet.
Quebec payroll deductions in 2026
| Line on the stub | 2026 rule |
|---|---|
| QPP | 6.3% of earnings above $3,500 a year, up to $74,600 (5.3% base plus 1% first additional). Second additional QPP (QPP2): 4% of earnings between $74,600 and $85,000. |
| EI | 1.30% of insurable earnings, up to $68,900 a year. Lower than elsewhere in Canada because Quebec runs its own parental insurance. |
| QPIP | 0.430% of earnings up to $103,000 a year (Quebec Parental Insurance Plan). |
| Federal income tax | 14% to 33% on the 2026 federal brackets, after the basic personal amount, the Canada employment amount and credits for QPP, EI and QPIP, then reduced by the 16.5% Quebec abatement. |
| Quebec income tax | 14% up to $54,345, 19% up to $108,680, 24% up to $132,245 and 25.75% above, after the $18,952 Quebec basic personal amount (credited at 14%) and the deduction for workers: 6% of employment income, up to $1,450. |
Sample Quebec pay stub
$60,000 a year, paid bi-weekly (26 pay periods), pay date 30 October 2026
| Gross pay | $2,307.69 |
| Federal income tax | −$170.28 |
| Quebec income tax | −$217.18 |
| QPP contribution | −$136.90 |
| EI premium | −$30.00 |
| QPIP premium | −$9.92 |
| Net pay | $1,743.41 |
Worked out by this generator with the basic personal amounts only and no other deductions. Revenu Québec's own tables include smaller credits the generator doesn't model, so its Quebec tax can differ by a few dollars; any line can be typed over in the form. The same pay nets $1,820.75 in Ontario.

Deductions and paying wages in Quebec
An employer can deduct from wages only:
- Deductions required by a law, a regulation, a court order, a collective agreement, a decree or a mandatory supplemental pension plan, such as income tax, QPP, EI and QPIP
- Deductions the employee has agreed to in writing for a specific purpose stated in that writing. The employee can withdraw that consent at any time, except for membership in a group insurance plan
Not allowed:
- A uniform the employer requires, for an employee paid the minimum wage: it must be provided free
Wages must be paid at regular intervals of no more than 16 days (one month for managers and executives), in cash in a sealed envelope, by cheque or by bank transfer. A cheque that can't be cashed within two working days doesn't count as payment.
Vacation pay: 4% of the gross wages earned in the reference year (1 May to 30 April unless the employer sets another), or 6% once the employee has 3 years of uninterrupted service and 3 weeks of vacation.
Records: Employers must keep a payroll register with each employee's pay details (Regulation respecting a registration system or the keeping of a register) and make it available to the CNESST.
Quebec minimum wage
$16.60 an hour from 1 May 2026 (up from $16.10). Employees who receive tips have a minimum of $13.30 an hour.
Quebec pay stub FAQ
Do employers in Quebec have to give pay stubs?
Yes. Section 46 of the Act respecting labour standards requires a pay slip with every pay, showing the employer and employee, the job title, the pay date and work period, regular and overtime hours, bonuses and allowances, the wage rate, gross wages, each deduction, net wages and any tips.
What is different about a Quebec pay stub?
Quebec employees pay QPP instead of CPP, a QPIP premium for parental insurance, and EI at a lower rate (1.30% instead of 1.63% in 2026). Quebec income tax is withheld for Revenu Québec, and federal tax is reduced by the 16.5% Quebec abatement. The generator shows each of these on its own line.
How much Quebec income tax comes off a paycheque in 2026?
Quebec tax is 14% on taxable income up to $54,345, then 19% up to $108,680, 24% up to $132,245 and 25.75% above. The basic personal amount of $18,952 and the deduction for workers (up to $1,450) reduce it. On $60,000 a year paid bi-weekly, the generator works out $217.18 of Quebec tax per pay.
Can a Quebec pay slip be electronic?
Yes. The Act doesn't require paper, but the employer has to actually give the pay slip to the employee, for example by email, rather than only making it available somewhere.
How often must Quebec employees be paid?
At regular intervals of no more than 16 days, or once a month for managers and executives.
