HUMI: Uploading your payroll register

Reviewing your benefits

Before processing your payroll, you should download the template from the Humi platform to ensure everything was updated correctly. Head to your TFSA or RRSP benefit and click ‘Download CSV Template’ in the top right corner.

This file should match the payroll instructions file that you just uploaded. 

Submitting your payroll report

After each payroll cycle, you should export a benefits report and upload it in the 'Pay Contributions' tab of your Employer Dashboard. To do this, head to 'Reporting' > 'Payroll' > 'Benefits Report' in the Humi platform.

Before you export the file, make sure the filter is set to ‘Annual’. This will ensure consistency with our system.

Completing your update

You'll now upload the benefits report in the 'Pay Contributions' tab of the Employer Dashboard:

  1. Review the on-screen summary of total contributions, the split between employee and employer contributions, and the pay period before uploading the file.
  2. Click the “Submit” button in the bottom right corner of the screen. Make sure you see the Success message before you log out.

Once your payroll register is uploaded, instructions go to Canadian Western Trust to automatically withdraw funds from your account for contributions and fees owing to Common Wealth.

Note: This step is completed every payroll cycle. If there have been no changes since your last payroll upload, you can download your last submitted file, update the date columns to reflect the correct pay period, and upload that file.
