PaymentEvolution has partnered with CloudTax to launch Chequer Tax, a free, CRA-certified tax filing service for employees paid through PayEvo. Accessible directly from the Chequer portal, it offers secure, NETFILE-approved filing with no hidden costs. This partnership helps businesses support employee financial wellness, reduce tax-season stress, and provide added value, while keeping all tax data private and secure.

The Offboarding Assistant, launched in June 2023, is Canada’s first digital tool that simplifies employee terminations by translating complex provincial labour laws into clear, automated calculations. Developed by Carleton University researchers Annabelle Sauve and Katie Van Luven with Dr. Raj Singh’s lab, the assistant uses a dialogue-based approach to ensure compliance while keeping the user experience simple. After navigating unclear legislation and technical hurdles, the team created an intuitive solution that helps small businesses avoid costly errors and remain compliant — a unique innovation in Canada’s HR tech space.

Staying compliant with employment standards is overwhelming for small businesses, but non-compliance is costly. That’s why we created the Offboarding Assistant – a first-of-its-kind digital tool built in Canada to simplify termination pay compliance. Using machine learning, it interprets provincial labour laws, asks only the necessary questions, and calculates obligations for severance, vacation, and holiday pay. With a built-in “stay out of jail” (SOOJ) approach and detailed PDF reports, businesses can save time, avoid penalties, and protect both employers and employees.
