Canadian Payroll Compliance Legislation Practice Exam

Quebec relies on a payroll-based health contribution that is shared by both employers and employees. This health contribution goes to the Health Services Fund to finance Quebec’s health services, and it is collected through payroll deductions from employees and corresponding employer contributions. That approach—funding health care through a tax on both employer and employee—distinguishes Quebec from the other provinces listed, which fund health care primarily through general tax revenues (Ontario and Manitoba) or, in Alberta’s case, do not currently impose a payroll health premium.
