2023 TD1 tax forms

by

2023 TD1 tax forms will not be available until late January 2023 due to the Canadian Revenue Agency’s (CRA) delayed release of the 2023 TD1 form.

As a temporary solution, UVic will be setting every employee’s basic exemption to:

  • $13,521 for federal tax, and
  • $11,981 for BC provincial tax.

 

How does this affect your personal taxes?

If you do not normally complete an annual TD1 or if you normally just claim the basic amount, then there will be no effect on your taxes.

If you normally complete a TD1 to:

  • Increase or decrease your exemption,
  • declare another employer,
  • declare other amounts, or
  • add additional taxes;

your initial 1-2 payrolls will not have your personalized tax deductions (deducted at source). This will be resolved when you file your taxes in 2024.

 

What should you do next?

Please check this page or www.uvic.ca/TD1 on the week of Jan 23rd.

If you have any additional questions, please contact the payroll office.

Hours Worked Between Christmas & New Years

by

Employees Scheduled To Work On A Stat Holiday:

For this purpose, the Stat Holidays are December 26 & 27 as well as January 2 (the days that we consider “lieu days” are also considered Stat Holidays for the purpose of pay):

  • Employees who work on these days will be paid a regular days pay (per their normal pay deposit and which will be doubled either in pay or TOIL per the employee’s choice).

 

IF Employees Are Scheduled To Work During The Closure Period:

For this purpose, the Closure period days are December 28, 29, & 30:

  • Employees will receive their regular days pay PLUS additional vacation entitlements for 2023 (based on a minimum of 4 hours worked and up to a maximum of 3 full days).  For example, an employee is scheduled to come to work for 2 hrs Dec 29 & 7.5 hrs on Dec 30, that employee would receive 1.5 extra vacation days in their 2023 entitlement (the 2 hours is rounded up to a ½ day).

 

IF Employees Receives A Call-Out During The Closure Period:

For this purpose, regular call out procedures apply.  Please note that employees will also receive their normal day’s pay in addition to the doubled Call-Out hours.

 

Mechanical Shift Engineers

As with past years, as these gents work straight through the closure, they will automatically receive 3 additional days’ vacation for the closure period and no cards are required for them.

 

Here is a link to the guidelines.

 

Thanks again for all your understanding and cooperation in these matters.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your Executives, Shop Stewards, or Julie Ellerton.
