Helping PEI families make the early years count!

As you know, an email regarding contributions and T4 Pension Adjustments was sent to each centre participating in the program prior to Christmas. We recognize that this is a timely opportunity to provide additional clarity and support regarding T4 Pension Adjustments. To further support centres, we would like to invite you to an information and discussion session with Lambe and Associates for directors and payroll administrators. The purpose of this meeting will be to: Review the importance of timely pension contributions Clarify the requirement to complete the Pension Adjustment field on T4s Discuss common challenges or issues centres may be experiencing Identify ways we can provide additional guidance or support When: February 3rd, 9:30-11:00 - Virtual by Zoom   We hope to see you and your payroll administrators there!
