Built for Canada

Everything Canadian payroll should be — nothing it shouldn't.

From source deductions to year-end filings, every workflow is designed around the way Canadian businesses actually run payroll.

CRA filings, automated

Source deductions, T4s, T4As and ROEs are calculated, e-filed and reconciled for you — on time, every time.

Multi-province tax engine

Pay staff across supported provinces with accurate CPP, EI, WSIB and provincial tax calculations.

Direct deposit in 2 days

Connect any Canadian bank. EFT deposits clear in one to two business days — no more cheque runs or bank portals.

Employees' self-serve portal

Staff view pay stubs, update banking, and download T4s from the app.

Benefits & RRSP matching

Sync with Canada Life, Manulife, Sun Life and Wealthsimple Work. Deduct and remit contributions automatically.

Books in sync

Two-way integrations with QuickBooks, Xero and Sage — journal entries post the moment payroll is approved.

How it works

From onboarding to year-end, on autopilot.

Replace your spreadsheets, bank portals and CRA logins with one calm, confident workflow.

  1. Step 01

    Import your team in minutes

    Upload a CSV, connect your HRIS, or migrate from Wagepoint, Ceridian, ADP or Payworks. We clean, validate and map every field — TD1s included.

  2. Step 02

    Run payroll in three clicks

    Review hours, approve the run and we handle the rest: net pay, source deductions, CPP, EI, WSIB, and the EFT file to your bank.

  3. Step 03

    Year-end that just works

    T4s, T4As and ROEs generate automatically. Employees download tax forms from their portal.

Loved from coast to coast

Teams switching to Polar don't look back.

"We grew from 6 to 42 employees across three provinces in a year. Polar scaled with us without a single missed remittance. Support knows Canadian payroll inside out."

"Our old provider charged us every time we issued an ROE. Polar does it in a click, files it electronically, and our team can pull their own T4s. Night and day."
