PAO 5-1

Section: ACCOUNTING AND REMITTANCE
Subsection: CROWN CORPORATIONS

  OUTLINE
  Procedures for charging Crown Corporations with the Employer's Share (ER) of the personnel benefits plans and recovering the cost of payroll (employee's gross pay) functions performed by Department 079 on behalf of the Crown.
  CROWNS--The following is a list of the Crowns the PAO is responsible for and whether the Crowns' funds are paid from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) or Commercial Banks.
 
CROWN TITLE PAY OFFICE FUND
PAA PILOTAGE AUTHORITY-ATLANTIC HALIFAX BANK
PAL PILOTAGE AUTHORITY-LAURENTIAN MTL BANK

ICA FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY ALL CRF
NBC NATIONAL BATTLEFIELDS COMMISSION QUEBEC CRF

 

    CROWN CORPS--FUNDS IN CRF
   

For Crowns with their banks in the CRF, the Employer's Share (ER) is charged by Interdepartmental Settlement (IS).

  INTERDEPARTMENTAL SETTLEMENT (IS)
 

A Creditor Initiated IS will be used to charge the Crown corporations their employers share according to the statement of account prepared.

  CROWN CORPS--FUNDS IN BANKS
 

For Crowns that maintain their bank accounts in commercial banks and are separate from the CRF accounts, an advanced deposit to a Department 079 suspense account is required before payments are made on their behalf. The suspense account, having been established on the basis of estimated expenditure for salary gross and Employer's Share initially, is reimbursed by the amount of actual expenditure each pay period.

  METHOD--Payments are charged to separate General Ledger (GL) accounts in the Payroll system general Ledger (PSGL) and recovered from the Crown by a cheque drawn on their commercial bank. The Department 079 Trial Balance will report any account balances at month end as accounts receivable and payable. A source 051 General Journal Voucher (GJV) is created on the Common Departmental Financial System (CDFS) to charge the separate GL accounts in the PSGL with the total amount of the Corporations share of the premium and the Department 079 accounts are credited accordingly.
  STATEMENTS--These Crowns are to be provided with a statement, as per Appendix "A", to advise of the amount owing the separate GL accounts in the PSGL, broken down by the different types of expenditures for salaries and Employer Share of premiums on a monthly basis.
  CALCULATING GOVERNMENT SHARE
 

Each Crown pays a different percentage for personnel benefit plans, based on negotiations with the Plan Administrators.
