Trend Projection
This is a simple linear trend extrapolation based on your own historical data — not a seasonal or machine-learning forecast. It draws a straight line through recent periods and extends it forward. With only a handful of periods of real data, treat this as a rough directional signal, not a number to plan around. Accuracy improves substantially once you have 12+ months of real history — genuine seasonal forecasting (accounting for things like predictable slow/busy months) would be a reasonable upgrade at that point, but isn't meaningful with the data volume most new accounts will have.

Annual Tax Filing
Organizes your figures for filing — does not calculate your return or file with CRA
This pulls together numbers already in GISTpayIQ (payroll, revenue, expenses) plus whatever you add manually, and tracks your filing checklist and status. The actual tax calculation and CRA submission still happen through a NETFILE-certified product (like a professional tax preparer, or software such as TurboTax/UFile/Wealthsimple Tax) — this is prep and organization, not tax software.

Alert Thresholds
New Brunswick and Ontario both require a minimum of 6% vacation pay after 5 years of service — this is a legal floor, not a business choice. You can set this lower than 5 only if your own company policy is more generous than the law requires (e.g. 6% starting at 3 years). Never set it above 5 — that would delay flagging employees who are already legally entitled.
No legal requirement here — purely operational. A reasonable default is roughly one full pay cycle: 7 for weekly payroll, 14 for bi-weekly, ~21 for semi-monthly, ~30 for monthly. Lower catches gaps sooner but nags more; higher is quieter but slower to notice a missed timesheet.
Danger Zone
Wipe every committed pay run for every employee — CPP, CPP2, EI, tax, and vacation YTD totals all reset to zero. Employee records, TD1 claims and timesheets are kept. This cannot be undone.
