No Accurate payroll for a household employer requires current CPP, EI, and income tax calculations, CRA remittance rules, and T4 formats that change yearly. Getting these wrong creates legal exposure, so this needs payroll and tax-regulatory expertise, not just code.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a versioned tax and statutory-deduction engine that is reviewed each year against CRA rules and tables, plus a T4 and remittance-schedule generator and a secure pay-stub delivery flow. The hard parts are domain accuracy, ongoing compliance maintenance, and ideally a licensed payroll or accounting advisor signing off on the calculations. The UI and hour tracking are the easy part.
