Annual CCQ Wage and Social Benefits Rates Changes

 

Varennes, April 2019

In compliance with the collective agreements in effect for the four sectors, the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) recently announced rate changes on its website. These changes will have to be included in May 2019’s monthly report, which starts April 28, 2019.

The rates update, made available last Thursday, must be done outside business hours or over the weekend. The required steps are listed in the How-To document Updating CCQ-Related Data.

Details on the various rate modifications are available by clicking the links below:

Changes also need to be made to Indemnities related to security equipment. Unlike wage rates and contributions, these indemnities cannot be automatically updated in maestro*. A premium must first be created in the Define Earning/Deduction Codes option, after which the premium needs to be linked to the corresponding trades in the Define Trades option.

For additional information on the required changes to maestro*, contact Maestro’s Software Support team by phone at 1-877-833-1897 or by email at support@maestro.ca.

 

We would like to remind users that is is their responsibility to validate the appropriate rates and stay current on any subsequent change. It is therefore recommended to verify the data entered in maestro*. Information included in this document is provided for information purposes only.
