Since the VRSP is relatively new, here is an overview to help you make sense of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"chiffre\">\r\n    <span class=\"chiffre\">01<\/span>\r\n    <span class=\"titre\">Are employers obligated to implement a VRSP? <\/span>\r\n    <p>Businesses with 5 or more employees that do not already offer a group retirement savings plan will eventually have to implement a VRSP. However, the deadlines vary according to the number of employees.<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"tableau_rver text-center mb20\">\r\n    \t<div class=\"col-xs-6 pr0 pl0\">\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col1\">\r\n\t    \t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/acomba\/images\/ico_nbr_employe.png\">\r\n\t    \t\t<h3>Number of employees<\/h3>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col2\">\r\n\t    \t\t<p>20 or more employees<\/p>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col3\">\r\n\t    \t\t<p>10 to 19 employees<\/p>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col4\">\r\n\t    \t\t<p>5 to 9 employees<\/p>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    <\/div>\r\n\t    <div class=\"col-xs-6 pl0 pr0\">\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col1\">\r\n\t    \t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pt15\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/acomba\/images\/ico_date_butoir.png\">\r\n\t    \t\t<h3>Deadline<\/h3>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col2\">\r\n\t    \t\t<p>December 31, 2016<\/p>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col3\">\r\n\t    \t\t<p>December 31, 2017<\/p>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    \t<div class=\"col col4\">\r\n\t    \t\t<p>Date to be determined <br>(January 1, 2018 at the earliest)<\/p>\r\n\t    \t<\/div>\r\n\t    <\/div>\r\n\t    <div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <p>Even if your business has a grace period, it is probably to your benefit to implement a VRSP sooner rather than later.

The first step is to choose an administrator from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rrq.gouv.qc.ca\/fr\/retraite\/rver\/rver_enregistres\/Pages\/RVER_enregistres.aspx\">the list of VRSPs registered with Retraite Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n    <p>Next, you must notify your employees in writing of the effective date of the plan. After a certain period, you can sign a contract with the administrator and register in the plan your employees who are age 18 and over who have worked for you for at least one year. Employees have the right to renounce enrolment in the plan.<\/p>\r\n    <p>For more details on the steps to take and deadlines to respect, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rrq.gouv.qc.ca\/SiteCollectionDocuments\/www.rrq.gouv.qc\/Francais\/publications\/rver\/mettre-en-place-rver.pdf\">refer to the document prepared by Retraite Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h3>Get the right tools to manage the VRSP<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Implementing and managing the VRSP requires certain adaptations, particularly in the way payroll is processed. To avoid manual input errors and other pitfalls, using payroll software configured to process the VRSP can be a major asset. <\/p>\r\n<p>To learn more about VRSPs, how to implement them and how to manage them effectively with Acomba, refer to our online training sessions. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"mb0 mt40\"><a class=\"btn btn-default btnbleu large deuxLignes text-inherit center-block\" href=\"\/en\/support\/training-centre\/acomba+managing-voluntary-retirement-savings-plans-using-acomba\">Consult the <br>training session<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Voluntary Retirement Savings Plan, or VRSP, is a type of retirement plan that favours savings by giving all workers in Quebec access to a simple and affordable plan.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-contractors-tips"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8470"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11218,"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8470\/revisions\/11218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.acomba.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
