Death

When an employee dies, you may pay a death benefit or other amounts such as salary or wages, overtime, or vacation pay to the deceased employee. For more information on payroll deductions, see Payments made after death and for general information on payments made on or after the death of an employee, see Death benefits.

Address the appropriate slips (T4/T4A) in the name of the beneficiary or "estate of" the deceased person.
