What to check before moving off Toptal
Payroll and HR systems are unforgiving. If you are comparing Canadian replacements for Toptal, make sure the boring back-office details work before you announce a cutover.
- Export employee records, earnings history, deductions, balances, and compliance documents before migration.
- Check Canadian payroll support for T4s, ROEs, provincial rules, benefits, and year-to-date carryover.
- Test onboarding, approvals, time-off policies, and manager permissions with one real department first.
- Avoid switching during year-end or an already messy payroll cycle unless you enjoy preventable chaos.
