DISCUSSION ACTIVITY Understanding the difference between a cash taxable allowance, a cash taxable benefit and a non-cash taxable benefit is critical when explaining the calculation of net pay to an employee. In your own words, explain whether each allowance and benefit is or is not subject to Canada/Qubec Pension Plan (C/QPP) contributions, Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, Qubec Parental Insurance Plan premiums and income tax. Provide an example of a cash taxable allowance, a cash taxable benefit and a non-cash taxable benefit. SCENARIO YO Your organization, located in Manitoba, will be enhancing the group benefits plan offered to employees in two months by adding accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage and vision care coverage. The organization will pay 50% of the cost of the AD&D premiums and 50% of the cost of the vision care premiums, with the employees paying the other 50% of each premium. The Director of Finance, Tina Colin, has requested that you, as the Payroll Manager, prepare a communication for the employees, explaining how these new benefits will impact their net pay. Prepare your response (200 - 350 words) using your name, correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. You will be penalized if you are excessively over or under the suggested word count. Your response must be stated in your own words and should be based on the course material, your experiences, knowledge gained through the course and at least one external government resource
