 Legislations and Regulations
 -----------------------------
 
+Federal and provincial/territorial legislation, and amendments to existing legislation and
+regulations, can affect the operations of a payroll department, as the requirement to comply
+with the new or amended legislation must be satisfied.
+
+Legislation determines what the rules are, while regulations determine how the rules are to be
+applied. 
+
+The methods for calculating income tax deductions are specified by the federal government
+through regulations.
+
+    *Example:*
+
+    The Income Tax Act
+
+    The legislation: Specifies that employers are required to withhold income tax from employees.
+
+    The regulation: Specifies the taxation methods that should be used for non-periodic payments such as bonuses, retroactive pay increases, lump sum payments, etc.
+
+    Non-periodic bonus payments- Where a payment in respect of a bonus is made by an employer to an employee whose total remuneration (including the bonus) from the employer 
+    may reasonably be expected to exceed $5,000 in the taxation year of the employee in which the payment is made, the amount to be deducted or withheld by the employer is dictated 
+    through a calculation prescribed in the regulation within the Act.
+
+Legislative change can prove to be anything but routine, particularly if the change is
+implemented at a time other than at the beginning of a calendar year, or involves some sort of
+retroactivity. The change may involve a series of adjustments to individual payroll accounts
+and extra work for the payroll department to finalize reconciliations and year-end balancing
+requirements.
+
+In general, legislation, and in particular, labour legislation, is constantly being changed,
+amended, repealed or revised. As a result, it is essential to keep up-to-date with the changes
+in the jurisdiction(s) in which your organization operates.
+
+Changes in legislation are generally publicized in the media. In large organizations, human
+resource departments, tax specialists and corporate legal departments often provide this type
+of information. However, in both large and small organizations, the payroll practitioner
+should be proactive in keeping abreast of changes and bringing them to the attention of those
+involved. There are many ways to keep informed of changes that impact payroll.
+
+The following are some of the available resources:
