Do employers mail t4s to you

In Canada, employers are required to provide T4 slips to employees by January 31st of each year. However, they do not typically mail T4 slips directly to employees.

Instead, employers usually provide T4 slips to employees in one of the following ways:

  1. In-person: Employers may distribute T4 slips to employees in person, either by handing them out or by making them available for pickup at the workplace.
  2. Email: Some employers may email T4 slips to employees, especially if they have a digital HR system or online portal.
  3. Online portal: Many employers use online portals or employee self-service platforms to provide T4 slips to employees. Employees can log in to access their T4 slip and other tax-related documents.
  4. Mail to HR or payroll department: In some cases, employers may mail T4 slips to the HR or payroll department, where they are then distributed to employees.

It's essential to note that employees are responsible for ensuring they receive their T4 slip from their employer. If you haven't received your T4 slip by February 28th, you can contact your employer's HR or payroll department to request a copy.

Remember, the T4 slip is an important document for filing your taxes, so make sure to keep it safe and secure!
