Monthly reports for November and December 2025 postponed

Because we have to shut down some systems to prepare for the launch of the improved online services, you will need to submit monthly reports for November and December 2025 between January 12 and 27, 2026. No penalties will apply.

  • Vacation pay for the 2025-2026 holiday period will be paid as scheduled.
  • Encourage your employees to track their hours worked and to keep their pay stubs.

Status changes starting in January 2026

In order to make processing the monthly report easier, certain statuses will cease to exist. Starting in January 2026, statuses M, F, and L will no longer exist. 

  • M (production machinery) and L (preparation hours) will become status A (voluntary contribution with benefits).  
  • Status F (paid administrator) will become regular status (regular employee).
Online payments and adjusted penalty principle

Another change coming soon: mandatory electronic payments for monthly reports. Simple, reliable, and quick. They’ll save you time while reducing the risk of errors.

Starting in January 2026, payment for monthly reports will be made through your financial institution or by pre-authorized debit (PAD).

You must return the pre-authorized debit request form by November 26, 2025. Any request submitted after this date will be processed in January 2026. 

Good news: the penalty for the late submission of the monthly report will now be calculated based on a progressive scale, i.e., according to the number of days overdue. Moreover, interest will accrue daily. 

 

  • 7% of the amount due if the delay does not exceed 7 days
  • 11% of the amount due if the delay does not exceed 14 days
  • 20% for all other situations
All other administrative and regulatory changes

  • Registering the employer

    The employer must notify the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) of any change to any of the information they provided when registering within 30 days of the change, except for a change in contact information which must be communicated to the CCQ as soon as it comes into effect. 

    The employer must provide their contact information including their email address (or the contact information of directors for a legal person or partners for a company, respectively). 

    Any update to the information in the enterprise register as provided for in the Act respecting the legal publicity of enterprises (Chapter P-44.1) and in the register of licence holders under the Building Act (Chapter B-1.1) is deemed to amend the corresponding information in the employer's registration. 

    Information provided for the purposes of registering an employer must correspond to the information provided  in the enterprise register and register of licence holders. 

     

  • Re-registering the employer

    An employer must register again prior to the execution of construction work covered by the Act if they: 

    have notified the CCQ they will no longer act as an employer 

    or 

    have not submitted their monthly report to the CCQ, or the notice of inactivity (formerly the monthly report without activity) when applicable as well as the required amounts, in accordance with the conditions and within the timeframe provided for in this regulation, for 24 consecutive monthly work periods. 

  • Employer register

    The register must now include information pertaining to the independent contractor. 

  • Monthly report

    Any amendments/changes can be made in the client file.

    The monthly report must now include presentation hours, if applicable.

    Hours are reported for the entire month and no longer on a weekly basis.

    In the event an employer does not assign any work to an employee or independent contractor during a monthly work period, they must send a notice of inactivity to the CCQ.

    Online services must now be used to submit the monthly report, amend the monthly report or notices of inactivity, and submit related payments.
