Monthly report for construction industry employer

On this page, you’ll find information about major updates to the monthly report, including what has changed with the modernized platform and the main administrative and regulatory changes in effect since January 2026.

The modernized monthly report platform

The modernized monthly report will introduce several changes to streamline administrative tasks.

  • A clearer format and automated calculations
  • The option to save drafts and change monthly reports
  • The option to auto-fill monthly reports
  • The ability to pre-validate data before the report is submitted (an alert will automatically appear in the event of an error)
  • The ability to easily share and archive reports
  • Learn more

    Improved navigation, automated calculations

    Say goodbye to black and white PDFs and beige interfaces! You can now explore a new user-friendly interface directly from your client file with features designed to simplify how you manage your monthly reports. 

    Our new service will automatically calculate hours and contributions to save you time while reducing the risk of errors. 

    You’ll be able fill out and submit the monthly report, anytime and from any location, directly from your tablet or computer.  

    Review errors before you submit!

    A warning will appear if there are any errors in the information submitted. You’ll then have the opportunity to fix these errors immediately or at a later time.

    Be aware that some errors could prevent the monthly report from being sent. These will need to be corrected immediately before you can submit the file.

    Don’t worry, messages will pop up to tell you what to do.

    More flexibility

    If something unexpected happens, there’s no need to worry because the monthly report will automatically be saved and you’ll be able to access a draft at any time. You can finish it later and submit it whenever you’re ready. 

    Once submitted, you can modify the document directly in your file but make sure to respect the usual deadlines. 

    See the real-time status of your report

    You’ll be able to follow the status of your monthly report in real time: it will be marked as either “En traitement” or “Traité”. If there’s an issue with your monthly report, a member of the CCQ team will contact you. 

    Copy/paste, personalize

    You can copy (or duplicate) the previous month’s report. Simply add or remove employees as needed. 

    Organize and save documents

    You can also print or save your monthly report and your invoices in PDF format to better manage and share them.

    Do you use a service provider?

    If you already work with a payroll service, accounting firm, or accounting software, make sure they are on the list of approved service providers. Over the past several months, we’ve been working with partners to guarantee your files remain secure.

Electronic payments and adjusted penalty principle

Another change: the mandatory electronic payment for monthly reports. It’s simple, reliable, and quick. It will save you time while reducing the risk of errors.

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

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 if the delay does not exceed 7 days
  • 11% of the amount if the delay does not exceed 14 days
  • 20% for all other situations  
     

Changes to statuses and how hours are reported for designated representatives starting in January 2026

Status changes

In order to make processing the monthly report easier, certain statuses are disappearing. For instance:

  • Hours reported for statuses 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) without obligation to pay any additional contributions.

Save this table as a reference.

For more information about the statuses, please consult the table here.

Reporting hours for designated representatives

In order to produce a report that complies with regulations and avoid any problems when submitting the monthly report, designated representatives must be reported under status E.

With this status, they can contribute to benefits, if desired.
Some specific situations may require another status, but the approved status usually remains status E.

If you need more information about status E or if you have any other question about your monthly report:
  • Visit the Soutien page
  • Use the “Contactez-nous” form in the Catalogue de services in your online account.
  • Call the employer help line: 1 877 973-5383.
  • Find out more

    Check that the DR has been registered in the organization’s file

    A person must be officially registered as a designated representative in the organization’s file before hours can be reported for them using status E.
    You can verify this using the online services. Navigate to “Mon organization”, then click on “Autorisations et relations” and then on “Contacts de l’organization”.
    If the individual has not been registered or if changes need to be made, fill out the designation form and submit it via “Contactez-nous” in the online services.
    Modifying or adding a DR to the organization’s file does not incur any fees. 

    Calculating contributions and vacation pay

    The new version of the monthly report platform now performs many calculations automatically.
    However, when status E is used:

    • The employer must manually enter the amounts associated with contributions and vacation pay.

    • Thes amounts must be based on the payroll statement.

    Modifications to amounts can be made anytime. However, no penalties or interest will apply to modifications made up to 15 days after the transmission period.

     

Amendments to monthly reports and correcting invalid data

Amending a monthly report

Once the monthly report has been submitted, you may have to make changes. You can now amend a monthly report via your online file.
Watch the how-to video to find out how to modify your monthly reports.


Invalid data

Invalid data occurs when the information entered in the monthly report does not match what is in the CCQ’s files.

Invalid data will not prevent your report from being submitted but invalid data will not be invoiced.
You can correct the mistake before submitting your monthly report. If you do not, you will have to create an amendment once the monthly report is submitted. 

 
  • Find out more

    Invalid data is easy to spot:

    • The orange exclamation mark in a circle will appear in “Mes rapports mensuels” next to the invalid data in question. 

    • A “Données non conformes” section will appear in the detailed view of the report.

       

    Common types of invalid data are:

    • Typos in SSN / client number / names

    • An incomplete employee file or an employee file that does not exist with the CCQ

    • Missing mandatory fields (hours, weeks, salary)

    • Incompatible combinations (trade-sector-annex-status

    • Incorrect trade number, region number, or other

       

    Verify status codes, regions, and trades by checking the Guide du rapport mensuel..

     

    Impacts of uncorrected invalid data

    Invalid data must be corrected because it will not be invoiced. Moreover, this information will not be transferred to your employee’s file. In other words, employees will not have access to their contributions, paid vacation leave, or applicable funds.

     

    Modification to amounts can be made anytime. However, no penalties or interest will apply to modifications made up to 15 days after the transmission period. In the online monthly report, click on the Crayon icon to correct the data or use the “Amender” button to make changes.
