The total of the amounts you withhold during the year for an employee must not exceed the maximum employee premium for the year. Once the maximum employee premium is reached, you must stop withholding QPIP premiums from the employee's remuneration. You must also stop paying your employer premium on this remuneration because the maximum employer premium for the year is also reached once the maximum employee premium is reached.
