Repayment of an Advance or Loan Paid Further to an Industrial Accident

If an employee repays you or the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) reimburses you, in the year the CNESST handed down its decision, the total amount of an advance of income replacement indemnities or a loan made further to an industrial accident or occupational disease, you are not required to file an RL-1 slip for this repayment.

However, if you authorized the employee to use sick leave to repay you or the employee repays you or the CNESST reimburses you only a portion of an advance of income replacement indemnities or a loan, you must file an RL-1 slip (see courtesy translation RL-1-T) for the employee. See the instructions below for the information to be entered on the employee's RL-1 slip.

Information to be entered on the amended RL-1 slip

Box A

Include the following amounts:

  • the amount of the advance of income replacement indemnities or the loan you made to the employee, minus the portion of the advance or loan that the employee repaid you or the CNESST reimbursed you in the year the CNESST handed down its decision;
  • the gross employment income the employee would have received for sick leave at the time you allowed the employee to use sick leave to repay you.

Box L

Include the amount of the advance of income replacement indemnities or the loan you made to the employee, minus the portion of the advance or loan that the employee repaid you or the CNESST reimbursed you in the year the CNESST handed down its decision.
