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 to the employee 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.
