Electronic T4 slips - consenting to receive electronic T4 slips
To reduce the university’s carbon footprint, employees can access an online electronic copy of their
T4 through the Employee Self Service portal, instead of a mailed copy, with the following advantages:
•
•
•
•
your T4 will not be lost in the mail;
mail theft is eliminated;
carbon footprint is reduced; and
you can print your T4 from the privacy of your own home at your convenience.
The T4s posted online are official T4s, accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). To stop
receiving a printed T4 in the mail, CRA requires that you give consent. At MacEwan University, this is
done electronically by simply following the instructions below.
