Your employer or payer will use this amount to determine the amount of your tax deductions.

Fill out this form only if any of the following apply:
- you have a new employer or payer and you will receive salary, wages, commissions, pensions, employment insurance benefits, or any other remuneration
- you want to change amounts you previously claimed (for example, the number of your eligible dependants has changed)
- you want to claim the deduction for living in a prescribed zone
- you want to increase the amount of tax deducted at source
Sign and date it, and give it to your employer or payer.
If you do not fill out Form TD1, your employer or payer will deduct taxes after allowing the basic personal amount only.
More than one employer or payer at the same time
- If you have more than one employer or payer at the same time and you have already claimed personal tax credit amounts on another Form TD1 for 2020, you cannot claim them again. If your total income from all sources will be more than the personal tax credits you claimed on another Form TD1, check this box, enter "0" on line 13 and do not fill in lines 2 to 12.
Total income less than total claim amount
- Check this box if your total income for the year from all employers and payers will be less than your total claim amount on line 13. Your employer or payer will not deduct tax from your earnings.
Non-residents (Only fill in if you are a non-resident of Canada.)
- Yes (Fill out the previous page.)
- No (Enter "0" on line 13, and do not fill in lines 2 to 12 as you are not entitled to the personal tax credits.)
As a non-resident of Canada, will 90% or more of your world income be included in determining your taxable income earned in Canada in 2020?
If you are unsure of your residency status, call the international tax and non-resident enquiries line at 1-800-959-8281.
Provincial or territorial personal tax credits return
If your claim amount on line 13 is more than $13,229, you also have to fill out a provincial or territorial TD1 form. If you are an employee, use the Form TD1 for your province or territory of employment. If you are a pensioner, use the Form TD1 for your province or territory of residence. Your employer or payer will use both this federal form and your most recent provincial or territorial Form TD1 to determine the amount of your tax deductions.

If you are claiming the basic personal amount only, your employer or payer will deduct provincial or territorial taxes after allowing the provincial or territorial basic personal amount. Note: If you are a Saskatchewan resident supporting children under 18 at any time during 2020, you may be able to claim the child amount on Form TD1SK, 2020 Saskatchewan Personal Tax Credits Return. Therefore, you may want to fill out Form TD1SK even if you are only claiming the basic personal amount on this form.
Deduction for living in a prescribed zone
If you live in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon, or another prescribed northern zone for more than six months in a row beginning or ending in 2020, you can claim any of the following:
- $11.00 for each day that you live in the prescribed northern zone
- $22.00 for each day that you live in the prescribed northern zone if, during that time, you live in a dwelling that you maintain, and you are the only person living in that dwelling who is claiming this deduction
Employees living in a prescribed intermediate zone can claim 50% of the total of the above amounts.
For more information, go to canada.ca/taxes-northern-residents.
Additional tax to be deducted
You may want to have more tax deducted from each payment, especially if you receive other income, including non-employment income such as CPP or QPP benefits, or old age security pension. By doing this, you may not have to pay as much tax when you file your income tax and benefit return. To choose this option, state the amount of additional tax you want to have deducted from each payment. To change this deduction later, fill out a new Form TD1.
Reduction in tax deductions
You can ask to have less tax deducted on your income tax and benefit return if you are eligible for deductions or non-refundable tax credits that are not listed on this form (for example, periodic contributions to a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), child care or employment expenses, charitable donations, and tuition and education amounts carried forward from the previous year). To make this request, fill out Form T1213, Request to Reduce Tax Deductions at Source, to get a letter of authority from your tax services office. Give the letter of authority to your employer or payer. You do not need a letter of authority if your employer deducts RRSP contributions from your salary.

Employee Consent To Work Additional Hours
The Ontario government has introduced changes to the Employment Standards Act that will affect how employers administer hours of work. These changes took effect on March 1, 2005.

The law will continue to allow employers to schedule hours of work equal to 8 hours per day, or longer if the shift is regularly scheduled (for example: a regular 10 hour shift), up to a maximum of 48 hours per week. Where the employer and employee agree in writing, employees may be eligible for additional hours of work, up to a maximum of 12 hours per day and 60 hours per week.
I understand that I am allowed to work a MAXIMUM of 12 Hours per day.
- Yes
- No
In order to be eligible to work beyond your regular daily limit or 48 hours per week, the law will now require employees to first sign a written agreement providing their consent to do so. Where no agreement has been signed, employees will not be permitted to work overtime hours above their regularly scheduled work day or 48 hours per week.

If you have questions about the eligibility to work these hours, or wish to provide your written consent, please speak to an ESS Direct Inc. office personnel. You may provide this consent now, or at any time in the future.

In signing this consent form you agree to work those hours in excess of your regular daily limit of 48 hours per week as maybe required from time to time. You understand that to the extent possible, additional hours of work will be assigned by the Management on a voluntary basis up to a maximum of twelve (12) hours per day and 60 hours per week.
I understand that I am allowed to work a MAXIMUM of 60 Hours per week.
- Yes
- No
Prior to signing this consent form, you acknowledge that you have been provided with a copy of the Ministry of Labour Information Sheet for Employee about Hours of Work and Overtime Pay and that you have entered into this agreement voluntarily. This consent form does not constitute a guarantee with respect to hours of work. Management retains the right to alter hours of work, shift times and shift assignments as customer and business demands warrant.

Should you wish to remain eligible for additional overtime opportunities above and beyond your regularly scheduled shift (8) hours per day or the forty eight (48) hour per week limit allowed by the law, please sign this form below. A copy of this consent form will be kept in your personnel file.
You may revoke your consent to work excess hours at any time, upon providing two (2) weeks written notice to the Human Resources Department of ESS Direct Inc.

This document is valid between January 12, 2018 and January 12, 2021
