What is the CCQ daily register (R-20)?
The daily wage register, commonly known as the R-20 form, is a mandatory document every employer must maintain and keep available on every construction site in Quebec. It details each worker's daily presence: name, trade, competency, arrival and departure times, hours worked.
CCQ inspectors can ask to see this register during their site visits. An incomplete or missing register can result in penalties.
Why contractors hate the R-20 register
Filling out the daily register manually is tedious. Every day, for every job site, you have to record the hours of every worker present. If you have multiple active sites at the same time, it's a mountain of paperwork.
Many contractors use pre-printed paper forms or Excel sheets. The problem: the data often duplicates what you're already entering for payroll. It's double work.
How BatiPaie automates the R-20 register
With BatiPaie, the daily register fills itself automatically. When you schedule your workers on the dashboard by job site and enter their hours, BatiPaie uses that same data to generate the R-20 register.
For each job site and each day, BatiPaie produces a register in the official format with all required details: worker identity, CCQ trade, competency, hours worked. You can print the PDF in one click and keep it on site.
Never again do double work. Enter hours once, get both payroll and the register.
What to do during a CCQ inspection
During a CCQ inspection, the inspector may ask to see the daily register for the site. With BatiPaie, you can print the register directly from your phone or tablet on the spot.
Since the data is always current and synchronized with your payroll calendar, you're always ready. No more stress, no more missing forms.
