On the ROE, separation payments are reported in Block 17. Service Canada explains that Block 17C - Other monies is used to record "any other payments or benefits...paid...because of the separation," whether or not they are insurable.
The ROE Guide specifically lists "Severance pay" as a type of separation money to enter in Block 17C ("Enter 'Severance pay' and the amount").
Crucially, Block 15B and Block 15C are for insurable earnings totals/by pay period. The ROE Guide notes that some amounts reported in Block 17 (like vacation pay) are insurable and must be added into Blocks 15B
/15C; however, retirement leave credits/retiring allowances (a form of severance-type payment) are not insurable and are not added to Blocks 15B/15C even though they are recorded in Block 17C.
So, severance is reported in Block 17C only.

Explanation:
Because Elodie is subject to QPP, her pensionable earnings for the pay period include both salary and commissions (both are pensionable employment earnings, assuming no exemptions apply). First, determine total pensionable earnings for the bi-weekly pay:
$1,000.00 + $4,300.00 = $5,300.00.
For 2026, Revenu Quebec shows the QPP basic exemption is $3,500 annually and the (employee) QPP contribution rate on earnings up to the maximum pensionable earnings is 6.30%.
Payroll applies the exemption per pay period. For bi-weekly pay (26 pay periods):
$3,500 ÷ 26 = $134.62 (rounded to cents).
Pensionable earnings subject to QPP this pay:
$5,300.00 # $134.62 = $5,165.38.
QPP contribution:
$5,165.38 × 6.30% = $5,165.38 × 0.063 = $325.41894, which rounds to $325.42.

For apaper ROE, Service Canada's ROE guidance uses a set number ofmost recent consecutive pay periods to support the reporting of insurable earnings. InBlock 15C(insurable earnings by pay period), the paper ROE provides27 fields, which allows reporting up to27 weekly pay periods(or fewer if the employee worked fewer periods).
Block15Bis thetotal insurable earningsfor the applicable number of consecutive pay periods, and for a weekly payroll this aligns with the same maximum count used on the paper ROE earnings grid-27periods.
Practically, this means payroll totals the employee's insurable earnings for thelast 27 consecutive weekly pay periodsleading up to the interruption of earnings (or the full period of employment if shorter). Using the correct number of pay periods ensures Service Canada has the right earnings history to adjudicate EI benefits accurately and reduces ROE processing issues.

The payment type most clearly not subject to all statutory deductions is directors' fees. CRA guidance on directors' fees shows they are treated as a special payment with distinct deduction rules, and (depending on the situation) they may not have CPP, EI, and income tax all apply in the same way as normal employment earnings.
By contrast, retroactive adjustments and performance bonuses are treated as taxable remuneration where CRA' s tools (like PDOC) calculate CPP contributions, EI premiums, and income tax on those payments (up to annual maximums).
"Vacation pay when no time was taken" is also treated as a non-periodic payment and is included in CRA payroll deduction formulas as a type of amount on which statutory deductions are calculated (again, subject to annual maximums for CPP/EI).
So, among the options listed, directors' fees are the one that would not necessarily be subject to all statutory deductions in the standard way.

Service Canada's ROE guidance states that an employer must issue an ROE each time an employee experiences an interruption of earnings and when Service Canada requests one. This makes option A true.
For paper ROEs, the ROE guide is explicit about deadlines: you must issue a paper ROE within 5 calendar days of (1) the first day of an interruption of earnings, or (2) the day the employer becomes aware that an interruption of earnings has occurred. This confirms option B.
An interruption of earnings generally occurs under the 7-day rule-when an employee has had or is anticipated to have 7 consecutive calendar days with no work and no insurable earnings from the employer.
That's why option C is also true: once the employer becomes aware the 7-day threshold is met (or will be met), the ROE requirement is triggered, and the paper ROE must be issued within the time limit above.
