Chapter 1: Security notes

All communications between your PC and the ROH Data Gateway application will be encrypted. This behaviour is built into your browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox) and will be automatically invoked when you connect to the ROH Data Gateway application.

Ensure that you are connected to the ROH Data Gateway application by being familiar with the information contained in this document; in particular, verify that the site you are connected to:

  • uses the "https" protocol; i.e. the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or internet address starts with https://;
  • presents the screens as displayed in this document;
  • presents the Department's Server Certificate as described; and
  • functions in a fashion consistent with that described in this document

Your User ID and Password are an important part of ROH Data Gateway application security.

It is essential that the User ID and Password knowledge be restricted, both within your organization and at the Department. If compromise is known or suspected, the User ID and Password must be changed immediately. Use the Change Password function of the ROH Data Gateway application to accomplish this.

User IDs and Passwords are verified and a record is kept of who connects, when, for how long, and what files were accessed.

Your User ID and Password is your "account" as referred to in the "Authorized Users Only" statement on the Login page.

Detailed information on Web security is available at Entrust, Microsoft, and Verisign.

Chapter 4: ROH program reporting compliance and BH1202 file submissions

Note: For security reasons, your current session will be terminated and you will be returned to the Welcome default page if you have not been active for more than 20 minutes.

1. ROH program reporting requirements

As the ROH information provider, you must upload (submit) at least one BH1202.xml file per month. You can upload as many BH1202.xml files per month if you wish. Refer to Chapter 5 for the detailed instructions and requirements on how to properly create the BH1202.xml file.

If you wish to report for an organization for the first time or resume reporting for an organization that previously stopped participating in the ROH program, then simply include in your BH1202.xml file an "organization" transaction for that organization.

Once you start reporting for an organization, you must continue reporting for that organization every month regardless of whether or not the organization had hirings or recalls for that month.

In other words, you must include in your BH1202.xml file one "organization" transaction along with any of its related "hiring_recall" transactions for every organization that you report for.

Always provide in your BH1202.xml file the most up-to-date information for all organizations that you report for.

If you wish to stop reporting for an organization, simply omit that organization from your BH1202.xml file.

If you forget to upload at least one BH1202.xml file per month, you will be notified in the following ways until you are again in compliance with the ROH program BH1202.xml file reporting requirements:

  1. You will be notified by e-mail.
  2. After you have logged into the ROH Data Gateway application, the following Hiring and Recall Submission Reminder page will be displayed:
Messaging reminds the user to report hirings and/or recalls for the corresponding organization for the reporting period.

Carefully read the Hiring and Recall Submission Reminder.

Note: Only information on your organization (the ROH information provider) will be displayed. Information on any organization that you may report for will not be displayed.

Click the CONTINUE button to acknowledge that you have read the Hiring and Recall Submission Reminder.

Once you have clicked the CONTINUE button, the following will occur:

  • The ROH Data Gateway Application home page will be displayed.
  • If our internal records indicate that your organization and/or any one of the organizations that your report for has a Participation Status of "Late or Not Reporting," the Participation Status of these organizations will be updated to "Notified as a Result of Late or Not Reporting."

2. Uploading BH1202 files

Important notes:

  • A "The file to be uploaded was not found" error message will be displayed if you did not enter a value in the "Select the file(s) to upload" field. In this event, select the correct file (file directory path and file name) and resubmit.
  • A "The file to be uploaded was not found or empty" error message will be displayed if you uploaded a file with no data. In this event, upload a file that contains data.
  • You will receive a *notification by e-mail once your uploaded file has been processed (validated, etc.) by the ROH program (*usually within two business days).
  • You have until the end of the day (midnight) of the file upload to delete the uploaded file before it is processed (validated, etc.) by the ROH program. For instructions on how to delete an uploaded file, refer to section 3. Viewing and/or deleting previously uploaded BH1202 files.

Chapter 5: BH1202 file creation instructions and requirements

1. Description

The BH1202 file contains information on organizations that participate in the ROH program by the "File" reporting method along with their corresponding hirings and recalls. The BH1202 file replaces the previous ROH CPS (Centralized Payroll System) file.

2. Requirements

2.1 You can name the file whatever you wish, but we recommend the following format:

Note: The only restriction on the file name is to limit the length of the file name including extension to 36 characters.

<BH1202><Your 15 character CRA Account Number><File Creation Date – YYYYMMDD><.xml>

For example: BH1202999999999RP999920110930.xml

2.2 The file content must adhere to the requirements outlined in the BH1202.xsd file (XML Schema).

The entire BH1202.xml file will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

Note the following about the BH1202.xsd file:

Once you have downloaded the BH1202 XML Schema and saved it to your computer, you must change the file extension from .doc to .xsd.

  • The purpose of the BH1202.xsd (XML Schema) file is to define the legal building blocks and structure of the BH1202.xml file.
    To be more specific, the BH1202.xsd (XML Schema) file:
    • defines elements that can appear in the BH1202.xml file
    • defines attributes that can appear in the BH1202.xml file
    • defines which elements are child elements in the BH1202.xml file
    • defines the order of child elements in the BH1202.xml file
    • defines the number of child elements in the BH1202.xml file
    • defines data types for elements and attributes in the BH1202.xml file
    • defines default and fixed values for elements and attributes in the BH1202.xml file
  • The name of the root element in the BH1202.xsd file is "BH1202".
  • Every element in the BH1202.xsd file has a corresponding description.
  • Every English element name in the BH1202.xsd file has a corresponding French element name. As a result, your BH1202.xml file can contain either English or French element names.
  • Almost every element full (long) name in the BH1202.xsd file has a corresponding short name (acronym). It is strongly recommended that you use the short name in your BH1202.xml file in order to reduce the size of your file.
  • Prior to submitting a BH1202.xml file to the ROH program, validate your BH1202.xml file against the BH1202.xsd (XML Schema) file and make, if applicable, the necessary corrections. In other words, only submit BH1202.xml files that have met all the requirements defined in the BH1202.xsd (XML Schema) file.
  • It is strongly recommend that you use a professional XML editor that supports XML Schemas to view this BH1202.xsd file.
    As well, a professional XML editor will help you to:
    • create a sample BH1202.xml file
    • create an error-free BH1202.xml file
    • validate your BH1202.xml file against the BH1202.xsd schema file
    • stick to a valid XML structure

2.3 In addition to the requirements defined in the BH1202.xsd (XML Schema) file, the following requirements must also be adhered to:

Note:
The following requirements are enforced by our ROH program software that processes your submitted BH1202.xml file(s). They are not enforced by the BH1202.xsd (XML Schema) file.

2.3.1 The "creation_date_time" element value must be unique.

This requirement is in place to ensure that you only submit BH1202.xml files that have not been previously submitted.

The entire BH1202.xml file will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.2 The "creation_date_time" element value must be greater than all of the previously submitted BH1202.xml file's "creation_date_time" element values.

This requirement is in place to ensure that you submit your BH1202.xml files in the proper sequence (for example: January, February, March…).

The entire BH1202.xml file will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.3 The "creation_date_time" element value must not be in the future.

The entire BH1202.xml file will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.4 The first "organization" transaction in your BH1202.xml file must contain the *ROH information provider organization details.

*The organization that is registered in the ROH program as the legitimate provider of ROH information on behalf of itself and/or other organizations via the BH1202.xml file reporting method.

The entire BH1202.xml file will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.5 The first "cra_account_number" element instance value in your BH1202.xml file must be the same as the CRA Account Number value of the organization that is registered in the ROH program as the legitimate ROH information provider of this BH1202.xml file.

Important note:

If your organization's (ROH information provider) CRA_account_number changes, notify us (see Chapter 6, section 2. Contact Us) before submitting your next file. We need to update your organization's CRA account number in our ROH program'sdata base. Otherwise, your next file will be rejected.

The entire BH1202.xml file will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.6 The "business_number" element value must fulfill conditions of the MOD10 check for every organization transaction in your BH1202.xml file that represents a *child organization.

*An organization that the ROH information provider reports for (on behalf of).

The entire "organization" and related "hiring_recall" transaction(s) will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.7 Every "zip_code" element value in your BH1202.xml file must correspond to a legitimate US state, etc.

In most cases, the entire "organization" and related "hiring_recall" transaction(s) will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.8 Every "postal_code" element value in your BH1202.xml file must adhere to the following requirement :

If the first character position (from the left) is X, then the next two character positions (from the left) must be one of the following allowable values: 0A, 0B, 0C, 0E, 0G, 0H, 0K, or 1A.

In most cases, the entire "organization" and related "hiring_recall" transaction(s) will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.9 If the organization transaction represents a *child organization that is participating in the ROH program for the first time or is resuming their participation in the ROH program, then their "cra_account_number" element value must:

*An organization that the ROH information provider reports for (on behalf of).

  • be registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and their account with CRA must be open; and
  • not correspond to an organization that is currently participating in the Automated Earnings Reporting System (AERS).

The entire "organization" and related "hiring_recall" transaction(s) will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.10 You can only report for participating child organizations (include child organization transactions in your BH1202.xml file) that are currently registered/linked in the ROH program to your organization (ROH information provider).

The entire "organization" and related "hiring_recall" transaction(s) will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.11 Every "social_insurance_number" element value in your BH1202.xml file must fulfill conditions of the MOD10 check.

The entire "hiring_recall" element transaction will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.13 A *hiring_recall transaction that has been previously reported for the same corresponding "organization" transaction is not allowed.

*A "hiring_recall" transaction that has the same "social_insurance_number" and "first_day_worked" element values as a previously reported "hiring_recall" transaction for the same corresponding "organization" transaction.

The entire "hiring_recall" element transaction will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

2.3.14 The "hiring_recall" transaction's "first_day_worked" element value must not be within seven calendar days (before or after) of a previously reported "hiring_recall" transaction for the same "social_insurance_number" element value and corresponding "organization" element instance.

The entire "hiring_recall" element transaction will be rejected if this requirement is not met.

3. BH1202 file transaction content options

3.1 If you are an ROH information provider organization that will report all hirings and recalls under only one (your) CRA Account Number, then:

3.1.1 If there are no hirings or recalls to report, your BH1202.xml file must contain only your ROH information provider details.

For example:
Only one "organization_and_hiring" transaction containing:

  • a corresponding "organization" transaction; and
  • followed by one or more corresponding "hiring_recall" transactions
