PAYROLL HELPFUL HINTS!

• The Payroll module is based on a calendar year. There is no future period in Payroll. You cannot post a payroll in process with a check date in a future quarter until the current quarter is closed by selecting Quarter/Year-end Processing from the Period End menu.
  
• Payroll Year-end Processing in MAS 90 can only be “reversed” by restoring data from a current backup. Reopening a year is not allowed.(cont.) Data for the current year is cleared during Year-end Processing with the exception of Perpetual History files. Always keep a current backup.
  
• Do not perform Payroll Period-end Processing until the W-2s are printed and Magnetic Media has been processed. Keep a backup of the data for future use prior to closing, if needed.
