Update Tax Tables www.support.mysoftwaresolutions.com

Step D: If you have Payroll Period(s) with a 2018 Ending Date and a 2019 Check Date, Process it Process and post the payroll period(s) with a 2018 ending date and a 2019 check date as normal Ex: Beginning Date – December 15, 2018 Ending Date – December 31, 2018 Check Date – January 15, 2019

Process the First Payroll Period(s) Ending in 2019

Process the First Payroll Period(s) Ending in 2019 Allow Pre-use of Accruals Change the Balance Validation for Accruals Process the First Payroll Period(s) with a 2019 Ending Date Transfer Accrual Balances Verify Opening Accrual Balances Print/Email Checks/Direct Deposit Stubs Disable Pre-use of Accruals

Important Note on Accruals Accrual Usage Dates default to the period BEGINNING date ALL ACCRUAL USAGES IN 2018 MUST BE MARKED WITH THE CORRECT WORK DATE IN TIME ENTRY DO NOT USE 1/1/18 as a Work Date or for any manual adjustments Reminder: Employee Accruals will appear as ‘0’ in the payroll that crosses years, this is because the system is in January and the Transfer has not been completed yet

Step A: Allow Pre-use of Accruals Payroll > Configure > Payroll System This enables time off to be recorded in both 2018 and 2019 for the payroll period(s) that cross calendar years

Step B: Change the Balance Validation for Accruals Payroll > Configure > Accrual Definitions Each Accrual Definition has a Balance Validation If the Balance Validation is configured to “Warn and stop”, it must be changed to “Warn and continue” or “Ignore” for the payroll period(s) that cross calendar years

Step C: Process the First Payroll Period(s) with a 2019 Ending Date This step is for the payroll period(s) that have a beginning date in 2018 and an ending date in 2019 Ex: Beginning Date – December 24, 2018 Ending Date – January 6, 2019 Check Date – January 11, 2019

Accrue Yearly Accruals If yearly accruals (time off benefits that are granted at the beginning of the calendar year) need to be accrued, configure this when adding the payroll period “With Time Card”, “All Non-terminated”, or “All Active” needs to be selected in the Accrue Yearly Accruals field

Specify the Work Date during Time Card Entry The Work Date for all time worked or taken off in the new year (2019) needs to be specified during Time Card Entry It is not necessary to specify the actual date as long as the Work Date reflects the year in which the time off was taken or worked

Specify the Work Date during Time Card Entry – Calendar Entry Click on the Time Entry Calendar Tab

Specify the Work Date during Time Card Entry If time off is taken in 2018, it is not necessary to define the Work Date By default, the work date for accrual USAGES use the beginning date of the payroll period If your first payroll period with a 2019 ending date has a beginning date of January 1, 2019, it is not necessary to specify the Work Date The Work Date will default to 1/1/2019

Post the First Payroll Period(s) with a 2019 Ending Date Proceed with processing and posting the first payroll period(s) with a 2019 ending date IMPORTANT DO NOT print/email checks/direct deposit stubs at this time. (this will be completed in Step F) Note: If you generate stubs at this time, the accrual balances will be zero

Step D: Transfer Accrual Balances The transfer of accrual balances accomplishes two tasks: Transfers accrual balances that carry over from 2018 to 2019 The transfer is recorded as two separate accrual lines: a Transfer Out of 2018 with a 12/31/2018 date and a Transfer In to 2019 with a 1/1/2019 date Resets accrual balances to zero for accruals configured to reset at year end

Transfer Accrual Balances Payroll > Configure > Accrual Definitions Review accrual definitions and ensure that accruals that do not carry over to the new year are configured to Reset At Year End

Transfer Accrual Balances Payroll > Configure > Payroll System

Transfer Accrual Balances Make sure the box is checked

Step E: Verify Opening Accrual Balances Payroll > Report > Employee Accruals

Verify Opening Accrual Balances Payroll > Maintain > Employees

Verify Opening Accrual Balances

Verify Opening Accrual Balances Payroll > Report > Formatted Reports You can break on Department

Run Accrual Reports for Payroll Period(s) At this time, it is recommended that you run any accrual reports that you typically generate for a payroll period The Balance YTD will reflect what was transferred from 2018 as well as what was earned/used during the first payroll period(s) with a 2019 ending date. Double check individuals that were at or near maximum accruals. You can use the employee accruals grid to monitor this. The accrual for the first pay of 2019 was completed before balances were transferred. The balance at the time the payroll period was processed was 0 so the accrual would not have gone over the maximum.

Step F: Print/Email Checks/Direct Deposit Stubs Payroll > Maintain > Payroll Periods, Posted Proceed as normal with printing and/or emailing checks and/or direct deposit stubs for the first payroll period(s) with a 2019 ending date

Step G: Disable Pre-use of Accruals Payroll > Configure > Payroll System

Step H: Change the Balance Validation for Accruals Payroll > Configure > Accrual Definitions

Other Considerations

Tax Table Change The system uses the Check Date to determine when to start or stop using a tax table. It will compare the Begin Date and End Date fields in the tax table to the Check Date to determine if a particular tax table should be used.

OPERS Changes Non-Contributing List OPERS requires you to submit a list containing the non- contributing appointive employees who work in OPERS pension type positions but have opted out of the pension and any individuals who provided services to the employer in the prior year and were classified as an independent contractor or any other classification other than a public employee This does not replace the independent contract process

OPERS Changes How to Comply with the Non-Contributing List If you submit your pension reports on ECS, you are required to submit the non-contributing list on ECS

OPERS Changes Non-Contributing List Step 1: Setup the Employee Payroll > Maintain > Employees

OPERS Changes Non-Contributing List Step 1: OR the Vendor Accounts Payable > Maintain > Vendors TIP: If adding at the Vendor level, a unique ID is also required in the SSN field

OPERS Changes Non-Contributing List Step 1: Setup the Employee or Vendor Status Options: S = Student Exemption I = Independent Contractor N = Employed, paid non-earnable salary, previously reported under ‘X’ E = Elected Official

OPERS Changes Non-Contributing List Accounts Payable > Maintain > Non-Contributing Year Step 2: Add the Report Year

OPERS Changes Non-Contributing List Accounts Payable > Maintain > Non-Contributing Year Step 3: Prepare the Report

OPERS Changes Non-Contributing List Accounts Payable > Maintain > Non-Contributing Year Step 4: Create File

W2 ID If an employee paid into 2 different states during the year, VIP will report the states separately on both the W2 & Electronic file You must set up W2 ID on the secondary state Deduction Definition
