An updated employee manual might be distributed.  Obtain new W-4’s and the equivalent state form for payroll deductions for the new year. This will also help in updating their addresses.  It would also be a good time to update each employee’s emergency contact information and other special instructions in case of an emergency.  On “problem” employees, request a detailed statement so that the balance can be verified.  As soon as the majority of the A/P activity has been entered, its suggested to move the block period up to 12.

8 Slide#: 8© GPS Financial Services 2008-2009Revised 04/04/2009 cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Payroll Module - Closing Warning BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE UPDATIING. Once you have purged this information, there is no way to retrieve it without a backup or changing to the prior year company code. You may also want to print a detailed employee history to paper and make a printing of the hard disk (in PDF format) before closing the payroll for the year. This way, you have a hard copy of the information. It may also be desirable to put a copy of the detailed employee history in each employee’s personnel folder. If a backup is made, it is suggested to put it in a special location, such as “\YE-PR-2008” so that it won’t get overwritten. The best technique is to copy the “PR” files only from your ongoing company to your prior year company (ex. Y08) manually, or by using our product (cms2SY CopyModule) that lets you copy one module from one company code to another. Also, see (cms2PR History99Yr) Backing up or Copying Files (optional but highly recommended)

9 Slide#: 9© GPS Financial Services 2008-2009Revised 04/04/2009 cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Payroll Module - Closing  When you process payroll, you will want to enter periodic leave used for each employee with a periodic leave code. Since most businesses calculate accrued periodic leave only once per period, use this function for that periodic calculation.  Processing periodic vacation and sick leave adds the amount set up for a periodic leave code to the employee's accumulator in their master record. It is then added to the Accrued and Remaining boxes. Processing Periodic Vacation/Sick Leave (optional & recommended)

10 Slide#: 10© GPS Financial Services 2008-2009Revised 04/04/2009 cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Payroll Module - Closing  This calculation takes place only for periodic leave codes, as defined in the bottom half of the PR Leave Code setup window. Results display in the PR Employee window.  To process periodic leave, do the following: 1. Select Process Periodic Vacation/Sick Leave from the “Period End” menu. 2. Enter the periodic leave code you would like to process. If you leave this box blank, accrued leave for all periodic leave codes are calculated. 3. Select the accrual period. 4. Select “OK” to process, or choose “Cancel” to exit without processing. Processing Periodic Vacation/Sick Leave (optional & recommended)

12 Slide#: 12© GPS Financial Services 2008-2009Revised 04/04/2009 cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Payroll Module - Closing  Payroll period-end processing clears the database and prepares for a new year.  You have three months to process your year-end before you have conflicts with newly posted information. This is because the Payroll Module saves information for 15 months total. The extra three months give you time to complete your payroll taxes and related tasks before you clear the information for the last period.  If your organization closes the year at a different date than 12/31, it is recommended to create a calendar year company to keep the calendar year payroll records. This will ease the research needed when it’s needed to produce a wage history on an employee for the courts, government agencies, etc. Another option is to purchase our 99 year payroll history productivity tool called cms2PR History-99Yr. Closing the Year (mandatory)

13 Slide#: 13© GPS Financial Services 2008-2009Revised 04/04/2009 cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Payroll Module - Closing 1. Select Close Year from the “Period End” menu. 2.
