Prior year reporting of payroll information

You can now retain and report prior year payroll information.

Retain prior year paycheck information

When you start a new fiscal year, you can now select an option to retain paycheck information from prior years.

In the Closed Transactions and Other Entries window of the Start a New Fiscal Year Assistant, select the Keep Paychecks from Prior Fiscal Years option and then select the fiscal year from when you want to keep paychecks in your company file. For example, if you’re closing the 2008 fiscal year, and you want to retain all paycheck data for that year, select FY 2008.

After you have saved paycheck details from a fiscal year, you can view payroll reports containing information for the saved periods.

Purging paycheck information

If you want to purge paychecks at a later date, you can do this when you purge journal entries at the end of a period or as part of your company file maintenance. In the Purge Journal Entries window, deselect the Keep Paychecks option and purge journal entries as you normally would.
