When you set up Sage HRMS Payroll part way into a calendar year you must enter the transaction data for the current year to date. This window lets you enter historical employee pay information.
If you convert to Sage HRMS Payroll after the beginning of the year, you can bring employee records up to date for accurate payroll reports, T4s, T4As, and Relevé 1s. You can enter the following pay information:
The system retains transaction history for the number of years you specify on the Payroll Setup Options window.
Notes:
Important! Regarding Employment Insurance History: You should continue to prepare ROEs manually until you've processed at least 20 weeks of payrolls in Sage HRMS Payroll. You cannot produce a correct Record of Employment from historical employment insurance premium information entered in the Transaction History window.
As with all other deductions, if you start using the payroll program after the beginning of a calendar year, you must enter historical employment insurance premiums to produce correct T4s, T4As, and Relevé 1s.
