Warning: The check date of this record is for a calendar year later than the check date of the first posted payroll record.

Summary

Warning: The check date of this record is for a calendar year later than the check date of the first posted payroll record. Payroll records to be paid in a later calendar year should not be entered until you have closed the payroll in the current year.

Cause

There is more than one possible cause for this warning:

  • There are one or more payroll records with a Check Date earlier than the current payroll year, either because there is an incorrectly dated check or the previous year's payroll was not closed (versions 24.2 and later) or archived
  • The payroll record you are saving has a Check Date with a year later than the current payroll year

Resolution

Click the selection arrow for the Record# field in 5-2-2 to open the payroll record selection window, then sort the window by the Check Date column to locate any records with a previous year or future year date. Correct the Check Date if needed.


Note that this warning will not prevent you from saving the payroll record, but if ignored can result in the Quarterly and Yearly totals for one or more employees to be incorrect.
