How to Start the New Year in Payroll for FundWare

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” - Bill Vaughn

You most likely will be ready to start your new payroll year before you have done anything with W-2s for 2013. In order to process your first January payroll, you have to roll your payroll balances forward.  This brings items like vacation, sick pay, etc. forward depending on how you have them marked.  You may have hit this in the past if you started a January payroll before rolling balances forward, as it will stop you at Check writing, with a message that says “Date conflicts with Active Year. Checks may not be produced.”  Take a look at the full procedure to roll payroll balances forward, which includes doing a Division Backup.

And remember, producing 2013 W-2s and running the new year payrolls have nothing to do with each other.  They are independent processes, and will have no conflict.  Therefore, you can run your first payroll of 2013 before you have produced 2012 W-2s.
