Welcome to November! This time of year marks the start of the busiest season for our payroll administrators. As year-end preparation and processing take center stage, we’re here to support you with UKG Ready® and UKG Dimensions® HCM resources. Gather your resources like a bountiful harvest and let us help you navigate year-end processing with ease. Check out these tips to get you started.
Tip #1: Cultivate and verify your data for accuracy
Embrace the importance of paying attention to details that can make all the difference. By identifying and correcting issues early, you can prevent last minute changes and the stress that accompanies them.
Tip #2: Keep wages and W-2 data in harmony this season
Regularly reviewing employee W-2 information and tax settings throughout the year is essential. Instead of waiting until December, make it a habit to balance wages periodically. This proactive approach ensures that wages are accurate on tax documents, making year-end preparation smoother and more efficient.
Tip #3: Fall into place by confirming your company settings
To kick off the forms and filing processes, start by reviewing and configuring your W-2 and 1099 print settings and delivery policies. By following these important steps, you can avoid potential issues with W-2s, as we all know how problematic W-2Cs can be!
