 Tips and Tricks
Best Practice Can Save Headaches
To stay on top of your
payroll and to prevent potential issues, it is highly recommended that
you run the Payroll Diagnostic Report (PRDIAG) weekly, or at the very
least, monthly.
Some of the issues that were called into Customer Support in January
could have been resolved prior to running W2s.
PRDIAG examines payroll history and is designed to find potential
problems.
As an additional tip, don't forget to save PRDIAG in your Favorites
Folder!
Adding Years of
Experience to Many Skills for Candidates/Employees
From the Employee Master, click on Options and go to Skills. You can add
years of experience to the Many Skills, (Multiple white sheets of paper
icon) and replace the forward slash (/) with "XY".
X represents the number of years and Y represents the word years. For
example:
Spanish = K0327\
If you remove the \ and key 7y, you would have 7 years of experience
speaking Spanish.
