When transitioning from another payroll provider to the Payroll classic platform, you may have employees that have existing Year to Date (YTD) deductions. It is important to transfer these deduction balances over to make sure your employees have the correct financial records.
The Opening Balances Deductions feature allows you to select an employee file and enter their existing YTD deduction amounts. You can also use this feature to clear the opening balances if you entered the wrong YTD figures into their employee file. To read further information on Opening Balances please see our Hero Academy training video here.
