When a pay group hasn’t been used for some time, you may need to move its payroll period forward to bring it in line with the current period.
⚠️Important: Use the Utilities option only under strict guidance. Shifting payroll periods in an actively used pay group can lead to serious issues.
Do not move payroll periods into a new tax year if there have already been payments in the current tax year. In such cases, a year-end cleardown is mandatory.
