e-PayDay® for Windows > Setting Up > Commencing Mid-Financial Year

It is recommended that the Tutorial on 'setting up' be read before the following.

There are two paths to follow when e-PayDay® is being set up and commenced after the start of the financial year.

1. Put in all the pays again from the start of the financial year that were already done in the

previous payroll system. This involves more work but has the advantage that at the end of

financial year, the payrun transactions will match the balances.

2. Commence the pays in e-PayDay® from the next pay due, and just enter the existing

balances into the respective employee's details. This option is quicker but has the

disadvantage of the fact that the balances at the end of the financial year will not match the

payrun transactions. The transaction report from the previous payroll system, which covers the

balances entered in e-PayDay®, will have to be added to the YTD balance report in e-PayDay®

in order to match the YTD transaction report.
