532 - 27th March 1992 ********************* Payroll End Of Year/Version 6.0B Upgrade ************************************************************* Payroll End of Year 1991/92 *************************** A problem has been reported by a number of resellers. The problem is that in certain circumstances Employees that were present on the payroll when it was upgraded to Global 2000 Payroll V6.0A do not have their NI letter printed on P60's. This can be corrected either by manually entering the NI letter directly via "Adjust end of year data" or by running PREYF. PREYF has been produced to save users and resellers time, it will be included on Autozap run 7013 which will be distributed during the first half of April 1992. If you require PREYF before you receive Autozap run 7013 please fax the Hotline requesting a copy, stating the format you require. Global 2000 Payroll V6.0B Upgrade ********************************* It has become apparent that some resellers are confused regarding the correct procedure for upgrading from Global 2000 Payroll V6.0A to V6.0B. We have recommended that users do not purge employee data prior to upgrade. This is to save the user entering some of the additional information required to be held for the year 1992/93. If, for some reason, the data has been purged all is not lost the information can be obtained from the PMF up until the first payroll run of 1992/93. A program will be included with Global 2000 Payroll V6.0B to extract this information but it will not be performed automatically by the upgrade. If the above still leaves you unsure please fax the Hotline to obtain a more detailed explanation or ensure that your users do not purge data and wait for the release note for Global 2000 Payroll V6.0B which will provide a detailed explanation. Changes to Payroll announced in March 1992 Budget ************************************************* We understand that all changes to computerised payroll systems announced in the budget are not applicable until 18th May 1992.
