Testing year-end parameters for Releve slips

Verifying year-end parameters

Before you process your Releve slips, we recommend that you run Year End Parameter-Copy/Delete (PR127) in Report mode to verify the parameters that Payroll will use to process Releve slips.

You can also run Year-End Parameter Report (PR227) to print a list of the dependant process levels, along with an indicator of whether the dependant process level parameters are different from the report entity parameters.

Running trial Releve slips

We recommend that you first run Releve Slips (PR243) without printing the slips to identify any potential problems. You can run PR243 (with Update Employee Slip = 1 No) as often as necessary because it is not an update program. You can run it after your first payroll cycle of the new year.

The PR243 Update Employee Slip parameter field should be set to 1-No on all RL-1 and RL-2 test runs. The field value should be changed to 2-Yes on the FINAL original or amended run used to create the slips that are distributed to employees for filing. Flagging Update Employee Slip to 2-Yes will result in the employee's slip number being stored to PR11.4 for potential future use in creating amended or canceled RL-1/RL-2 slips.

An error report is created if any errors are recognized by Payroll in the Releve report. Review the error report and correct any errors. After you create the trial run, check the employees' Releve slips for errors. If there are errors, make the necessary adjustments to the year-end data and the year-end parameters before you print your Releve slips.

Running trial Releve electronic file

We recommend that you run Releve Magnetic Media (PR244) and review the file to identify any potential problems before running a final file to submit. Because PR244 is not an update program, you can run it as often as needed. You can run it after you close out the payroll year and after your first payroll cycle of the new year. If there are any errors in your year-end data, an error report is created. Review the error report and correct any errors before you submit the file.

The PR244 Update Employee Slip parameter field should be set to 1-No on all RL-1 and RL-2 test runs. The field value should be changed to 2-Yes on the FINAL original or amended run used to create the RL-1 or RL-2 XML file that is sent to Revenu Quebec. Flagging Update Employee Slip to 2-Yes will result in the employee's XML slip number being stored to PR11.4 for potential future use in creating amended or canceled RL-1/RL-2 XML files.
