Identifying deceased employees

Use this procedure to identify deceased employees for W-2 purposes. You perform this procedure if an employee dies during a W-2 reporting year.

To identify deceased employees

  1. Access Employee (HR11).
  2. Select the Personal tab.
  3. Select Yes in the Deceased field to identify the employee as deceased.

    Only identify employees as deceased for the year you run your W-2 forms. For example, if you create your 2000 W-2 forms in January 2001, do not flag the employees who passed away in January 2001 as deceased until AFTER you run your 2000 W-2 forms.
