    • Lock Down date
    • Automatically advance date on Payroll Close
    • Timesheet Lockout

  2. Ensure that the Payroll Export Enhanced Task is referencing the correct plug-in. See Verifying the Payroll Export Enhanced Task plug-in.
  3. Change the Pay Group maintenance form to use the new pay group page. See Adjusting your Pay Group maintenance form.
