Clear Monthly Totals
Use this option to reset cumulative payroll amounts for the current month. You can select individual employees or reset these values for all employees as needed.
Menu Path: Human Resources > Periodic Routines > Periodic Processing > Clear Monthly Totals
Running the Clear Monthly Totals Option
The Clear Monthly totals option changes the following month-to-date balances to zero for the employees selected:
Earnings | Deduction/Benefit Amounts |
Taxes | Deduction Salaries |
This option is the same as the Clear Monthly Balances option used during pay run processing. You must run one of these options after the last payroll of the most recent month and before the first payroll of the new month. For more information, refer to Clear Balances.
If you do not clear the totals before running a payroll in a new month, your month-to-date balances will be incorrect.
If the start of a new month also begins a new quarter, you can use the Clear Quarterly Totals option instead. Besides resetting quarterly balances, this option also clears your monthly totals. For more information, refer to Clear Quarterly Totals.
