Notify system administration.

Procedure for System Administrators

Certain payroll-relevant information is linked to the payroll units (for
example, UVG contribution percentages). Using the following examples,
check whether a change is really necessary.
You have completed payroll for the year 2000 and want to adjust your
payroll units as of 2001 for an organizational change that has taken
place in your company:
In this case, you do not change the feature assigned to the application
key, instead you create a new feature and delimit the feature assignment
in terms of time.
You have completed payroll for the year 2000 and now realize that the
assignment of employees to payroll units was incorrect. It was therefore
necessary to change the feature to enable the employees to be
classified. Check the following facts and proceed as described:
The change does not effect payroll; the changes are purely
organizational: You can use the annual report that has just been
created.
The change effects payroll; subject to the new assignment to payroll
units, other UVG contributions or insurance contributions, for example,
are calculated: It is thus necessary to perform retroactive accounting.
