  Enter Former Earnings: Make sure that the former earnings field is filled out correctly. This is often a required field when processing payroll for employees with tax card type 'L'.
  
  
  Validate Payroll Data: After making the necessary adjustments, validate the payroll data to ensure that all required fields are correctly filled out and that there are no other inconsistencies.
