How do I handle Year-End Processing (YEP) if I've already processed the December payroll without doing it, and do I need to roll back the payroll?

Introduction

If you've already processed December payroll but haven’t completed Year-End Processing (YEP), you still have options. This article explains how you can handle Leave Year Processing (LYP) without needing to roll back payroll—unless you want to include leave encashment in December payroll.

This guide helps HR and payroll admins understand the processing sequence and choose the best course based on their year-end priorities.

If December payroll is already processed

1. You can complete LYP without rolling back payroll.
   This is valid as long as you don’t need to include leave encashment in December payroll.

2. If leave encashment for December is required, then:

   • You must roll back December payroll

   • Add the encashment amount

   • Then reprocess the payroll before proceeding with YEP

Options & Variants

• Leave encashment not needed in December payroll
  → No rollback required. Proceed with YEP directly.

• Leave encashment must reflect in December payroll
  → Rollback is necessary to accommodate this.

Notes, Tips, Important, Warnings

Tip: You don’t have to delay Year-End Processing if leave encashment isn’t a priority for December.

Important: Always review your leave and payroll policies before finalizing year-end activities. This helps avoid rework and ensures accurate records.

Note: Proper planning helps align payroll and leave processing timelines for a smoother year-end experience.
