The legislative release will incorporate the changes as per the standard requirements. This can potentially change amounts that you have processed in this period. It is essential to make a backup before running a legislative release. 

1. Make a backup of the current dataset.
   You can only run a Legislative release if all of your employees have a status of Not Processed. 
   • After completing a Payroll Run and paying employees, do a pay period update before proceeding to step 3.
   • After a Payroll Run, if you haven't paid employees, clear run flags before proceeding to step 3.
2. Go to File then Legislative release.
3. Click Next then Next on the backup screen.
4. Select Process then click Yes on all the prompts that come up.
   After the prompts, a progress indicator screen will appear. 
   • Legislative release can take time to run. It aligns all employees and their financial fields to the requirements of the system.
   • Don't end the task. 
5. Once the Legislative release is complete, click OK.
6. Cancel the Print To screen, or select a directory to print the changes to screen.
7. Click Finish.

TIP:  If you ran a clear run flags, you’ll need to re-do your payroll run. Verify the processed amounts and make payments if everything is correct.
