Payroll Year End Processing 2008 – Now a vLab

For the first time we’re offering Payroll Year End Processing 2008 as a 1-day, hands-on vLab for those who don’t have the time or resources to travel. If you enjoy the classroom experience and like to meet and network with other Lawson clients, we will also have traditional classroom sessions scheduled in several of our regional offices to make sure everyone who needs this critical training is able to enroll. You can choose from eight vLabs sessions, or seven classroom sessions.

Because you only run the payroll close and issue W-2s once a year, it’s easy to forget what the fields mean and how they tie back to the federal and state forms. We recommend you follow best practices and send at least one person from your Payroll Department back for a refresher each year. Do you have a new employee in your payroll department who could benefit from this training? You’ll learn how to process the year-end close within the payroll application, understand the balancing procedures within Lawson related to taxes and wages, and much more.

Payroll Year End Processing 2008 is normally scheduled only in December, but this year we added a session on the day before Thanksgiving to give you a head start. Choose the session that works best for you and register now!
