Payroll Rollover is an important part of preparing for the following year. It allows you to roll Payroll and Human Resources information from the current year into the next year. While rolling data, you will have the advantage of updating and changing information without having to navigate to other screens. The Rollover screens also includes the ability to manage Increment Steps and the ability to Change Step Pay.
Rollover/Maint
1. From the Payroll menu, click Rollover.
2. Click the Rollover/Maint tab, which houses the majority of information and data to be rolled over into the next year.
3. The Working Year defaults to the current year. Since you are working on rolling current information, you will want to stay on the current year to complete the rollover.
The Rollover/Maint tab displays a chart with three columns: Rolled, Module, and Click To Choose.
When the Module has been successfully rolled, you will see a green check mark in the Rolled column indicating that that section is complete.
4. To begin working on a specific Module, click the orange arrow in the Click To Choose column.
The Modules are set up in a specific order; therefore, you will have to start with Holidays and work your way down to Increment Experience. If you try to skip around and start with Slots/Steps, for example, you will not see the option to Roll to 20XX/XX or to save any changes made. The Modules have a logical progression--you cannot roll Calendars without rolling/setting up the Holidays first because the Holidays module is directly linked to Calendars. Also note that any holidays not selected will not appear in Calendars--this applies to other data in the subsequent modules.
Holidays
1. To begin rolling, click the orange arrow next to Holidays. This will open another chart with five columns: Select, Title, Type, Beg Date, and End Date.
2. You can make changes to the Title of the Holiday, Type, and Dates. It will be required to change the dates to correspond with the following year.
Warning: If you don’t change all dates to correspond with the following year, you will be unable to roll selected Holidays. All selected Holiday dates must be changed.
3. If there are specific Holidays you do not wish to change or roll into the next year, clear the selection by unchecking the box in the Select column.
a. Notice the Select All and Unselect All buttons at the top of the screen. Click these buttons when making selections to roll.
4. Click Increment Years to automatically change the Beg Date and End Date to the next year. For example, if it reads 07/03/2020, it would change to 07/30/2021.
5. Click Roll to 20XX/XX when all your changes have been made. Note: Some of the dates may be in red; they will remain in red until clicking Continue or updating the date.
6. Once complete, you will see the green check mark next to Holidays in the Rolled column.
Calendars
1. Continue in the order of the listed modules and click the orange arrow next to Calendars. This will open another chart with 12 columns: Select, Calendar, Start Date, Days, Mon-Sun, and Holidays.
2. All of the columns can be edited. The most important column to update is the Start Date column. All of these dates must be changed to reflect the new year.
If you do not change the dates to correspond with the next fiscal year, you will be unable to roll selected Calendars.
3. The number of Days in specific contracts may also need to be altered along with the Calendar title. To edit either field, click on the title or number and make changes.
4. Be sure the correct days of the week are selected for each Calendar contract. The options shown here are Mon-Sun. To clear the selection for specific days, uncheck the box. To select a specific day not yet selected, check the box.
5. Check that the correct Holidays are selected for each Calendar. Keep in mind that the Holidays will change based on information provided upon rolling Holidays in the last step. Click the blue arrow for the pull-down to see which Holidays have been selected. Notice that more than one selection can be made here.
Click the Check all visible link to select all listed holidays. Click Clear selected to clear selections made on any selected holidays.
6. If there are specific Calendars you do not wish to change or roll into the next year, clear the selection by unchecking the box in the Select column.

Pay Types
1. Continue in the order of the modules and click the orange arrow next to Pay Types.
This will open another chart with 12 columns: Roll Select, Pay Type, Calendar, Annualized Hourly, Overtime Exempt, Number of Checks, Service Months, Service Days, Paid Months, Hrs Per Day, Date Group, and Last Work Day.
2. All of the columns can be edited except Pay Type. The most important column to update is the Last Work Day column. All of these dates must be changed to reflect the new year.
The Pay Types module includes a button titled Increment End Dates. Clicking this button will automatically change the year of the Last Work Day to the next year. For example, if it reads 06/12/2017, it would change to 06/12/2018.
If you do not change the dates to correspond with the 2017/2018 year, you will be unable to roll selected Calendars.
3. While the Pay Type cannot be changed on this specific chart, if necessary, you can clear the selection by unchecking the Select checkbox.
Although the Pay Type cannot be edited from the Yearly Setting section, if you scroll down the page to the Overall Settings section, you can edit the Code, Title, Normal Tax Frequency, Salary, and Status of each Pay Type. Changes made here will appear after rolling is complete. Refresh the page to see the changes.

5. If the Pay Type is Overtime Exempt, select the check box in this column. Depending on calendar changes, the Number of Checks may also change. To change the number, click the text field. Same applies for Service Months, Service Days, Paid Months, and Hrs Per Day.
6. The Date Group most likely will not change. However, as stated above, the Last Work Day must be updated.
A lot of the information built into columns such as Pay Type and Date Group pull from data set up by the district. To navigate to these screens, go to the Setup menu, click District Codes. Pay Type can be found under the Pay Types tab. Date Group can be found under the Payroll Groups tab. For additional setup information, navigate to the Payroll menu, click Maintenance. The Main Tables tab will show the Pay Types module.
7. Notice the Select All and Unselect All buttons at the top of the screen. Click these buttons when making selections to roll.
8. Once all of your edits have been made and all of the Last Works Days have been changed, click Roll to 20XX/XX. Note: If you already clicked this button before all dates were updated, the button may read Continue instead.
All Pay Types must be rolled regardless of whether or not changes have been made.
If you use the filters to focus the data and try to roll, only records displayed after filtering will roll. For example, if Pay Types originally displayed 200 records, and you use the filters feature on a specific Pay Type, which only returns 10 records, then select all and roll, only those 10 selected records will roll.
