⚠️Company directors upgraded part way through the year: The director will receive the full allowance again unless a setting is changed in TELUS Farm Payroll. This must be done before the first payroll. Find out more.
⚠️My ePay Window: To avoid creating a duplicate My ePay Window account and before you publish. The support team will have to configure your account to accept a connection from TELUS Farm Payroll. Contact the migrations team at farmplansupport@telusagcg.com to start the process. This should be at least 7 working days before you publish using My ePay Window.
⚠️Pension Year to dates: These will need to be added to the employee pension in the employee record. Employee record > Pension > Click edit pension > Pension YTDs > Edit Opening Balances.
⚠️Average holiday calculation: The upgrade tool brings across the cumulative values, this is not enough to calculate the average holiday rate. In order for the system to do this you will need to add in pay history.
