This optional system will allow for the combining of multiple payroll companies into a single company for Federal and State reporting purposes.  

For example:  Two payroll companies with the same EIN # can be combined for printing 941's, W-2, etc.  The combined payroll company is intended for reporting only.  You will not be able run payroll cycles or change history in the combined company.  All changes must be made in the individual companies prior to being combined.  

 

NOTE:  Payroll combine does not relate to G/L combining companies.  It only combines payroll information for printing reports.  If using both Payroll combine and G/L consolidation, you must set up the Payroll combine first.
