Pgm: PYW2MAP – W2/T4 Parameters Maintenance; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Utilities > W2 Mapping Parameters
The W2/T4 Parameters Maintenance screen is used to map fields from standard forms (e.g., W-2, T4, T4A, ROE, ADP, etc.) to details from CMiC's Payroll system. The US and International Payroll modules come with a standard setup for each of these forms, but it is possible to make modifications and additions to any nonstandard detail. This screen allows for the grouping of as many fields per box number as required and is also used to select what information is printed on the selected form.
For up to date reporting requirements, please consult your local tax authority.
For more information on W-2 mapping parameters, please refer to Greenshades - Step 3-1: CMiC Setup for Integration with Greenshades - W-2 Reporting Setup.
