Procedure for System Administration
Certain payroll-relevant information is linked to the payroll units (forexample, UVG contribution percentages). Using the following examples,check whether a change is really necessary.

• You have completed payroll for the year 2000 and want to adjust your
payroll units as of 2001 for an organizational change that has takenplace in your company:
In this case, you do not change the feature assigned to the applicationkey, instead you create a new feature and delimit the feature assignmentin terms of time.

• You have completed payroll for the year 2000 and now realize that the
assignment of employees to payroll units was incorrect. It was thereforenecessary to change the feature to enable the employees to beclassified. Check the following facts and proceed as described:
The change does not effect payroll; the changes are purelyorganizational: You can use the annual report that has just beencreated.
The change effects payroll; subject to the new assignment to payrollunits, other UVG contributions or insurance contributions, for example,are calculated: It is thus necessary to perform retroactive accounting.
