How do I update an employee's Social Security number? (Employees)

Employees

Update an employee's Social Security number in the Payroll application.

Updating an employee's Social Security number in the Payroll application

1. Open Connect Payroll > Employees > Modify Existing Employees.

2. Use the Social Security Number box to enter the employee's Social Security number. Do not key the dashes. Example: 123456789 instead of 123-45-6789

3. Click Save (CTRL+S).

The employee's Social Security number is updated in the Employee table in the Payroll application.

What if I'm making this change to update the employee's W-2 information? You'll need to update the employee's Social Security number in the W-2 Employees table in the Government Reporting application or you'll need to reconvert the year-end tax information to use the updated information to generate W-2s. Remember, reconverting the year-end tax information will replace all of the changes that you've made to the W-2 Employees table.
