|---|---|
| Finance, Payroll | ❏ W-2 preparation: balance payroll for each month, quarter, and the year. ❏ Complete your LEA's Payroll calendar year-end tasks. ❏ Complete the time and effort documentation for employees who are paid wholly or partially through federal grants, and who may use semi-annual certifications rather than monthly records of time and effort. Perform any required payroll adjustments. ❏ During the holiday break, monitor incoming mail for unemployment filings in order to allow sufficient time for the LEA to respond. |
