Answer
In the payday filing wizard, Lightning Payroll can filter the available pays by processed date before it builds the Employment Information submission.
Why the processed date matters
When you choose a processed date, Lightning Payroll only includes the selected completed pays that match that processed date. This helps keep each Employment Information submission aligned to the correct filing batch.
If the wizard stops on this step
- Please select a processed date to continue means a processed date is required before the submission can be prepared.
- No pays match the selected processed date means the current pay selection does not line up with the date you chose.
Practical tip
If you are filing a normal batch of completed pays, choose the processed date used for that filing group, then select the pays that belong to that same batch. If you are lodging a nil return instead, Lightning Payroll can prepare the return without matching pays.
