We want to help you avoid extra work and costs at the end of the first quarter (Q1). Using the final payroll of the quarter to process additional corrections or adjustments will save time and the costs of running extra supplemental payrolls. Here’s what you need to know:

• Submit all Q1 payrolls by Friday, March 28, to ensure timely payment and avoid late fees.
• Payrolls processed with tax liabilities after Friday, March 28, may result in late agency payments, resulting in penalties and interest you’d be responsible for.
• Payrolls submitted for Q1 after March 28 should use the Monday, March 31 pay date. Cases for quarter-end assistance must be submitted by March 31 to ensure assistance before the deadline.
• The final day to process Q1 2025 adjustments is Thursday, April 3.

Here’s what you can do to prepare:

1. Begin your quarter-end checklist now:
   • For UKG Ready^® customers: (readyConnect icon > My Topics).
   • For UKG Dimensions HCM customers: Review the Quarter-End Guide.
2. Confirm your Payroll and Primary Contact information in the UKG system
3. Update missing Tax IDs by submitting a case in the UKG Community™ and attaching documentation with agency-issued IDs
4. Ensure any payrolls in a “Closed” status are submitted or deleted. Any remaining payrolls in an “Open” status must be deleted.
5. Review your data, including the Tax Wage Details Report, data validation reports, multiple worksite reporting and Social Security numbers.
6. Process any reconciliation payrolls needed to calculate accurate unemployment tax for rates changed in Ready after your first 2025 payroll.
7. Once your last regular/supplemental payroll for the quarter is complete, sign off the quarter.

Information to help you stay on track can be found in our UKG Payroll Services Resource Center. Instructions for running quarter-end audit reports can be found in the UKGPS Quarter-End Guide, as well as our Data Validation Reports recording.
