Employee's with only STANDARD_READONLY_USER privilege, will NOT be able to see/run W2 Archive Individual and W2 Mailable Forms. The user will need granted, USPS_STANDARD_FEDERAL_CREATE privilege, to see/run all W2 Report Options.

W2 Archive Individual Forms is used to schedule a job (Job Scheduler) and produce a file in a folder in Utilities/File Archive/W2 Archive for the year being reported. This folder will contain each employee’s W2 file as a separate pdf file. This file should be created after the user has verified that they have finalized W2 processing and can be used by 3^rd party vendors(Kiosk). It is our recommendation you reach out to the 3rd party vendor to verify their acceptable file format.

Users will need to make sure they use the same SORT order that they used when processing the Mailable W2 forms. This will ensure that the control numbers that are generated, match the printed forms and XML file. W2 Archive Individual Forms are NOT in Medicare/Non-Medicare order (just the sort order selected in the input screen).

An employee's Compensations Job Status should NOT be changed until both XML and Archive files has been completed. This will insure both files have the same sort order in place.
