Payroll Item Mismatch Utility	New Feature	This is a new Utility program in the menu, visible to Admin and GM users by default. This is a one-time fix utility that corrects two scenarios: one is that Classic allowed these mismatches to occur and the other was a bug with Mass Load that was fixed with 6.32.0 that allowed users to add mismatched payroll items if used improperly. The procedure is that they go to (Utilities > Payroll Item Mismatch Utility) and it will show them any payroll items that are mismatched. If the district is not affected by this problem, the grid will be empty. The grid also, by default, only shows mismatches related to non-archived employees. It is optional to fix the mismatches for archived employees as it may not affect reporting or processing, particularly if the mismatch was caused while still using Classic.
Show Profile	Show Profile (USPSWEB)	User Profile will give detailed information about the user account currently logged in
Tax Estimator	TAXTAB	This program proves helpful to employees wanting to know the impact of tax related changes on their pay amount (e.g. changing exemptions or withholding amounts).
