Consent for USA Year-End Forms

In USA, you must secure employee consent before you can substitute self-service viewing and printing of electronic year-end forms in place of printed forms. Among other requirements, you must also provide the opportunity for employees to withdraw their consent.

U.S. employees who do not have a valid consent on file are still able to access online forms, but they must also be provided with hard copies.

This table describes the availability of USA year-end forms by employee consent status:

Forms

The employee can also view and print the year-end form through self-service.

Consent for Canadian Year-End Forms

In Canada, consent requirements depend on the form and the year:

  • T4 and RL-1 forms for 2017 and beyond do not require employee consent to be viewed and printed through self-service.

  • T4 and RL-1 forms prior to 2017 require employee consent to be viewed and printed through self-service. Employees who want to view forms for these years can provide their consent through self-service.

  • The T4A form for 2022 and beyond does not require employee consent to be viewed and printed through self-service.

  • The T4A form prior to 2022 requires employee consent to be viewed and printed through self-service. Employees who want to view forms for these years can provide their consent through self-service.

  • The RL-2 form requires employee consent to be viewed and printed through self-service. If no consent is provided, the form must be provided in paper format.

  • Employees must be given the opportunity to withdraw their consent.

This table describes the availability of Canadian year-end forms depending on the form, the year, and the employee’s consent status:

Managing Consent

To manage the process of obtaining consent from employees, the Payroll for North America and ePay applications provide the following:

  • Setup pages where administrators enable or disable self-service year-end form functionality, enter text for consent emails and notifications to employees, and specify forms and other options.

  • Self-service pages where employees grant and withdraw consent to receive electronic year-end forms.

  • Workflow email confirmation of an employee's current consent status after each online consent status update.

  • An online page and a report that administrators use to monitor employee consent status.

  • A reset process that enables payroll administrators to reset the consent status for all employees, or a list of employees identified by the selected method. After the reset process is run, impacted employees will receive year-end forms in paper.

    For example, use this process to reset the consent status of terminated employees that are identified by a group ID to ensure the printing of paper year-end forms.

  • PDF year-end form creation processes that generate year-end forms and slips.

    Note: Payroll for North America uses BI Publisher to create year-end forms in PDF format for printing and to display the year-end forms in self-service. You must use the correct PDF year-end form creation process in conjunction with the ePay consent functionality. The processes print the forms only for employees who have not consented to electronic forms.

  • Workflow email notification that year-end forms are ready for self-service viewing.

Consent and Form Notification

The system supports the delivery of notifications to employees when:

  • Consent to receive electronic form is granted by the employee.

  • Consent to receive electronic form is withdrawn by the employee.

  • Consent is reset by the administrator.

  • Tax form is available for viewing (when the Availability Notification button is selected on the Year End Form Options Page.

Note: Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of all notifications in one central location.

Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications.

Notifications delivered with HCM Image 47 or later must use Notification Composer.

For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Understanding Notification Composer.

Initial Employee Notification About Consent

After you set up the consent processing, you must use your normal method of employee notification to inform employees that they can enter the self-service consent page to grant consent. The ePay application does not provide functionality for the initial notification to employees.

Consent Reset Due to Termination

The system does not automatically reset the consent status of terminated employees. The payroll administrator must run the Reset Form Consent process for terminated employees to ensure that paper forms will be printed at year end.

Note: The automatic notification of reset status is likely to be undeliverable to terminated employees. Use a standard procedure to notify the terminated employee of reset consent status, such as including the notification in the termination package.

See year-end processing instructions issued with the tax update posted on My Oracle Support in October each year. Select the Payroll for North America tab to access tax updates and other information delivered for each update image.

This topic discusses employee consent for sharing their tax data with tax preparation software providers.

In Payroll for North America, payroll administrators can run the Create W-2 Import File process (TAX960TI) to create files with W-2 or W-2c data for employees, and send them to tax preparation software providers for tax filing purposes. By default, all employees are included. The system delivers configuration options to provide employees the option to decide if they want to share their tax data through consent.

When the Display Third-Party Data Sharing Consent in Self Service option is enabled on the Payroll for NA Installation Page, employees can withdraw or give their consent to share their tax data on the W-2/W-2c Consent Page in Employee Self-Service. For employees who have withdrawn their consent, the TAX960TI process excludes their W-2 or W-2c data from the import files created, therefore the data will not be shared with any tax preparation software provider.

Note: The default consent status for employees is Consent Set/Reset by Employer to Include in Import File.

For hires and rehires, the default consent status is determined by the Exclude W-2 from Export File option on the Payroll for NA Installation page. If cleared, the default consent status is Consent Set/Reset by Employer to Include in Import File. If selected, the default consent status becomes Consent Set/Reset by Employer to Exclude from Import File.

Administrators can update the consent status of employees in bulk using the reset process on the Reset Export Consent Status Page. They can choose to exclude the W-2 or W-2c data of identified employees from the import files, or include the data in the files.

Similar to managing consent for year-end forms, administrators have the options to review the consent statuses of employees individually on an online page, or collectively in a report that is generated by the TAX901CS program.

Consent Notification

The system triggers the delivery of notifications (with Notification Composer enabled) to employees when one of these consent changes occurs:

  • Consent to share W2/W-2c data with tax preparation software provider is granted by the employee.

  • Consent to share W2/W-2c data with tax preparation software provider is withdrawn by the employee.

  • Consent is reset by the administrator to include employee W2/W-2c data in import files.

  • Consent is reset by the administrator to exclude employee W2/W-2c data from import files.

After a consent notification is sent successfully, the administrator can view the updated data export consent status and notification status of the employee on the Review W-2 Export Consent Page.

Use the Tax Form BI Publisher Options page to (PY_YE_XMLP_OPTION) to specify the tax year, the tax form, the report definitions, and the URL for the table in which the XML data is stored for producing the self-service forms.
