To correctly update payroll records for employees in the U.S., you must process those employees through a complete payroll cycle. Though the steps of the payroll cycle are the same for all supported countries, there are additional steps, features, and procedures that you can use to process country-specific information for employees in the U.S. This table lists country-specific processes for the U.S.:
