S-1298 - Reopening Periodic Events

Periodic event. This event layout reopens a closed period for update. Submit this event if certain payroll or payment information corrections (such as retroactive payroll calculation, complementary payment, and so on) or new information relating to movement needs to be reported to the government for a period that is already closed. This event must be transmitted and accepted by the government before any rectifications can be sent.

Suppose that you create an event to send in corrections to payroll calculations that were submitted earlier for a competency period. If an S-1299 event is already reported to close this period, and the event (the one to use to send corrections) does not have the Allowed after period closed option enabled, you need to submit an S-1298 event to first reopen the closed period.

When the S-1298 event is selected to run on the eSocial Period Controls Page for a specified period, period type, and list of companies, the system checks to make sure that for each selected company and period, a receipt number from the government for a previously submitted S-1299 event already exists. After the S-1298 event is created, reprocess the event that has the corrections. Lastly, submit the S-1299 event to close the period again. If the receipt number of a submitted S-1299 event for that period is not found, no S-1298 event is created.

Review the log file for a list of companies and competency periods that were processed successfully, as well as errors or issues that were identified during the process run.
