Why is there a difference between the EMP201 generated in the month in which it was paid and the EMP201 generated for the same month now?

Possible reasons for the differences between the two EMP201s may include the following: 
  1. If there is a "DRAFT" watermark on the original EMP201, it means that payment was made while the run was open and the EMP201 was not finalised. EMP201 payments should only be made once the payroll run for which it was generated is finalised and closed.
  2. Financial data may have changed if runs were opened and closed after the EMP201 was finalised, which forced a recalculation on the financial data that was declared. You may generate a new set of payroll reports and company them to the original reports generated in the affected month, tto identify the source of discrepancies between the EMP201 reports.
