Genesys Software Systems, Inc., the Methuen, Mass.-based provider of software and outsourcing services for payroll, benefits, and human resource management, today announced that it has successfully completed year-end processing for customers of its Year-End Services (YES) program. This means that hundreds of companies took advantage of the time and cost savings provided by using Genesys to produce their W-2s, 1099s, and similar year-end reporting documents.

"Genesys possesses the resources and expertise to easily manage year-end processing for our customers," said Ruth Ladner, vice president, Genesys Software Systems. "As hundreds of our customers demonstrated, this is an excellent alternative to using their own in-house staff for year-end processing, since Genesys can handle it quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively."

Say YES to Genesys

Customers rely on the Genesys YES program to handle the time- and resource-consuming annual tasks of processing and laser-printing W-2s and 1099s. Genesys guarantees the punctual delivery of year-end payroll forms to employees and retirees. The YES program includes:

Affordable, on-time production and shipment of W-2 and 1099 forms Employee forms laser-printed crisply and clearly on self-mailers Mailing of printed forms directly to employees and retirees, or return of forms for distribution by the customer The Genesys YES program accepts output files directly from the customer's payroll system. YES printing is done with neat, clear laser technology, so all copies (for employees, pensioners, and government regulators) are 100-percent legible.

YES output is handled in the high-volume Genesys production facility, and the utmost attention is paid to the privacy and security of customers' confidential payroll information. Genesys attends to every production detail to ensure that customers' printouts are shipped on time and delivered in the fashion preferred by the customer.

Customers Benefit from Genesys' Expertise and Production Power

"Once I send in the tape, I don't have to worry about it anymore," said Tom Tripp, payroll manager for Delta Dental of California, a Genesys customer. "Genesys turns the forms around very quickly-including processing, printing, and shipping. It's up to us whether we deliver the W-2s ourselves or have Genesys mail them directly to employees."

According to Mark Sheppie, manager of payroll for Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) of San Francisco, based in Oakland, California, "Using the YES program from Genesys means our own employees can attend to other aspects of their jobs rather than working 'round the clock to get out the W-2s and related reports. It's an efficient way of handling year-end processing."

YES Options

Genesys offers a range of optional extras to the YES program, including:

Hard copies and/or files on tape for taxing authorities (federal IRS/SSA, state, and/or local) IRS W-2c (corrected W-2) forms CD-ROM output for easy storage and retrieval Special mail-handling to ensure prompt delivery.

"Genesys processes our W-2EEs and W-2ERs, and produces our SSA and state tapes," said Mark Sheppie of BART. "We find that all the services, including the 'extras', are completed accurately and on time."

"Genesys provides us all our backup documentation on one CD-ROM," said Tom Tripp of Delta Dental. "It's very convenient, very easy to access these archives when the need arises."
