Summary
This article will outline how to process the employee purge file given to you by ADP.Note: It is very important that this be done in conjunction with the employee purge in ADP.
You must decrypt the ADP '.yep' file. (Technically, you should contact ADP, have them tell you what the file name is and where it will be located, and then have them walk you through the process.) From the Utilities menu in ADP, choose Decrypt File. This will launch a box similar to this:

Using this utility, you will need to browse to the ADP file and select it. Once selected, it will populate both From and To lines. On the To line, change the extension to ".txt". Click OK. (You can save it to the same location.)

Now from within TW, go to the Utilities menu and choose Year End Purge.

The utility will look like this:

Browse to and select the file you just created using the ADP Decrypt utility. Once you have the file selected, change the date if you wish, and then click the purge button. This will sync your ADP database with TW.
Note: This will enter the date selected into the Employee's Purge Date field on the Other tab in TW. If you get to a point where you need to pay this individual in the future, you will need to remove the Purge Date. When you do so, the system will display a prompt as seen below. Choose YES. This individual will now be treated as a new hire in ADP. (If you are using Direct Deposit, they will be pre-noted again.)
