How do I print or email End-of-Year Statements to all my families?

There are two groups of families to whom you’ll want to send end-of-year statements: “visible” families with currently enrolled children, and “hidden” families whose children were enrolled at some point during the year, but no longer attend. More recent versions of Procare make this simpler, so you can catch both groups at once, while for older versions it’s better to print or email each group separately.

What changed about W4s for 2020?

The Federal Government redesigned the W4 form that employees fill out in order to better determine the amount to withhold from each paycheck. In the short-term, Procare will continue to support the W4 format used in 2019 and prior (as allowed by the IRS). If you have new employees, we recommend using the 2019 W4 for now.
