Employee W2’s#

High Line is pleased to announce a new and more efficient method for Employee W2s is available.

Introducing BEW2 which allows employees to print their W2’s faster/easier. This solution is more performant than the existing REW2, as it does not utilize the Windward report server.

The BEW2 will produce current year W2’s only – if you’d like your employees to be allowed to print prior years, REW2 can be utilized – i.e. label the menu “W2 History”. The BEW2 output of the W2 form will be in a pdf format.

This function can be added to the employee pay menu.

Set Up/Implementation
For organizations that wish to use the BEW2 process, the implementation steps below must be followed:

  1. The new BEW2 function has been created from seed data supplied in the Year End Release.
  2. Add the BEW2 function to the appropriate menu and provide execution rights to the respective role and/or user.
  3. Update the Dashboard.war (Logi) with the following:
  • Copy the file 'W2-YYYY.pdf’ (where YYYY is the Year ex: W2-2020.pdf) to:
    • /home/Oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/user_projects/domains/’domain name’/servers/SelfService/stage/Dash/Dash.war/_SupportFiles

  • Copy the file ‘W2Print.lgx’ to:
    • /home/Oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/user_projects/domains/’domain name’/servers/SelfService/stage/Dash/Dash.war/_Definitions/_Templates
