Do you HAVE to update to the latest Sage Payroll version?

SUGGESTED

Do you HAVE to update to the latest Sage Payroll version at year-end? We are currently on Sage 2019 Payroll version 2.21.0. Payroll version 2.22 is available to download....do you have to update before running the first payroll of 2022?

Another question: we are still in version 2.21 Sage & has not prompted me to update the latest tax tables for 2022 yet. I have closed the prior year/quarter payroll module and changed the payroll module date to 1/1/2022 but no prompts came up for payroll tax updates or tax tables.....

Thank you in advance! (I feel like I'm the only one working on year-end today!!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Relaxed
