The blackout period prevents employees from changing the delivery method of their annual statements during a specific period of time. This allows your school time to prepare and deliver printed statements. For example, you wouldn’t want an employee to change to printed statements after the printed statements for that year had already been generated.
On the employee’s Annual Statements page, if the blackout period is in effect (i.e., today’s date falls in the blackout period), employees do not have the option to edit their delivery method. A message displays to let the employee know the blackout period is in effect and when they will be able to make changes.
