The application displays an error message to prevent you from submitting EPS in the following cases:

• If no pay runs have been committed for the tax month.
• If some, but not all, pay runs have been committed for a tax month.
• If the current tax month has not ended yet. You can only submit EPS for the current tax month after the month period end date and onward. For example, tax month 02 has a period end date of 5 June 2019. As such the earliest EPS submission date is now 6 June 2019. This is to prevent you from submitting an EPS out of chronological order from the FPS file.
