This is a known issues that has been posted quite a bit here.
Go into the Emerald admin, General, Billing Groups and set the
global option for each group on.

Did you just copy your original DB or did your update or change
anything the original? I'm not sure why testing 2.5 would cause a
problem on your original database, unless you accidently ran the
update on the 2.1 DB, it should not have changed. Go into the
Emerald 2.1 admin and make sure your pay periods are in tact. It
sounds like something changed them.
