EARLIER/EARLY

I don't understand EARLY / LATE and EARLIER /LATER in the sentences below:

1/ Earlier this year the company gave 2 million dallars bonus to workers for the Lunar New Year.

2/Late this month the hotel will reopen after 01 year of renovation.

3/Earlier Sunday , they held talks with Chian on bilateral ties

4/ Later that same afternoon , shots were fired from the forest

Is later interchangeable with late and is early interchangeable with earlier here ? What do they mean in the above sentences ?

Thanks in advance

EARLIER /LATER should be used only if there's more context indicating several events in sequence.
