Version 11 Payroll

[fbcingram]

Just upgraded from PC 10 to PC11...love all the changes, but having a problem with the Payroll module. When I converted, I answered all questions asked and completed the tax tables, but when I processed payroll, the system entered the amount of employer social security and employer medicare on only some of the employees, even though there was liability for all and the appropriate pay item was in each record. Nothing I do seems to make a difference...has anyone else had this problem?

[tborgal]

Are you using the same payroll item numbers for each employee for the deductions and do they show any numbers in the pay items list in the Maintain List of Employees screen?

[fbcingram]

Yes. to both questions, Tom. I'm using the same pay item numbers for the deductions for each employee. On the Maintain Employee List screen, however, the pay item numbers and descriptions are listed on each employee, but some have amounts filled in and some don't. ?

[tborgal]

It is only the employer liability FICA and Medicare that are not showing up for each employee? Or is it both the employee and employer amounts that are not showing up?

I have tried to recreate this and can not. If the check mark to the left of each item is not checked that item will not process when the payroll is processed, but the amount will still be showing in the List of Employees Pay Items window.

Anything else that you can think of that might be different between the employees that work and those that don't might help here.

[fbcingram]

The only amounts that are not showing up are the employer social security and medicare and only on some employees...others work fine...boxes are checked on all. On the problem ones, the employee FICA and Medicare has an amount, but the employer pay items, while checked, show $0.00. I'll see if I can identify the differences in employees. Thanks for trying.

I am not sure if this will make any difference or not but make sure you have the most current MR. You should have a program date of 1/25/2010.

I just had the same thing happen this morning.

1. No, I don't have the latest MR. I will as soon as everyone leaves for the day.

2. Yes: I am using the same payroll item numbers for each employee; it is the employer liability FICA & Medicare; it is also our state tax; it is only on hourly employees...even our Nursery Director (her salaried Director pay/taxes appear, but not her nursery worker hours/taxes). Another difference is my Nursery workers have a different code "N". But they do pull up correctly when I Process Payroll paygroup "N".

3. Since the nursery workers don't have a default number of hours, all their information in Maintain Employee List is 0. I just put 5 hours in one to test it & it still omits Employer Liab's & State tax.

I just finally figured the taxes manually today. I'll see what happens after I install the MR.

Did I read that right? You have one employee with a Salary income and Hourly income, and the hourly income is not being correctly calculated?

[Kristi]

Yes.
The Finance Committe budgets:
1. The nursery co-ordinator as salaried with responsibilities, but not set "office" hours. Item #9
2. The nursery workers are hourly and called on an as needed basis. Item #10

Yes, our co-ordinator does supervise the other workers & maintains the needs of the nursery. Yes, she also tends to the babies & toddlers as needed.
Both items #9 & #10 appear on her check.

oops, I didn't finish.

Yes, the salaried income, item #9,appeared with it's taxes for employee, employer & state.
I calculated them and they were correct.

The hourly income, item #10, appeared without it's employer or state taxes.

The total income was correct, but I had to calculate the employer & state tax totals.
