Description of Issue
Unemployment wages are calculating as negative. I can't figure out where the system is getting that number from.
Context
- Payroll
- State Reporting
- Unemployment
- ICESA
- Tax and Wage reporting
- Employment Wage and Detail reporting
- Contribution and Wage reporting
Cause
- Void payroll that crossed quarters
- Math
Resolution
Total Unemployment Wages are calculated as:
- The sum of Gross amounts from Pay codes in Employee Accumulators for the reporting Quarter/Year that have not been defined on the Generate screen as Exclude.
- Minus Employee Amounts from Deduction codes in Employee Accumulators for the reporting Quarter/Year that have been defined on the Generate screen as Exclude.
- Plus Employer Amounts from Deduction codes in Employee Accumulators for the reporting Quarter/Year that have been defined on the Generate screen as Include.
This calculation occurs for any employee with the Unemployment Tax option selected in the Employee Master, that also has Quarterly Accumulator values.
Additional Information
Easiest way to reconcile the reported value is to export Quarterly Accumulators for the affected employee and take the steps above.
To create the Quarterly Accumulators Export:
- Open the Accumulators Report program
- Select Search
- Enter:
- The Employee Number in the Employee field
- The reporting year in the Year field
- Q in the Frequency field
- The reporting Quarter in the Cycle field
- Select Accept
- Select Browse
- Select Excel
