The accumulator gross verify evaluates the user defined time period and compares the existing gross in employee accumulators, against the calculated gross.
*Note: the accumulator gross verify should be run at the monthly frequency prior to running the yearly, and only for gross wages based deductions, like FICA, Medicare, or State and Federal Income taxes.
When generating a discrepancy, the Old Gross is pulled from the existing employee accumulator record. The New Gross is a calculated amount that pulls the employee's total pay for the defined time period, and applies the current payroll exceptions for each defined deduction on the accumulator gross verify screen to determine what portion of the total pay is subject to each defined deduction.
- If an employee does not generate into the verify, that would mean the existing gross (old gross) matches the calculated gross by the verify program (new gross), therefore no discrepancy record will be generated.
- If a record is generated, the existing gross from employee accumulators (old gross) does not match the calculated gross (new gross).
- When discrepancies are generated, you will want to review each payroll for the given employee of that given month.
- When reviewing a payroll:
- Did the deduction exist in payroll?
- Was the deduction taken?
- Was there a manual adjustment to the deduction?
- Did the employee reach the deduction limit?
- Were there any changes to the employee's pay?
- Were there any changes to the payroll exceptions?
- Were there any manual changes to the accumulator records?
- After reviewing each record generated by the accumulator gross verify you will Delete all records in which you acknowledge the old gross is correct.
- After deleting all the records in which the old gross is correct, you can Output Post the remaining records to update the find set of records in the employee accumulators with the new gross values.
***There is not a reversal process for output posting accumulator gross verify records.***
- Changes to payroll exceptions.
- Manual adjustment to employee accumulators.
- Manual adjustment to deductions in payroll.
