New FICA limit with payroll crossing calendar years
Description of Issue
My payrolls starts in December but ends in January, will my old, or new FICA limit be enforced?
Context
- Munis
- Payroll Start and Status
Cause
Resolution
The yearly accumulator is updated based on the defined check date of the payroll.
- Go to Payroll Start and Status (Payroll>Payroll Processing>Payroll Start and Status)
- Search for the warrant. Note the Check date field (Example, 01/06/2020).
- Munis will begin a new accumulation toward the FICA limit because the check date of the payroll is in 2020 rather than 2019.
Additional Information
When using the Limit Type Y - CALENDAR YEAR for the FICA deduction, Munis will stop taking the deduction when the yearly accumulator reaches the defined employee and employer limit.
