Did not receive error indicating State Tax missing from an employee in payroll



Description of Issue

An employee's State Tax deduction was marked with the incorrect cycles, and so it did not pull into a payroll. The error report did not indicate that the State Tax was missing from the employee, and so the taxes were not correctly processed. 



Context
  • Payroll

  • Payroll Start and Status

  • Earnings and Deductions

  • Earnings and Deduction Proof

  • Employee Deductions



Cause

The Error S-Tax Table Missing will only show for State Tax deductions that are incorrectly set up. For example, the employee has an invalid Marital Status defined on the Employee Deduction record, or the table itself is set up incorrectly. There is no warning that will otherwise indicate that a State Tax deduction is missing for an employee. 



Resolution

Recommended testing the Omitted Deduction Report or Deductions Not Taken Report. 

Omitted Deduction Report: Payroll>Payroll Start and Status>Earnings and Deductions. Click Global, then click Report employees omitted from specified deduction ranges. 

Deductions Not Taken Report: Payroll>Payroll Start and Status>Deductions Not Taken.
