Feature:

Unemployment Compensation Calculation

Issue #:

51031

Change:

Payroll Unemployment Compensation calculation modified so that the underlying sick pay calculation uses the Hourly Wage field in HR\Profile on the General tab of the WA Feature Set.

Reason:

To keep the sick pay calculation consistent between pay periods.

Menu:

HR\PA\CP\CA

Implementation Note:

Prior to running Payroll, the Hourly Wage field on the General tab of the WA Feature Set in Employee Profile must be populated either manually or by running the Mass Calculate Hourly Wage utility (HR\PR\WS\RE\PR\HW).

Release:

Version 03.07.02.00.00, April 7, 2007

Remedy Ticket:

108819

Change:

Change the Quarterly Wage Detail Report and the Unemployment Wage calculation to include time off transactions when not equal to LTD (HTOTRN-TRANS.HTOTRN-LTD-RECORD <> "Y") and to exclude Unpaid Leave.

Reason:

Current Unemployment Wage calculation includes Time off transactions only when the HTOTRN-TRANS.HTOTRN-LTD-RECORD = "N".  When time off is entered through Employee Access or imported from Sub Tracking Third Party Import, Time Off Time Card, and Time Off Third Party Import, the HTOTRN-LTD-RECORD is defaulted to blank.  Hence, the Unemployment Wage calculation does not recognize them.

The above issue with Employee Access also affected the Workers’ Compensation tax calculation.

Also, unpaid leave hours are already negative hours so they should not be deducted again.
