How do you set up payroll to accrue vacation pay $$ not just hrs?

The PTO bank accrues the hours correctly; however, I am trying to configure the system to also accrue the amounts and create the corresponding entry in Journal Transactions.  Does anybody have a suggestion on how to do this?

HSA Deductions and Direct Deposit

We just switched over to Acumatica and processed our first payroll in the system. After processing, I realized an error in the HSA deduction/direct deposit where the HSA deduction is essentially being doubled up. In our old system, we could tie the HSA deduction to a specific HSA direct deposit account, so the amount specified in the deduction set up was automatically directed toward the account set up under the HSA direct deposit code. Acumatica apparently does not have the ability to do this, so our implementation team advised us to set up the HSA account under direct deposits, and specify the dollar amount to deposit into the account with the remainder going to the regular checking account. Unfortunately, this is actually doubling up on the HSA deduction.For example, say an employee’s net pay was $1,000, including an HSA deduction of $25. They should actually receive $1,000 in their bank account because the HSA deduction was already factored into the calculation of their net wages.

How do you set up an employee who is EI exempt in Canadian Payroll?

I had tried not activating the EI taxes on the Employee Payroll Settings but get an error when calculating the paycheck.  How do I set up this employee so EI insurable earnings & premiums are not calculated for this employee and that their T4 will show that they are EI exempt?

What is the best setup for connecting Acumatica with Paylocity?

Paylocity offers customized reports that can be created and exported. Those reports can then be used in a import scenario to upload into Acumatica the needed payroll information.Looking to automate the process more, has anyone had success in API connection or using other systems like Celigo to get what is needed for payroll processing?

Use Catch up Contributions

Does anyone know if you check the box for use catch up contributions if it will look at the birthdate in the system? So, if you check it for everyone, even if they are not age 50 or older, it will look at the birthdate and NOT the check box?

Add Hire and Termination Dates to Generic Inquiry in Payroll

Is there a way to add the Hire and Termination dates from the Employee Payroll Settings Employment History tab to a generic inquiry?  Our client is needing this information for an audit.  If we use the Start Date and End Date of the positions we do not get accurate information if the employee had a position change.  The DAC indicates these fields do not exist in the database and are part of the application code.  The client is need the hire date field to populate the original hire date of the employee and the termination date only if the employee has been terminated.  They do not need the end date of a position change.

Timecard HOLD restriction once approved state

Hi We are having some internal issues regarding timecards approval status. Our approval status itself works fine, but once the employees time is approved, we would like to limit the possibilities to put the actual timecard to hold status.  Our final step in the approval process is the finance department, and once the timecard is approved, we would like to disable the hold button, exccept for members from a specific group in our company tree.  Is that possible?

Payroll Direct Deposit and Bank Rec

Currently the Payroll Direct Deposit amounts are posted to the Cash account in detail instead of batch total.  I do not see a setting to update this nor can I find a document addressing this behavior.  I am sure I must be missing something… Thank you

Taxable Wage Limit Calculations

Hello Everyone,I was wondering how the payroll module pulls taxable wage amounts. Let’s talk about the California SUTA wage base amount. Say an employee has gross wages of $10,000. The taxable wages for the California SUTA will stop at $7,000 (unless overriden of course). Does it stop at $7,000 because Acumatica is pulling this limit from the tax symmetry engine?I am just trying to get confirmation on how this works.Thanks

Time Card Details - Automatic Checking of Billable Box from Service Appointments

ISSUE: Logged time from Service Appointments transferred to the employee time card is always not checked as “Billable”, so we manually have to check each line in order for it to be calculated correctly.POSITIVE POINT: Any logs coming from projects are automatically checked as billable. As you can see below, all items coming from appointments are unchecked. Those that have projects involved are checked.If I go into the Earning Type Codes, I can set the default coming from projects to be ‘Billable’, which is great! QUESTION: How can I do this for any logs coming from Service Appointments? Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

Acumatica Payroll PTO Banks adjustment

Has anyone figured out how you would make a manual entry to an employees PTO bank. For example, if the accrual was setup wrong, or the company decided to give them some extra time for whatever reason. I can’t figure out how I would adjust the time they have for that pto.

How to set up a formula to calculate a benefit amount

Hello!We have 2 company benefits that we give the employee the option to pay the taxes on, so if they ever need to use it, they won’t be taxed on it.  The deduction is based on a formula, and doesn’t fit in to any of the preset options on the Deduction/Benefit set up (of being calculated as a flat amount, % of gross, % of net, % of custom, or amount by hour) The formulas are ((employee hourly rate x 2080)/52) x .00289 for the 1st benefitfor the 2nd benefit ((employee hourly rate x 40 x 0.60)/10) x 0.052Any suggestions on how to set this up? Thank you!
