Payroll

We have a new payroll client that has one work location in the state of Maryland.  One employee’s spouse is an active military duty employee working in the state of Maryland but declaring Georgia as their state of residence.  I am trying to get Acumatica payroll to calculate Georgia withholding.  It wants to calculate Maryland.  Even if I put a Georgia employee address, it still does not calculate Georgia taxes.  From a quick google search, it looks like Georgia withholds based on the work state.  Does that mean the only way I can get Acumatica to calculate GA is to set up a Georgia work state which is just not a true statement.  Am I missing something? 

Hi! As you have probably guessed, our company is in the process of transferring our payroll and construction information over to Acumatica. I am running in to a lot of issues when it comes to finding documentation on how to set up the payroll side of certified projects.  I’m not finding where to set up the codes for: Apprentice, Foreman, Electrician, General Laborer, etc under a job.  I am also not finding where to set up the different rates for an apprentice, depending on what level they are at.Do any of you have any reference for this?  Or can teach me how to do this? Thank you!

I have a Washington Cares withholding for Washington State and it’s nowhere evident in Acumatica, is there something I need to do to get it to appear or is this a deduction I need to set up myself? Thank you!

Hello, I have to pay payroll in Indiana with LaGrange as the County and my payroll is not calculating the LaGrange tax.  I don’t see a place to put county tax rates and Acumatica seems to not be pulling the information.  I have no way to input information directly into her “Paychecks and Adjustments” any help will be appreciated!

Hello!Our company has employees who defer to both a traditional 401K and a 401K Roth.  Our company match is 50% of the deferrals, up to 3%.  How do I set this up so it takes both the 401k & Roth in to account?  If someone is deferring 6% to their 401K and 6% to their Roth, we want the max match to be 3% between the 2. Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello! Is there a way to have an earnings code set up, so every time hours are brought in, the systems pays the same rate?We have employees in school and when they are in class, they get paid $xx/hour, regardless of what their normal wage is. Thank you!

I don’t see any API endpoints for Acumatica’s Payroll module, in either the screen APIs or REST. Maybe I missed it. Is there any ability to integrate programmatically with the payroll module?

I need a report that will show total hours worked, by construction project, by employee, for a specific date range.  There are only two canned hours reports in the construction edition -- neither of them accomplish what I am looking for.I’ve built a generic inquiry from the Earning Details screen and made a pivot table - which is okay -- but I’d rather have a standard report I can run each month.Any suggestions?

Everyone just locked in their health insurance and when we try to run payroll the new deductions aren't calculating. Does anyone know why?

What is the best option available if you have “Released a Payroll Batch” and did not get the .TXT file. Is there a way to Delete or Void a Payroll Batch so that a new one can be created? 

When will the new 2022 WA LTC payroll tax be integrated in the software, so that I can attach / exempt the tax to each employees tax profile.

We utilize several unions with our payroll, but have one that uses a multiplier on each of its deductions and fringes (each of which are based on hours).  We have tested the deduction and benefit using regular only, regular and OT, and total earnings, which are all the options.  These all treat all hours at the same rate.  Does anyone else use multipliers for overtime and double time hours for unions?  And if so, how are you making that calculate correctly?

After clients last payroll run - where they just added one employee to have ‘Paid time off’ - when going through ‘Government Reporting’ → Federal Tax Deposit (EFTPS) → and run if with the date range that the last payroll happened → they log into Aatrix they are then greeted with this message: “Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index”. Has anybody seen this error message? I have checked the one change that was made and it matches what 3 other employees have exactly on entries and exact time entered for that line item. I have seen similar error messages on this forum and looked into those data errors causing those and that is not the problem here bringing up this error. Appreciate any feedback that you all may have! Thank you.

Is there a way to setup custom Tax tables in Payroll if you're a Non-US customer?

We are in process of implementing Acumatica.  We currently use ExakTime to capture and report labor activities in the field.  I’m trying to get an understanding of what details/fields ExakTime provides for upload into Acumatica.  We are scheduling a call with ExakTime to discuss but thought I’d reach out on here to see if anyone has experience with the Acumatica/ExakTime integration.

An unhandled exception has occurred in the function 'Move Next". Please see trace log for details.  This error is happening when I try to file the 2021 941/Schedule B/941-V Report &MI UIA 1028 eFile Report. All other taxes I’ve filed have no issues through Aatrix. Thank you!

Is there any documentation explaining what all of the options are on the payroll company tax settings? I’m specifically looking for an explanation of what the “Rounding Option: Set to True to round calculations” for the FED payroll tax. 

In the Pennsylvania local tax settings, what is the explanation for the use of the “Employer has nexus relationship with the location” setting?  There is no additional information in the tax settings column to define this. 

I am not sure if every union is like this but in the midwest they have a layoff Payoff rule. So if you are laid off a job you have to be paid when you leave the job.   In payroll with set weekly periods, there is no place to modify the check date even if it is within the period. Is the answer to set up a new calendar or am I overlooking the ability to modify the check date when a weekly period end calendar is used Thank You

I am using Acumatica Payroll with Construction.  I am not seeing the union benefits along with the raw hourly rate by hours being distributed to job cost jobs.  I have reviewed all the settings and do not see any action that would facilitate this process. Any suggestions. Thank you in advance

One of our clients has reported that they have been unable to add a new line to the Compensation tab to establish a new pay rate their employees.  We are able to search, find and select the pay type, but when doing so, it appears as though the pay type code doesn’t validate.  By this I mean that neither the pay type description, nor the available Unit of Pay options populate on the line.  Has anyone run into this in the past?

I am looking for a way to add the Unit for piecework earnings codes on the paystub.  I don’t care if the column is blank for non piecework earning types. Does anybody know if this is possible or how to do this?

Some of you may have noticed a new field above 5a on the 941 for 2021 listed in Government Reporting.   The extra field above 5a was added to show the breakdown in SS Wages. Because any COVID pay for leave taken prior to April 1st is not included in line 5a, but COVID pay for leave taken after April 1st is, our tax form company wanted to give you a way to see the breakdown between "regular" SS Wages and COVID SS wages.   This does not affect the filing of the report. The report will probably change back in 3rd quarter.  If you have any questions, please let us know. 

The Washington state CPR form has been removed from the Government Reporting screen as the Aatrix Development team is currently making adjustments to the form. It will added back to the list by the end of the week, at the latest. If you are currently using Aatrix for filing this report - please submit a case with Aatrix. They are working with all those who are currently affected by the removal of the form and with processing any current or previously submitted filings.  Contact Aatrix at HelpMe@Aatrix.com. Please include your full company name and EIN for proper verification.  Or submit your information via Live Chat. Any questions, please contact me. Denise
