Payroll

We need a overtime rule for work performed on company holidays.

We recently used Aatrix for W-2 processing but ran into an issue where many employees did not receive a mailed copy of their W-2. After investigating, we discovered an Employee Payroll Setting that enables consent for electronic W-2 filing on a per-employee basis.We have no idea how this setting was enabled for the majority of our employees or when it was introduced in Acumatica. Users don’t have access to modify this setting, and some employees who had it checked have never even logged into Acumatica.When we filed in 2024, this wasn’t an issue—everyone received a mailed copy. However, we can't find a clear pattern as to which accounts have this setting enabled.Does anyone have insight into how this might have happened?We are currently on 2023R2 - Build 23.209.0023.

Hi,Can someone help me find the way to delete the T4 batch for submission in Payroll ?I can delete these other batches but not this one.Picture below for referenceThanks

I’m testing out MYOB Acumatica and I had inserted some Time Activities as below, but they are displaying under the wrong week. I assume it’s got something to do with timezones, as the timezone is in Melbourne which is UTC+11, and the week cut-off point appears to be 11am as shown in the example pictures below. How do I fix this so that the cut-off time is midnight of the chosen timezone instead of UTC? It’s strange to me that time activities dated 20/01 is in the previous week period. I could be wrong entirely and it’s got nothing to do with timezones, but I can’t find the related settings for this 

Hello,I was wondering how it is recommended to set up third-party sick pay in Acumatica Payroll? For example, should it be an earning type, a tax attribute, both, etc?The third-party pays the employee, but we have to withhold appropriate taxes and report wages on both form W-2 and 941.Thanks!

Hi, I have a client that just started using Canadian Payroll in Acumatica this year. Basically, I thought I was just able to use the PTO Adjustment Screen to enter the opening balances for their vacation and then jsut run payroll. However, when we go to use PTO hours for their first pay, it says that PTO does not allow negative, which is in fact the setup the client wanted.  My question is what are the steps to have the opening balances of a PTO bank entered in Acumatica? Thank you,Joey

Payroll AA-2024 (this was the exception so that 2024 would only have 26 pay periods) was supposed to have posted 1/1/2025, but I posted 12/31/2024. I did not realize the problems that would be created.W-2s are going to report pre-taxed contributions that reduced the federal taxable wages and may cause over-the-limit contributions to HSA accounts and 457 deferred comp plan. Is there a way to change the posting date?Should I delete the 12/31/2024 payroll and re-run on 01/01/2025 (major hassle)? Please help!Denise

one of my clients is telling me that Aatrix does not have a capability in Ohio to file w2s for local municipalities. how are other users in the system working around this restriction? My clients are very confused on how to proceed and Aatrix support has been incredibly unhelpful.

Hi!I was curious if Acumatica’s self-service portal includes functionality for employees to update HR-related information, such as W-4 details. I know there’s a user role that allows access to paystubs and time entry within the standard environment, but is there a separate feature or portal for this type of functionality

How do you get the timecards to work when they cross payperiods.  The pay periods are always 1st through the 15th and the 16th throught the end of the month.  What do you do when the time cards cross pay periods?  Manual OT calcs would be preferrable and having timecards that match the payperiod.  Has anyone gotten this to work?

We come from a version update to 2023R2, and in tables like the original acumatica PREmployeeDeduct, when updating it the following error appears, which did not happen in the previous version 2021R1, for the migration we logically made 2 jumps, the database is in sql server 2017, please have any clue PD. I've checked other posts, but I can't find any clues.

I received the following content in an email from the Acumatica Team: The Acumatica SaaS team will be carrying out an emergency maintenance with the below details: DATE: 11/5/2024 7:00:00 AM UTCAFFECTED INSTANCE: -------------.acumatica.comEXPECTED DURATION: We expect the maintenance window to end within 2.5 hours of the start time.DETAILS: We must transfer the customer's database to a new node to preserve our functionality commitments and SLA.I would not expect this to make any issues for us, but now this morning there have been multiple problems. The main one that needs to be resolved as soon as possible:We are not able to access the employee time cards except for our own.As you can see here, there are no other employees listed for me to choose from:My first thought is that it is related to the company tree, but as you can see here nothing has changed and those of us who need to access them are still listed above the employees on the tree. Any thoughts or suggestions on what could be

We are in the process of converting to Acumatica and in the migration of existing employee data, we are not finding any existing systemic way to map employee Veteran status. We are surprised that the ability to indicate Veteran status does not show up within PR203000 -Tax Settings Tab. Are we missing something or do we have to create a custom field or attribute on employees to track this information?

I have noticed on Employee pay slips, for pay weeks that straddle anniversary date ,the weekly annual leave accrual is less or a Proportion of the normal expected accrual (for us 2.92 hrs)  . It returns to normal for the rest of the year. Can anyone help me explain this to employees ? I am confident the annual accrual is correct Thanks 

How can I add a column for inactive/active employees on this employee payroll settings screen?

An employee has a checking and savings account that is split with a regular paycheck. He received a bonus and wants the full amount to go into his checking account only. Is this possible without changing the payroll settings?
