What is the best practice to pay employees for a holiday that was not setup in the work calendar Exceptions? At the time of setup, the customer missed informing us that Easter is a paid holiday. It wasn’t setup therefore we now need to get this holiday paid to the employees.  We are thinking about using Paychecks and Adjustments entry with check type = Special. Can you confirm best practice?  Also, since Easter holiday and some others float around to different dates, is it understood that we should adjust the Work Calendar Exceptions list at the beginning of a new year for the upcoming years’ proper holiday dates? Thank you much!Amy  

Hi, In the old PC Bennett payroll there was an option for setting up and sending direct deposit paystubs via email. I do not think this exist in the new Acumatica payroll. My question is, has anyone created such a thing and can offer some advice on how to set it up? Thanks, Bob

HI,I am wanting to create a business event o send an email to all staff before a payrun is opened, the message will notify manager to approve all outstanding leave before the payrun is opened and processed.My question is, without a trigger (i.e opening the physical pay run) is there a way that I can do this in the acumatica platform?

hi,in the middle of an implementation and noticed when i tried to update some workers comp codes, the system added new records instead of updating the records.  i am trying to find out if there is a way to delete the rates that are not needed?  i didn’t see the option to delete on the WCC screen or the deductions and benefits (client is using acumatica payroll).  none of the WCC have been added to anything yet.  i haven’t tried just deleting the code itself but i see that’s an option and will probably end up going that route but wanted to see if there were any other options!  i appreciate your help!

Info:Payroll is currently supported in all US States and Canadian Provinces. (Partners who have not implemented payroll in Canada should still create a presales support case first.)

What is the best way to set up a Roth 401k deduction code? We currently have pre-tax deduction codes and will offer Roth beginning in 2024.Right now I have the Roth deduction code set up as not affecting tax calculations, however I noticed that, if the Affects Tax Calculation box is checked, there is a Roth 401k Code Type on the US Tax Settings tab. Should I mark the Roth deduction as affecting tax calculation and select this Code Type?Thank you.  

Has anyone found an add on that integrates with Acumatica payroll that allows for timeclock functionanlity (mobile or punch clock) and also allows for PTO requests, The only add-ons in the marketplace seem to be for project tracking or a full HRMS platform.  The native time entry for Acumatica mobile wants the user to put in the time start and then the hours. That won’t work for them. They need employees to punch in and out and have those show in the timecard with the system doing the match.

\Clock Entry Screen with ErrorI have an employee who clocked in and somehow the system clocked him in over 45 days ago.  Now...we cannot clock out and get an error message saying that the value is too lage (probably) for an Int32 field.  Normally we would clock the employee out and fix the clock entries on the Approve Clock Entries screen.  Any suggestions?  We’ve had to create a temporary employee for this employee to use while we figure this out.

Does anyone know how to unrelease a time card?

Hello, i got and issue I have updated a DLL in my Acumatica project by placing it in the bin folder and loading the project from the folder. However, when I publish the project, the old version of the DLL is still being used and causing errors. What steps can I take to ensure that the updated DLL is included in the published version of my Acumatica project?

Hi!i’ve been testing this out and i am not sure if i’m looking at this wrong or if this is functioning as expected but i am trying to leverage the “use payroll work location from project” checkbox from the employee payroll settings so that whenever this employee creates a timecard with a project with a payroll work location, the system should associate said work location...however, i am noticing that unless that work location is added to the employee record, the system does not pull that information in.im curious to know what other users are doing to handle this work location issue.  the client i am working with pays taxes based off where the employee works NOT their home address.  this client also has over 100 field employees that they pay on a weekly basis that apply time to a number of projects.it appears that the only way this functions properly is if the project work location is added to the employee record.  you will also need to have a non-project related

If I have an employee’s compensation entered under the compensation tab of Employee Payroll Settings, do I still have to go add the same information in Labor Rate table in order to push labor cost to the project?  I rec’d an error when releasing a Time Activity and the only way I could get it to work was to go add that exact same information in the Labor Rate table. 

 Has anyone encountered this error and a solution. When releasing a payroll adjustment

HelloWe are newly implemented and working through our first certified projects.For our employees that we offer health insurance and 401k, the certified calculation isn’t quite right. You can annualize or not the benefits.This changes the way the calculation works for benefits reducing the rate.When you annualize health insurance it works more accurate as the cost is divided out over the anticipated hours per year.401k, if you annualize the rate, it divides those dollars over anticipated hours per year.  Which can under report contribution and require us to over pay the employee.if you don’t annualize it, it over reports and under pays the employee.For example.  We match 4% of hourly rate for the 401k. If an employee works 10 hours on a certified job and 30hrs on regular job.  It takes the 4% match on all 40hrs and divides by the 10.  We want the 4% of 10hrs divided by the 10hrs. So we are either over paying or

Hi, I am looking for input on the retirement plan: IRA Simple Plan We are using 2021 R2:  After doing a tax update last week the employer contribution for our IRA Simple plan suddenly changed from the ER contributing on total Gross Pay to contributing on Taxable Wages - which is less contribution dollars since this implementation has a few pretax deductions. This sudden change in behavior has sparked a debate.  Looking for input from others who have this retirement plan. What should it be? On Gross or Taxable Wages?The deduction is setup with Tax Settings of:  Thanks in advance, Amy

Hello,I have several Union Employees who live in New York City but at times travel out of state for work. As per the NYC tax code, all wages are subject to NYC personal income tax regardless of where the resident works. https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/file/nonresident-faqs.htm#:~:text=All%20city%20residents'%20income%2C%20no,for%20New%20York%20State%20domicile.At the same time the Employee will be Subject to the locality they are physically working in tax. This creates a scenario where I need to withold taxes for the NYC resident employees 2x once to NYC and once to the locality actually worked in. How can I solve for this in Acumatica?
