KI0026 - Local Tax not included in Pay Calculation for employees changing FICA status mid pay period

Last modified: Jan+24%2C+2005

Number: KI0026      Status: info only

In V8.8, if an employee is paid from two paygroups in the same payroll, each with a different FICA status, the Pay Calculation process will correctly calculate the FICA deduction based on the status and gross paid. It will not, however, add a local tax gross for that employee for the payroll being processed. This will make the Current Taxable Gross for Local Tax be less than the Current Taxable Gross for State Tax. Balance adjustments may be made to the Local Tax Gross after the payroll is confirmed if the institution would like to keep these amounts in sync. This will not be an issue in the next payroll in which the employee is processed, as he/she will be paid from only one paygroup and have only one FICA status. A case will be submitted to PeopleSoft regarding this issue after test data in a vanilla PeopleSoft environment is collected.
