Important! When adjusting any calculation balances, it is important to consider the impact to the employee’s taxable wages. Additional adjustments to the wages may be necessary.
Use hand-computed payroll checks to make small adjustments to the calculation balances stored in an employee record. When you assign pay type 3-Hand Computed to a payroll record, Sage 100 Contractor limits entry to the Calculations tab.
To adjust the balance of an employer cost, enter a negative sum to deduct from the balance, or enter a positive sum to add to the balance. The adjustment does not affect the employee’s net wages.
To adjust employee costs, transfer the sum from one calculation balance to another. Depending on which balance you are adjusting, you can offset the net check amount to Federal Income Tax, State Income Tax, or Payroll Advance.
Suppose that you have over-deducted $10 for Social Security from Dick’s gross wages. On the Calculations tab, you enter –$10 in the Amount cell for the Employee Social Security calculation. Then in the Amount cell of FIT, enter $10. Sage 100 Contractor deducts the $10 from the Employee Social Security balance and adds it to the FIT balance. Rather than moving the balance to FIT, you could enter the amount in Payroll Advance. Sage 100 Contractor would then add $10 to the employee’s next paycheck.
