How do I check for employee pay codes with a positive ARP amount? (2024.08)
I want to see deduction type pay codes at the employee level that have positive amounts listed under the ARP (Amount Rate Percentage) box. Deduction type pay codes include items such as taxes, insurance premiums, retirement contributions, and other voluntary or involuntary withholdings.
Some examples of deduction type pay codes include
-
Federal income tax. Represents the amount of federal income tax withheld from an employee's pay.
-
State income tax. Represents the amount of the state income tax withheld from an employee's pay, if applicable.
-
Social security. Represents the employee's contribution to the Social Security program.
-
Medicare. Represents the employee's contribution to the Medicare program.
-
Health insurance premium. Represents the employee's contribution to the health insurance premiums, if applicable.
-
Retirement contributions. Represents the amount of money deducted from an employee's pay for retirement savings, such as a 401(k) or pension plan.
-
Union dues. Represents the amount of union dues deducted from an employee's pay, if applicable.
-
Workers compensation. Represents the amount of workers compensation deducted from an employee's pay, if applicable.
If the deduction type pay code is set up correctly, the ARP or extra amount on the employee pay code will be set to a negative amount, which is correct for a deduct the amount from the employee's gross pay. If the deduction type pay code is a positive amount, the amount is being added to the employee's gross pay and the employee pay code needs to be corrected.
Selecting the Check for positive deduction pay code set up checkbox will only check the employee ARP and employee extra amount on the employee pay code.
