Employee Standard Check
Overview
If the employee gets the same check each pay period you can enter the check information on Standard Check Screen if you like.
Things to Remember
- The system will not automatically recalculate FICA if the Prevent FICA Recalculations on Standard Checks checkbox is checked on the Setup -> Payroll -> Payroll Setup -> General Tab.
CCB Note: If you zero (0) the FICA amount and press the Recalculate Check Button the system will not recalculate the FICA amount. You would have to cancel the check and start over.
CCB Note: On Version 4.78+ this feature has been turned off. The option still shows on the screen but enabling it does nothing.
- CCB: The Recalculate Check Button on the Payroll Transaction Screen will recalculate the FICA amount and any other deduction that does not have an amount filled in for it on the Standard Check Screen. (ie: If the Federal W/H and State deductions have figures enter then the Recalculate Button will not refigure these amounts)
This is by design as some customers wanted the system to act this way. (ie: You may want to give the employee a one time bonus and only want the FICA amount withheld.)
If you want the system to Recalculate a Standard Check amount just Zero (0) the amount and press the Recalculate Check Button . The system will Reculculate any deduction that is zero (0).
