Earnings Taxation Over Multiple Pay Periods

Instead of taxing an earnings payment in only the current pay period, you may choose to spread that taxation out across a number of months. As a result, the tax would be at a lower rate.
For example, if you tax a bonus of 10,000 USD in only one period, the tax amount would be higher than if you taxed that same bonus amount over 6 months.
In order to accomplish this, the element template provides the “Tax this earning across multiple pay periods” question during element definition. If you answer Yes to this question, the template creates a Taxation Pay Periods input value. This new input value allows you to define how many pay periods to tax the payment over on the employee’s element entry for that earnings code.
Note: In order to include this input value as part of the element, you must also answer the “Process and pay element separately or with other earnings elements?” element template question with one of the following:

- Process separately, but pay with other earnings
- Process separately and pay separately
