Symptoms

A biweekly, salaried employee has split tax distribution for multiple states. Paycheck has earnings which reduce from regular pay such as sick, vacation or holiday. A retro active pay rate change is entered. When retro pay calculation is run, it is incorrectly calculating the retro. It appears to be caused by the reduction of regular pay by the sick/vacation/holiday hours. The issue ONLY occurs when the hours which reduce from regular pay are loaded through T&L. If the same earnings and hours are entered manually on the paysheet, the retro pay is calculated correctly.

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Setup a salaried, biweekly employee with split tax distribution: 

Payroll for North America > Employee Pay Data USA > Tax Information > Update Tax Distribution 

2. Load sick time to paysheets via Time and Labor: 

Time and Labor > Process Time > Request Time Administration.

3. Run paycalc 

Payroll for North America > Payroll Processing USA > Produce Payroll >  Calculate Payroll 

4.  Run pay confirm 

Payroll for North America > Payroll Processing USA > Produce Payroll >  Confirm Payroll 

5.  Add retro pay rate change 

Workforce Administration > Job Information > Job Data

6. Run retro pay calc

Payroll for North America > Retroactive Payroll > Retro Pay > Process and Review Requests > Calculate Retroactive Pay
