This appendix contains the following topic:
While making payroll entries, an employee can have one work unit defined for him or her for regular and overtime pay and one for each special pay rate.
In general, the number of work units designated for this employee is multiplied by a rate, to produce either:
| • | The total amount of workers’ compensation due for this employee for this pay period, paid by the employer, or |
| • | The amount of one or more type X, special tax, deductions paid by the employee. |
An employee can have up to six type X deductions. Of these worker’s compensation codes and X deductions, all, some, or none can have their final dollar values based upon work units, multiplied by a rate which is individual to each code.
When more than one of these codes for an individual employee are based on work units, each such code used for that employee must use the same work unit.
The Employees selection does not allow different work units defined for the same employee. Therefore, when setting up deductions/earnings codes with a rate basis of work units, the above factors should be kept in mind.
