Earnings Tab

This tab stores the employee's gross earnings, as well as the earnings subject to federal, state, local, FICA, and Medicare taxes. Also included are taxable allowances, non-cash earnings, and the employer's Fica and Medicare gross

The system updates this information with each pay run, maintaining the data on a cumulative basis for the month, quarter, calendar year, and fiscal year. The Earnings tab also stores data from the most recent pay run (Current fields).

Menu Path:  Human Resources > Entry & Processing > Employee > Employee Information > search for and select an employee > click OK to display the Employee Information detail page > open the Earnings tab

Maintaining Earnings Data

When you add a new employee, all fields in the Earnings tab default to zero. The system subsequently updates these fields during payroll processing.

• Running a payroll clears the amounts in the Current fields for all employees and replaces them with the appropriate payroll values.

• Payroll calculations update the cumulative totals in the tab's other fields.

• Prior to calculating a payroll, you can clear the monthly and quarterly fields by running Pay Run Processing's Clear Monthly Balances, Clear Quarterly Balances, and Clear Monthly/Quarterly Balances options.

• You can clear all fields when you run Year End options for the fiscal and calendar year.

• You can also clear the State Gross and Local Gross fields by changing the state and locality in the Prior Earnings/Tax Information page.
