During Payroll cycle payroll coordinator did not select Benefit Addition when building batch

Posted on by 75

We had an issue last week with payroll.  My payroll coordinator did not select the Benefit addition when she built the batch.  Therefore no employer benefits were assessed in the entire pay cycle.  Is there a way to fix this quickly?  Maybe a mass update?

    Hi Raj,

    Mass updating benefit values on the backend is not a good idea. You’ll need to process and post those benefit amounts in payroll to accurately update the payroll history tables. If the payroll history tables are wrong, you’ll run into problems with W-2’s at the end of the year. This is because the payroll history tables are used to populate the year end tables used for W-2’s.

    The best way to record benefit amounts for an employee outside of a normal pay run in payroll is to process and post a manual check to record benefits accurately for each employee. Posting a manual check will update the payroll history tables.

    Here’s a blog that walks you through the process of entering/posting manual checks. I recommend you download the detailed document from the blog, and you can use that as a guide:

    Hope this helps!
