The Earning Code may be up to five characters.

The GL Account is the General Ledger expense account to apply this earning. If an employee has a General Ledger Account number entered in the “Employee Wage Account” in “Employee Entry” (9.3.1) then that will take precedence over this account.

Valid Earning Code Types are:  S = Salary, H = Hourly, OT = Overtime, SP = Special Rate.

This Earning Code may be coded as a Supplemental Earning that is subject to a flat rate tax for withholding. The flat rate is set up in Federal, State and City tax values in “Payroll Setup”  (9.4.2). These earnings are always taxed based on the flat rate and cannot be exempt, even if marked exempt below.

If an Earning Code is marked as Exempt it will not be included in the tax calculations during “Payroll Hours Entry” (9.1.3). The following may be exempt from tax calculations for this Earning Code: Federal Withholding, Employee Social Security, Employer Social Security, Employee Medicare, Employer Medicare, Employer Federal Unemployment Insurance, State Withholding, Employer State Unemployment Insurance, Other State Tax, Supplemental Benefits, and City Withholding. Enter a <Y> and press <ENTER> if this earning is exempt from Tax Calculations of this field. Just press <ENTER> if this earning is not exempt.
