• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYUS_MESSAGES - Message class for US Payroll functionalities

• Message number: 310

• Message text: Employee has different YTD wages for Paid Family/Medical Leave tax types

What causes this issue?

During payroll execution, it was detected that this employee has a
discrepancy in his/her year-to-date (YTD) wages.
All the Paid Family/Medical Leave Tax Types should be calculated using
the same taxable wages.

System Response

The system identified different YTD Wages for the non-exempt Paid Family
and Medical Leave relevant Tax Types, which may have been caused by a
possible configuration error in the Tax Model.
When a difference in employee wages is detected, the payroll log
displays employee-specific messages for each employee who has
differences in YTD wages. The differences identified may be for one of
the following Tax Types:
<ZH> 087 - </>Family Leave Premium EE
<ZH> 088 - </>Family Leave Premium EE
<ZH> 099 - </>Medical Leave Premium EE
<ZH> 102 - </>Medical Leave Premium EE
<ZH> 098 - </>Family Leave Premium ER
<ZH> 101 - </>Family Leave Premium ER
<ZH> 100 - </>Medical Leave Premium ER
<ZH> 103 - </>Medical Leave Premium ER

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The YTD wages are used by BSI TaxFactory to calculate the total combined
Family Leave/Medical Leave premium and to ensure that the calculated
premium amount will not exceed the annual maximum total premium amount
of FICA wages.
This information is sent in the BSI Interface in the virtual tax types
888 and 999. If incorrect YTD wages are sent, the calculation for the
Paid Family/Medical Leave Tax Types may be incorrect.
In case the <ZK>Display Log</> checkbox is checked in the selection
screen of the Payroll Driver (US), this message will be logged for each
affected employee.

How to fix this error?

It is recommended that you review your Tax Model as well as verify the
wage types configured for the affected employees who have a different
tax base for non-exempt wages listed above.
