Manage Employee Earnings History Screen

Use this screen to initialize the year-to-date earnings, labor costs, workers' compensation amount, deductions, and contributions for each employee whenever Costpoint is not initialized as of the beginning of the calendar year.

Use the State Pay Types subtask to enter gross wages by withholding state and pay type. The State Pay Types subtask is enabled only if you selected the Enable Multi-State Tax Withholding check box on the Manage Pay Periods screen. If you are using multi-state taxes, you cannot enter gross wages on the Pay Types subtask. You must enter gross wages on the State Pay Types subtask.

Use the Taxes Withheld Project Distribution subtask to view the amount of income tax withholding at the federal, state, and local levels and the unemployment accruals at the federal and state level that were computed for the employee. If you need to enter or change any of these amounts, enter the new values here. Changes made do not affect the General Ledger.

Use the State Taxes subtask to provide multiple state taxes. Exempt wages are broken down by Exempt Pay Types and Exempt Deductions. You cannot modify the Withholding State and Gross Wages fields on this subtask. If you must modify these fields, insert additional lines on the State Pay Types subtask. If you modify the Exempt Pay Types, Exempt Deductions, and/or Taxable Wages fields, the amounts must cross-foot (Gross Wages – Exempt Pay Types – Exempt Deductions = Taxable Wages).
