Deltek ComputerEase 25.3.3.1 Release Notes

Release Date: January 28, 2026

Welcome to the ComputerEase 25.3.3.1 Release Notes, which describe the new features, enhancements, and software issues resolved in this release.

Overview

This document provides information on the following releases:

Required Action

  1. Identify whether double-time wages were paid to any employee in 2025 by running the Ledger Card by Employee report. If any employees are identified, you need to run the OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt report under Payroll System > Reports > Tax Reporting.
    Details and steps to run the reports can be found in KB Article 123298.
  2. If you have employees participating in Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) programs for Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Oregon, or Washington, you need to run the 2025 PFML Catch-up Allocations report for each company to identify if there were any erroneous general ledger and job cost or equipment cost entries resulted after updating to version 25.3.
    Details and steps to run this report are in the Enhancements section below.

Note: Employees participating in the District of Columbia (DC) PFML program were not impacted by this issue. You have no required action for this state.

Issue 1 Identified: Incorrect OBBB Qualified Overtime Premium for Double-Time Wages

Issue Summary

IRS guidance for qualified premium changed to further define that the full premium portion of double-time pay is not OBBB qualified premium, specifying the qualified premium is the pay that exceeds the employees' regular rate of pay under FLSA requirements (the "half" portion of "time-and-a-half") regardless of actual premium paid.

If you would like more details, specific guidance with examples of qualified premiums in different scenarios can be found at www.irs.gov.

Why This Is Important

Based on updated guidance from the IRS on qualified premium for double-time pay, the OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt report under Payroll System > Reports > Tax Reporting was updated to provide only the FLSA required premium paid (the "half" in "time and a half") for all double-time paid wages. Early guidance directed that the full premium for overtime above the employee's standard pay (1/2 of the 2x pay) was qualified.

Note: There is no penalty for either misreporting or incorrectly reporting premium wages for 2025 as the transition year. Refer to https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-25-62.pdf 

Correction

The OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt report under Payroll System > Reports > Tax Reporting was updated to always provide only the IRS qualified premium for all overtime and double-time pay.

Impact

The premium amount provided to employees that were paid double-time in 2025 was over reported.

Issue 2 Identified: PFML Employer Catch-Up Calculation Issue (Versions 25.3 to 25.3.2)

Issue Summary

An issue was introduced in version 25.3 that incorrectly generated employer catch-up contributions for missed employee or employer state PFML deductions on 2025-dated payroll checks.

Employer catch-up contributions are intended to address situations where the system identifies an employer's or employee's past under-funding or missed contributions. However, per an IRS ruling effective January 1, 2026, employer catch-up calculations should only apply to 2026-dated checks forward.

Due to this issue, when running payroll in version 25.3 for an employee marked as participating in a state PFML program, the system erroneously calculated employer catch-up contributions for 2025. No employee withholding or payroll figures were impacted by this issue.

Why This Is Important

If your employer catchup contributions were calculated, your posted burden in general ledger, job cost, and equipment may be incorrect.

Correction

This issue was corrected in version 25.3.2. The fix prevents employer catch-up contributions for all state program PFML from being calculated on 2025-dated checks, ensuring compliance with IRS requirements.

Impact

Erroneous journal entries and job cost expenses associated with affected payroll checks may have resulted.

OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt Report

For detailed steps to identify which employees are impacted and the next steps to do, refer to KB Article 123298.

2025 PFML Catch‑up Allocations Report

2025 PFML Catch-up Allocations report has been added. It is designed to identify and assist in correcting erroneous general ledger, job cost, and equipment postings related to the 2025 PFML employer catch-up issue introduced in version 25.3. If you have employees participating in PFML programs for Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Oregon, or Washington, we recommend that you run this report before closing your year for 2025.

The records listed in the report represent the correcting entries for the identified erroneous postings. When no qualifying entries are found, the report displays "No Entries to Correct". If any correction entry has already been made, review these correction entries to ensure they are not duplicates of your manual entry.

Note: If your only participating employees are enrolled in the District of Columbia (DC) PFML program, you are not impacted by this issue. No action is required for this state.

This report performs the following:
  • Follows the same permissions as other PFML reports (Programs > Payroll > Access Executive Payroll Employees and Programs > Payroll > Reports > Tax Reporting > State and Local Taxes Withheld in the User Settings dialog box of PW MAINT.).
  • Calculates Calculated PFML for each check using the 2025 PFML employer rates.
  • Compares the calculated values to Posted PFML (GL PRSE entries) on a per‑employee, per‑check basis.
  • Validates all checks dated 12/1/2025 through 12/31/2025 across all states.
  • Only displays PFML entries that posted to the GL and have a variance between the posted and calculated values.
When a difference exists between Posted PFML and Calculated PFML, the following are reported:
  • GL Period
  • Check Date
  • Employee
  • Wages
  • Tax Type
  • Posted: PRSE amount posted to GL
  • Expected: Wages * 2025 PFML Rate
  • Correction: Posted PFML - Calculated PFML
  • Correction Distribution, including:
    • Account Number
    • Debit
    • Credit
    • Cost Code
    • Cost Type
    • Equipment
    • Code
Following the detailed report, an additional section summarizes journal entry totals by GL Period, providing a streamlined view to support posting the correcting entry. This summary includes:
  • Account
  • Total Debit
  • Total Credit
  • Cost Code
  • Cost Type
  • Equipment
  • Code
The Exclude differences less than option excludes checks with variances below this threshold. The default value to exclude is less than 1.00.

To simplify downstream corrections:
  • Users can easily import the report results directly into a job costing journal entry.
  • The journal entry automatically includes Reference: "PFML Catchup Adjustment".
  • The journal entry date automatically populates with the last day of the period.

Year-End Electronic Filing Updates

The following items are no longer restricted for tax year 2025 and updated with the latest forms, if applicable:
  • Electronic file creation of 1099s
  • Electronic file creation of W-2
  • Print 1096
  • Print 1099s
  • Print W-2s
  • Print W-3
  • Upload W-2s to Employee Hub
  • Export print service
For Prepare W-2s, the Include calculated OBBB (One Big Beautiful Bill) Exempt OT on W-2 option has been added. If selected, the OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt report is run and the value is included in W-2 Box 14. If not selected, the W-2 will not populate the OBBB Exempt OT value on the W-2.

For Payroll Service users, when running Quarter End Reports, if the period selected is December 2025 and it is set to be sent to Deltek Payroll Services, the Include OBBB OT on W-2 option is displayed. If selected, Prepare W-2s will run the OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt report and the value is populated in W-2 Box 14. If not selected, the W-2 will not populate the OBBB Exempt OT value on the W-2.

The OBBB also included the option to report qualified tips on W-2s in Box 14 for tax year 2025 and require it in Box 12 for tax year 2026. We have added a Fringe Type Box 12 (TP) Qualified Tips that is designed for use when generating W-2's for tax year 2026. If you want to report qualified tips value on your 2025 W-2's, you can create a fringe of this type through Fringe Maintenance, and in the W-2 Box 14 Code field, assign the TP code so that it will appear on the W-2. Refer to your CPA for further guidance.

For Kentucky W-2 electronic filing starting tax year 2025, the state employer account number must only contain either six or nine digits. An error message is displayed if this specification is not met.

In addition, you can now change the Workers Comp Taxable and General Liability Taxable settings on all deductions and fringes after use if you are a non–Payroll Service user or a Payroll Service ComputerEase Admin. Note that editing a tax setting may affect prior reporting.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) Exempt Overtime Updates

ComputerEase has been updated to accommodate OBBB reporting of Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exempt qualified overtime premiums. Changes have been made to various parts of ComputerEase to support this feature.

Under Payroll System > Maintenance Programs > Employee Maintenance > Payroll tab:
  • Updated the Employee Type options to the following:
    • Changed Salaried to Salaried-Exempt.
      • Salaried-Exempt does not require time to be entered by day, by week.
    • Added Salaried-Non-Exempt.
      • Salaried-Non-Exempt requires time to be entered by day, by week.
      • Salaried O/T Rate is disabled if the Employee Type selected is Salaried Non-Exempt.
      • Other and Bonus Pay for Salaried-Non-Exempt employees will always require a date.
Under Payroll System > Maintenance Programs > Employee Maintenance > File > Import Employees:
  • Enabled Salaried-Exempt and Salaried-Non-Exempt payroll types to be imported.
Under Payroll System > Maintenance Programs > Month to Date Maintenance > Federal tab:
  • Added OBBB Premium Exempt OT Starting Balance for 2026 onwards. This field is used to load the beginning balance only for users converting to ComputerEase. It is not updated by payroll runs. The final W-2 reportable balance will be calculated based on this beginning balance and actual payroll results at year-end.
Under Payroll System > Reports > Employee Master Report:
  • Updated to include Salaried-Non-Exempt.
Under Qtool > Payroll > Employee Master Report:
  • Updated the Type column to report on both Salaried-Exempt and Salaried-Non-Exempt as Salaried.
  • Added the OT Exempt column where Y or N values are populated depending on the employee type:
    • Y: Salaried-Exempt

FLSA requires employers to maintain hours worked each day by week for non-exempt employees (Part Time, Full Time, and Salaried-Non-Exempt). This error message is displayed when creating a time entry with more than 24 hours or with no work date. Areas of ComputerEase that now display this error message when creating time entries are as follows:
  • Payroll System > Time Center
  • Payroll System > Enter Labor Distribution by Employee
  • Payroll System > Enter Labor Distribution by Job
  • Payroll System > Enter Non-Job Hours
  • Payroll System > Print Payroll Register

One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) Overtime Premium Reporting Updates

The OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt Report has been added. This new report determines the premium portion of Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) qualified overtime for employees so that they can claim the overtime premium on their tax returns. According to the FLSA, it excludes sick, vacation, and holiday hours. You can specify an employee range and select whether to exclude weeks with no overtime or double time. The report can be generated with one employee per page, allowing you to easily provide it to employees.

The report has the following formats:
  • Detail: This is the default format. It provides weekly details and supports page breaks per employee.
  • Summary: This shows employee totals only and excludes weekly details with drill-down capability per employee.
The report displays the following:
  • Employee details
  • Week ending dates
  • Hours worked details
  • FLSA qualified details
  • Weekly and employee-level totals
Employees with no overtime or double time for checks dated in 2025 are excluded. Additionally, weeks prior to the earliest check period are not reported to prevent backdated corrections.

To run the report, select Payroll System > Reports > Tax Reporting > OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt.

Security access to the report in PW MAINT follows Programs > Payroll > Reports > Ledger Cards in the User Settings dialog box.

The Prepare W-2s dialog box now calculates and collects the Premium Hours Over 40 FLSA Qualified Exempt Amount as reported on the OBBB Overtime Premium Exempt report. For employees with a non-zero amount, the W-2 includes this value in Box 14 as "OBBB OT". The Edit W-2s dialog box also supports manual entry or editing of the Box 14 "OBBB OT" value.

Tax Reporting Updates for Employer-Paid State PFML Contributions

If you currently have any Paid Leave programs enabled, we highly recommend reviewing each of them prior to running your first 2026 payroll.

Starting January 1, 2026, any portion of an employee's state-mandated paid leave contribution that is paid by the employer is treated as additional wages. These amounts are subject to federal and state income tax, as well as applicable employment taxes, including Social Security and Medicare. Report these amounts in Boxes 1, 3, and 5 of Form W-2.

In the State Tax Table Maintenance of participating states for Tax Year 2026, the Employer Paid Leave Pickup Fringe field has been added. Depending on the state, the field may display FAMLI, PFAML, PFL, PFML, or PFMLI instead of Paid Leave.

If an employer is picking up any portion of the employees' minimum paid leave contribution, this field is required. You need to create at least one fringe for this employer pickup. If you are working in multiple states, we recommend creating a fringe for each state.

If you are in Maine or Massachusetts, you need to reenable your paid leave settings by electing the employee count option for your organization before running your first 2026 payroll.

Each participating state has its specific requirements for this field:
  • Colorado: Required if Enable Family and Medical Leave Ins. is set to:
    • Yes (less than 10 employees) and the employer portion is above 0%.
    • Yes (10 or more employees) and the employer portion is above 0.44%.
  • Connecticut: Required if the employer portion is above 0%.
  • Delaware: Required if the employer portion is above 50%.
  • Maine: Required if Enable Maine PFML is set to:
    • Yes (less than 15 employees) and the employer portion is above 0%.
    • Yes (15 or more employees) and the employer portion is above 50%.
  • Massachusetts: Required if Enable Paid Family and Medical Leave is set to:
    • Yes (less than 25 employees) and the employer portion for either family or medical is above 0%.
    • Yes (25 or more employees) and the employer family portion is above 0% or the employer medical portion is above 0.42%.
  • New York: Required if the employer portion is above 0%.
  • Oregon: Required if Enable Paid Leave Oregon is set to:
    • Yes (less than 25 employees) and the employer portion is above 0%.
    • Yes (25 or more employees) and the employer portion is above 40%.
  • Washington: Required if Enable Paid Family and Medical Leave is set to:
    • Yes (less than 50 employees) and the employer portion is above 0%.
    • Yes (more than 50 employees) and the employer portion is above 28.57%
When you run the Payroll Register for checks dated on or after January 1, 2026, and any portion of an employee’s PFML contribution is paid or picked up by the employer, the Employer PFML Pickup Fringe in the applicable State Tax Table Maintenance includes the employer pickup amount (the amount above the minimum required employee contribution). The employer pickup amount can include:
  • Employer pickups configured in the State Tax Table Maintenance
  • Adjustments made through catch-up for missed deductions
  • Adjustments made due to tax overrides
If the employer pays a portion of the employees' paid leave contribution, you must create a fringe for proper tax reporting. An error occurs if the Employer Paid Leave Pickup Fringe is blank in the State Tax Table Maintenance and an employer pickup is identified when running the Payroll Register. A fringe must be assigned in State Tax Table Maintenance to continue.

The Colorado Tax Table Maintenance has additional updates to support this feature:
  • Updated the Enable Paid Family and Medical Leave Ins. options to:
    • Yes (less than 10 employees): Previously Yes (Employee Only)
    • Yes (10 or more employees): Previously Yes (Employee and Employer)

In the Payroll System > Maintenance Programs > Tax Rate Maintenance > State Tax Table Maintenance for Minnesota for year 2026, the following fields have been added:
  • Enable Minnesota PFML: Default value is blank.
