Suppress Employer Contributions in all Payroll Runs

You can suppress an individual contribution for an employee by setting the contribution to inactive. If you suppress a contribution, Vantagepoint stops tracking the associated pay basis.

To suppress a contribution in the Employees hub:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Hubs > Employee > Employees.
  2. Open the employee records of employees who have employer contributions that you want to suppress and click the Payroll tab of the Employees form.
  3. In the Active field of the Employer Contribution grid, select Inactive for all contributions that you want to suppress for the employee.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to suppress contributions for additional employees.
    If an employee contribution is suppressed in the Employees hub, you cannot override that setting on the Employee Review dialog box of the Employee Payment Selection form in Payroll Payments. The withholding remains suppressed until you change the setting in the Employees hub.

    A suppressed withholding does add to the gross wages on any report related to the withholding.

Alternative procedures: To continue to track the pay basis, but contribute a zero amount on a single run, you can override the contribution during the payroll run. To do this, enter a zero amount for the contribution in the Contributions grid on the Employee Review dialog box of the Employee Payment Selection form in Payroll Payments.

To suppress a contribution for all employees on a company-wide basis, select Inactivate for the contribution code in Payroll Contribution Setup in the desktop application. If this option is selected, the contribution's Active field is set to System in the Employer Contributions grid in the Employees hub. The Employees hub setting overrides the company-wide setting.
