The employer FICA OASDI and FICA HI calculation on the 941 report takes a flat 6.2% and 1.45% of taxable wages, respectively. This may not be equal to the actual liabilities posted from individual payroll runs for the following reasons:
- Rounding differences.
- FICA withholding codes not set to System calculations (in which case the employer liability is not posted).

In any of these scenarios, a contribution code or a manual transaction entry may be entered to record the correct employer liability to the general ledger.
