On 12/28/2015 at 1 PM PDT, an update was pushed to our servers and should download to your computers within that time. Please note the following information:
1) A new Datamanager was included. You should always keep Datamanager closed on your server, and if you have, then this will automatically be moved into place. You do not need to run it. It is there in case it is needed for future use.
2) A new APAFTT.dbf file has been placed on your server. This is the 2016 tax table. It is in the MLS folder. Before your first payroll processing of 2016, be sure to copy it to the \ASW9s folder from the \ASW9s\MLS folder. Then go into Tools – Index and reindex the payroll file.
3) There has been some confusion regarding the tax status on Retirement funds and Cafeteria plans in payroll. This has been refined in the latest update. Use the following codes in the Deduct When field:
I = Retirment account: When you use this, FICA, FUTA, and Medicare will be calculated on the gross earnings but federal income witholding will not.
C = Cafeteria plan: This is the category for health plans where the employee does not pay the FICA, FUTA, and Medicare on the amount deducted from earnings.
Please watch the total carefully after making these adjustments, and notify us of any issues.
4) In the last update there were some problems noted with the display of columns in some browse fields. This was caused by an issue in the core engine and some changes were made to reverse that problem. If you still have any issues, please notify us immediately by email.
