We have an employee who went on PTO in December and then short term disability as of 01/01/17 (first day eligible), finally resigning early this month (both babies are healthy and finally home!).  So she has no payroll issued to her in 2017 in our GP 2013 database.

Our short term disability company paid the employee’s sick pay, as well as both the employee and employer FICA-SS & Med taxes.  They will also issue her W2 and claim her on their 941 quarterly reports.  (Weird right?!  We made them verify for us a couple times because we can’t find any other company who does it this way in our research).

They tell us the only thing we are responsible for is the SUTA and FUTA taxes on her sick pay. 

Ideally we would like to enter these through the payroll module so all of our reporting is correct and we don’t have to remember to adjust these items at the end of quarter/year.  I have found a few threads with different ideas as to how to enter the FICA taxes when you are only paying the ER portion but none of them address the issue of SUTA and FUTA directly (maybe the same way?).

Does anyone have any suggestions of threads or webinars which have covered this so if it is already out there it doesn’t have to be rehashed?  I know several of you are much more adept at the search feature of GPUG/Dynamics Communities than I am so I’m falling on your mercy to help a poor lost searcher out!  Or if you have had to deal with this if you have any solutions I’d welcome those too.  Help me oh wise ones! 🙂

The trick is that GP requires the wages to be there for it to calculate FUTA/SUTA. If you do that, then the wages are going to be part of the W2 and other tax reporting documents.

You might have to add the wages for the employees so you can calculate FUTA/SUTA then back them out. Otherwise, the wages would be included in the 941 and other tax reports.

Charles,

Thank you for your response. I’m a co-worker of Nancy’s and we’ve been troubleshooting this issue. Your idea is great, but have a questions regarding backing out the wages so that don’t show on the report. We are unfamiliar with this process. Can you share the steps involved in doing that? Thanks again for your help. We really appreciate it.

Tammy
