Resolution/Fix/Answer

This process can be done manually; it simply involves four separate manual check adjustments.

  1. Run 1st manual check adjustment: Remove the local earnings and taxable earnings:

  • Document Tab:

    • Check # should be 0

    • Employee Id

    • Check Date will be the posting date

    • Net pay should be 0

    • Process Reciprocity Rules, and Process Linked Jurisdictions should be set to "N"

  • Distribution Tab:

    • Work Date s/b the same as the Check date

    • OU Id s/b the employee's OU

    • Account is not relevant for this entry 

    • Gross pay should = 0

    • Default Employee Info Pop-up

    • Define the local code KC in the home and work locals

  • Taxes Withholding Tab - Local Box

    • Define the Locality KC in the local box

    • Enter -1500.00 (negative) in the Local Taxable Earnings Field

    • Distribute this manual check before proceeding with the next adjustment
