Issue/Symptom/Question

How do I set up Connecticut Paid Family Leave (CT-FML)?

Applies To

PENTA for Windows

Payroll > Setup > Taxes > Payroll Tax Maintenance

Resolution/Fix/Answer

Connecticut Paid Family and Medical Leave is a state mandated tax on employees up to an annual limit. For details please visit https://ctpaidleave.org/

In order for PENTA to calculate the tax correctly and not have any errors during payroll processing the CT-FML tax needs to be set up:

  • Navigate to the Payroll Tax Maintenance window and query CT-FML

  • Review the General tab according to the tax regulation - see below:

  • Update the Rates tab

    • State/Province will be CT

    • Earnings limit and rate must be set. You need to look up the limit and rate and set appropriately. PENTA does not maintain the limit and rate. 

  • Update the Accrual and Expense Accounts tab with the appropriate accrual account.

  • Optionally, in the following windows set up taxability rules for Tax Type CT-FML:

    • Direct Burden Rules

    • Master Deductions

    • Master Reimbursements

    • Other Compensation Information

    • Payroll Classes

    • Employee Payroll Information 

For CT-FML reporting use this report:

  • OTHSTTAXEMP (generates Other State Taxes - Employee report)
