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)
