Explain the Hazardous Duty - Percent of Gross calculation

Applies To

PENTA for Windows

Payroll > Setup > Pay Groups, Payroll Classes and Workers Compensation > Payroll Classes > Shift/Haz Duty Premiums tab (when System Option #321 is set to Y)

Resolution/Fix/Answer

The Hazardous Duty % of Gross is based on gross wages.

On the Payroll Class Information screen, (The SHIFT/HAZ DUTY Premiums Tab), there is a flag for "Is Amount/Percent Subject To Overtime Premiums (Y/N)" in the Hazardous Duty Premiums section.

If the flag is Y, then the hazardous premium will be calculated based on the gross pay including shift or other premiums. If the flag is N, then the hazardous premium will be calculated based on the regular hourly rate for the employee.

Any new setups or scenarios on payroll classes it is always recommended to setup in the TEST DB and then run an employee through with a timecard to confirm that PENTA is calculating as expected. OR if you think PENTA is not calculating correctly please set up a Support Ticket and provide us an example so we can look at setup/calculations.
