10:09:32 From Karen Crable : has anyone chosen to allow employees to defer? 10:10:27 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : We opted out as a district. 10:11:26 From Heather Hogan : Is anyone allowing intermittent FFCRA leave to care for a child in hybrid? 10:11:33 From Cynthia Cherkas : How would you pay individual employees who want to defer FICA? Would we create a new FICA tax type and make the employee percent zero? 10:11:36 From Karen Crable : PSD did also - just wondering if anyone is going to let employees defer - 10:12:13 From Karen Crable : you are only allowed one FICA tax type record - 10:13:08 From Cynthia Cherkas : Would we have to run a manual check for an employee who wants to defer? Or could we combine their deferral in with a normal pay run? 10:13:33 From Karen Crable to Zoom ERP Seminar1(Privately) : the negative deduction is easy if the employee makes the same gross each pay - you would have to change that deduction each pay if their pay varies 10:15:46 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : With creating a new deduction code to give back the FICA to the employee, we could run a simulation to see what their FICA would be for the new pay run (if it’s different from prior payrun) and we can then make the deduction amount a negative, correct? 10:17:29 From Karen Crable to Zoom ERP Seminar1(Privately) : can you make the deduction amount rate a percentage? 10:18:57 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : When you make the employee deduction a negative amount, and you’re not touching the employer side, that’ll keep the employer fica tax to continue to be calculated? So the employer would be able to pay their portion of FICA taxes due, but the employee’s share would be refunded to the employee, correct? 10:19:11 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : For the 941 to get the refundable portion of credit for qualified sick and family leave wages in Part 1, line 13C, are people just running a detailed distribution for the pay codes for the new FFCRA leaves and then figuring out the credit? The 941 indicates using Worksheet 1. 10:21:39 From Shari Hudak Fox Chapel PA : How will that information show up on tax reports for fica if we set up a deduction and the deduction is probably not included in these reports? 10:25:02 From Karen Crable : so couldn't we set up the *FJ as -6.2% for everyone? 10:27:13 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : How did other districts handle paying employees who opted to take FFCRA for child care? Did you do a negative pay code to be entered during the manual time card entry process of a pay run? 10:30:12 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : For FFCRA 2/3 leaves, I would not recommend setting up docking for the 1/3. You are going to need to know how much was paid on these leaves. By doing the docking, you are going to need to calculate the amount paid. 10:31:35 From Karen Crable : Cindy - PSD has one person using FFCRA for childcare - this pay they had 4 days(30 hours) on their regular pay cod and 4 days(30 hours) under the FFCRA paycode at 2/3 rate. We will be doing an adjustment check prior to paying the taxes to account for the FICA payments 10:33:04 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : Karen - how did you adjust the PSERS deduction on the FFCRA portion of pay? 10:33:58 From Shari Hudak Fox Chapel PA : I am setting up a pay code that is not subject to PSERS to deduct the amount over $200 per day. 10:34:45 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : In PA the 2/3 pay leaves are not eligible for PSERS. We set up new pay codes. Per PSERS, it is only when the EMPLOYEE is board approved for a Special Sick Leave are they eligible for PSERS. 10:35:27 From Ed Sbordone : Back to question number1, has anyone chosen to allow employees to defer? 10:35:54 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : We created a new pay code for FFCRA and we basically paid an employee their full gross bi-weekly pay amount, and then during the timecard entry process we input the FFCRA pay code to them so it deducts 1/3 of their payroll, so the employee ends up receiving 2/3 of their pay, and there is no PSERS that comes out. 10:36:20 From Karen Crable : the FFCRA paycode is set up to not withhold PSERS - 10:36:24 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : For Ridley SD we have had employees inquire about the deferral but we are not opting in to that program 10:36:43 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : Yes I agree the FFCRA pay code has no PSERS being withheld 10:37:22 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : We wanted to be sure we paid it correctly so the employees receives their 2/3 pay but for the PSERS state reporting, we wanted to be sure they show up in a specific column 10:37:33 From Shari Hudak Fox Chapel PA : We only had one employee ask about it. The business manager was in contact with a couple of other schools around Pgh. and they weren’t doing it. I am thinking we aren’t going to offer it as well. 10:37:48 From Jessica Wiley : Would you mind showing the setup on the tabs again please? 10:37:58 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : PA users. Please note there is a PA compliance Zoom on 9/17/20 at 2:30 pm. Hope you can make it. 10:38:06 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : At our next school board meeting we are asking the Board to approve the district not opting in to the deferral program 10:42:00 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : Steph - did an email go out about PA compliance zoom on 9/17? 10:44:09 From Karen Crable : Fica does round - thats why the 941 has a rounding adjustment line 10:47:01 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : Cindy, I received a notification this morning through PowerSchool community (under PA compliance) regarding the PA compliance meeting on Thursday. 10:47:33 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : Thanks I must’ve missed that one. I’ll check the community Thanks! 10:47:44 From Shari Hudak Fox Chapel PA : If people are doing this how would they handle the retro back to 09/01/20? 10:49:27 From Shari Hudak Fox Chapel PA : That might be an issue with quarter end if you had to refund in October more than you took out for the 4th quarter. 10:52:31 From Karen Crable : it is October 13 on my calendar 10:53:02 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : I had registered for the series, but the link on the series did not work. It said it was a recurring zoom, but I had to re-register this morning for the link to work 10:53:27 From Jessica Wiley : Thank you! 10:53:39 From Carol Weber : Thank you! 10:53:50 From Steph Hackash, Reading SD - Pennsylvania : Ok. Thanks! 10:54:06 From Cindy Cherkas - RidleySD : Thank you!! 10:54:13 From Karen Crable : the link in my calendar didn;t work -I went back to the original email link
