THIRD PARTY SICK PAY

The process for recording third-party sick pay has been modified to clarify the intent: to record FICA and Medicare tax withheld from the payment to the employee by the 3rd party vendor. The deductions used by this process are the employee’s federal, state, local, matching FICA, matching Medicare, and the FICA-3RD PARTY SICK PAY and MEDICARE-3RD PARTY SICK PAY tax deduction descriptions. Except for the federal, state, and local tax deductions, an amount must be entered as well as an increase to taxable wages. This process is accessed via OpenRDA’s Maintenance on the Resource Bar.
