New York Workers' Compensation

New York calculates workers’ compensation differently from most states. See the New York workers’ compensation section below.

Payroll Calculation

In the 5-3-1 Payroll Calculations window, the payroll calculation for New York Workers’ Compensation must include the following for it to function correctly:
In the Tax Type box, select 11-Workers’ Compensation.
In the Calc Method list, select 17-Tables.
In the Max Type box, select 1-Wages/Check.
In the Tax State box, select NY.

Sage 100 Contractor looks first to the settings in 5-2-1 Employees. If a maximum is set on the New York W/C calculation on the Calculations tab, it uses that maximum during the compute. Otherwise, it uses the maximum setting in 5-3-2 Workers’ Compensation.
Set up the rate and maximum (if any) in the workers’ compensation table for each classification. Corporate officers (or others to whom a different wage limit for that classification applies) should have the wage limit entered in 5-2-1 Employees on the Calculations tab in the NY Workers Comp Insurance row.
The employees must be paid weekly for the subject wage maximums to work correctly. In 5-2-1 Employees, on the Compensation tab, set the pay period to 1-Weekly.
Salary only employees’ payroll records need to have a timecard line with at least these three entries: Pay Type, Hours, and Comp Code.
For the Workers’ Compensation to calculate correctly, employees cannot jump between comp codes during a given week.
Comp codes that have a Maximum must be listed prior to comp codes that do not have a Maximum for Sage 100 Contractor to compute and report the workers’ compensation correctly.
To ensure accuracy, only one comp code with a Maximum can be used per check unless the other comp codes have an exact matching Maximum.
