About reviewing rates in tax tables

When setting up a payroll calculation for federal or state income taxes, Sage 100 Contractor sets the appropriate rate, but does not display it in the payroll calculation or in the employee record.

Other federal or state calculations such as Social Security, Medicare, State Unemployment Insurance, and State Disability do not use tax tables. When you set up a calculation for social security, for example, Sage 100 Contractor suggests a default rate and maximum, but the default rate and maximum is not part of the tax tables.

We recommend that you perform a yearly review and update the calculation rates and maximums in each payroll calculation. Then update the changes to the employee records.
