Entering third-party sick pay

Consider the following points before entering third-party pay:

  • For third-party sick pay to be marked on W-2s, you need to select the Third-Party Sick Pay checkbox on the Compensation tab of the 5-2-1 Employees window.
  • Before saving the record, compare the calculation balances stored in the employee record with the payroll calculation maximums.
  • Because you enter the calculation amounts, Sage 100 Contractor assigns the record status 2-Computed. Therefore, Sage 100 Contractor does not check to see if the calculation maximums have been exceeded.
