Discretionary Flag for Tax Withholding and Overrides (Release 9.2 Update)

The JD Edwards Payroll system has been enhanced to enable you to configure the extra tax withholding to not be applied when it results in negative net pay. You can check the discretionary tax check box using the P07210 program during the pre-payroll processing or by using the P07210I program while entering interim header details. The system stores the value of the Discretionary flag in the F07210A table. Whenever the net pay is less than zero and the discretionary flag is checked, the system backs off one or more of the extra tax withholdings from federal, state, and local taxes in the given order. This ensures that the employees always have a net pay greater than zero.
