Understanding Pay Type Setup for FFCRA

To identify wages paid under the FFCRA and report on them separately, set up new pay types. These wages cannot be considered under the regular sick time. To set different limit requirements, you should set up a minimum of three new pay types:

• Paid Sick Leave- Employee

• Paid Sick Leave- Family

• FMLA Expansion

In addition to these, you may want to consider setting up pay types to override rates and define minimums and maximums for the above categories, such as:

• Paid Sick Leave- Employee- Minimum

• Paid Sick Leave- Employee- Maximum

• Paid Sick Leave- Family - Minimum

• Paid Sick Leave- Family - Maximum

• FMLA Expansion- Minimum

• FMLA Expansion- Maximum

While setting up pay types using the PDBA Setup program (P059116), enter the maximum hour limit for a pay type in the Hours Limit field. Enter a value in Edit Flag to specify whether to display a warning or an error message when the Paid Sick Leave exceeds the maximum hour limit.

Use the Tax Exemptions form of the PDBA Setup program to set the value E in the Tax Type field for each of the pay types for Paid Sick Leave and FMLA Expansion to exempt them from the employer portion of the Social Security Tax.
