Verify Wage Basis Rules

After you set up wage basis rules for an employee, run a QuickPay for the employee and review the employee's Statement of Earnings(SOE) to verify that the payroll calculations and run results are as per the configured rules.

For example, after you create the wage basis rule for Brittany, as given in the previous example, run a QuickPay for Brittany. Open the SOE and review the Taxable Benefits amount to confirm that the calculations are for the company car. Check the SOE to verify that the Calculated Earnings, the Imputed Earnings, Taxable Amounts, and Deductions are for both Pennsylvania and New York, as given in this table.

Region Earnings in Salary Eligible Imputed Earnings Taxable Amounts Deduction Amount
New York 1000 50 1050 35
Pennsylvania 1000 (50-Exempt) 1000 30
