NetSuite for Government Reporting Version 26.8.1 – Release Date August 12, 2026

Human Resources and Payroll:

• CALPERS REPORT - EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT RATE TYPE:
  • The Cal-Pers report now supports Rate Types of Hourly, Monthly or Daily. A blank Rate Type on the Employee Retirement record preserves the default assignment of Hourly.
    Behavior and Source Logic

    Scenario	<n1:PayRateType>	<n1:PayRate> source / rule
    Employee Retirement Record> Rate Type= Blank	HRY	Employee Position and Pay > Hourly Pay Rate custrecord_ns4g_payassign_hourlypayrate
    Employee Retirement Record> Rate Type populated	State Compliance Setup Value > Code (HRY, MTY, or DLY)	Applies the calculation associated with the returned Code.

    Pay-Rate Calculation Rules

    Rate Type	Code	Source	Calculation
    Hourly or HRY	HRY	Position and Pay > Hourly Pay Rate custrecord_ns4g_payassign_hourlypayrate	Uses value
    Monthly or MTY	MTY	Position and Pay> Annual Salary custrecord_ns4g_payassign_annualsalary	Annual Salary ÷ 12
    Daily or DLY	DLY	Position and Pay> Annual Salary custrecord_ns4g_payassign_annualsalary	Annual Salary ÷ 260

    Configuration Notes
    • Configuration: On the Employee Retirement record, leave Rate Type blank to default in a pay rate type of Hourly; otherwise select the value of Hourly, Monthly or Daily.
    • Validation: In the CalPers File, compare <n1:PayRateType> and <n1:PayRate> to the employee's configured Rate Type and source pay value.
    • Limitation: Daily calculations are expected to be uncommon. If Annual Salary ÷ 260 does not meet client requirements, the logic may be reevaluated in a future release.
• VERMONT SUI REPORT - NEW VITWS CSV FORMAT
  • New Report: Adds a CSV version of the Vermont C-101 Wage and Contribution Report for VITWS. The existing Vermont report is retained and will be deprecated in a future release.
  • Display Name: Vermont C-101 Wage and Contribution Report | Format: CSV | File: VTC101<DateTimeStamp>
  • Required Inputs: Year (four-digit YYYY) and Quarter (1-4).
  • CSV structure: The first row must contain all eight headers in the order below.
