Pay cycle was restricted to employees assigned pay cycle in version 2018.

This enhancement was added in Sage 100 Payroll 2.22.0.

Select Allow employees with other pay cycles for bonus and commissions check box to pay employees whose assigned pay cycle in Employee Maintenance is different than the one selected in the Payroll Data Entry window. This check box is intended for use in pay runs that fall outside of employees' typical pay cycle. When this check box is selected, payroll taxes are calculated using the currently selected pay cycle regardless of the pay cycle assigned in Employee Maintenance.

Example: Flat tax on commission

• Employees are paid regular wages each week; they are assigned the Weekly pay cycle in Employee Maintenance.
• Employees also receive a monthly commission, which is taxed using a flat tax rate (earnings tax rule -800053).

1. To pay commission, select the Allow employees with other pay cycles for bonus and commissions check box, and enter the date range for the month.
   • In this example, the pay cycle doesn’t have an impact on the taxes for tax calculation purposes because the taxes are calculated at a flat rate.

Example: Tax table for commissions

• Employees are paid regular wages each week; they are assigned the Weekly pay cycle in Employee Maintenance.
• Employees also receive a monthly commission, which is taxed using a tax table (earnings tax rule -800011).

1. To pay commission, select the Allow employees with other pay cycles for bonus and commissions check box, and enter the date range for the month.
   • In this example, the pay cycle does have an impact on the taxes for tax calculation purposes because the taxes are calculated using a table that annualizes wages by the pay cycle.

You must have the appropriate security setup to access this check box.

Note: The Auto Pay button is not available if this check box is selected.
