Have there been any changes in recent updates in Sage 100 that allow reimbursement of job supplies purchased by the employee through payroll checks?

    Would like to utilize the Certified Payroll reports - I want to enter individual offset credits under each employee that I have calculated with Vacation, Health, Holiday benefits. Can I do a "generic" calculation if so how can it be set up correctly under calculations?

    Sage 100 contractor 2014 - I cannot find payroll, setup, deduction code maintenance to set up the employee expense reimbursements.....any other suggestions? Closest I can come to a non taxable item is under per diem.....I don't want to put it under that and get things confused.....

    We created a Payroll Calculation (5-3-1) for Reimbursements.
    Tax type: 0-None
    Calculation Type: 1-Deduct from Employee
    Calculation Method: 18-Variable (manual calc)
    Credit Account: Job Materials

    Then we enter a negative number for the deduction.
    The hardest part is explaining to the employee that a negative deduction is an addition to their paycheck.

    When all was said and done, we abandoned the Payroll Calculation and now simply cut GL checks to employees for reimbursements. This allows us to Job Cost the expenses without a second Journal Transaction.

    It could be an add to gross but uncheck all the taxes. But since you can only debit one expense account payroll reimbursements are not ideal.
    it is better to reimburse thru 1-1 or payables.

    You put the amount of offset per hour per employee under the calculation for benefits that are paid and display on the certified payroll (i.e.: prev wage cash benefit )
