ESS Payment Modeling

Can you elaborate? Do you not like it? Is it not working?

I'm sorry I was so vague.

We are located in PA and employees must pay a PA unemployment tax of .0006.   The tax amount appears under "Other" in payment modeling and increases dramatically with modeling calculations.

Thanks. 

I think we had this issue as well. Do you have amounts appearing under "Other" when you should have zero or close to zero? Particularly when you click on the calculate button? We ended up modifying paymodel.htm in order to fix this. Lawson was not very helpful in solving this.

Your description is right.   "Other" is correct for live data and is usually under 2 dollars.  When "modeling" data is entered, "Other" increases by 200% to 300% or more.

How did you modify paymodel.htm ?  Thanks.

Paymodel.htm is mostly javascript. To edit just make sure you have a backup copy and use any text editor. When you make changes you may need to exit the browser and go back in to see the effects. There is a no cache parameter you can add to a page if you do not like exiting the browser and coming back in. Also if memory serves me the amounts are not decimal so you will have to play with that. So 56.30 comes in as 5630. Also it may come in as a string so you have to convert it to a number in order to do addition etc.

In are case "other" should always be zero so it was easy to just take the amount and add it back into net pay. If the formula isn't to difficult, say just a percent of pay, then you can just calculate it yourself in the javascript and adjust the amounts as needed.

Thanks.
