Why is WCB not calculating on a non-taxable benefit?

1. WCB deductions apply to incomes configured in Sage 50, including federal tax calculations under Setup, Settings, Payroll, and Incomes.
2. The default benefits income line in Sage 50 is not set to calculate WCB.
3. There is no automated solution within the system for this issue.

Workaround:

1. Calculate the total of the non-taxable benefits for all paychecks within the WCB remittance period.
2. Determine the WCB amount based on this total.
3. Options for adjustment:
   • Record a general journal entry to adjust the existing WCB account
   • Alternatively, create a new WCB payable and expense account to reflect the calculated amount
4. For detailed instructions:
   • Refer to Set Up User-Defined Expenses For Payroll
   • To set up payroll remittances, consult How to set up the payroll remittance? to integrate the new WCB account with your current payroll remittance processes

Action:

1. Proceed to remit the WCB balance as calculated.
