While processing payroll in Sage 100 Contractor, one or more payroll calculations don't compute.
- Payroll Type is 2-Bonus
- Bonus payroll records exclude certain calculations by design.
- Calculation has a Max Type but no Default Max
- A missing Default Max prevents the system from applying the calculation.
- Employee has reached the wage or dollar maximum
- After reaching the maximum, the calculation stops applying.
- Marked the Calculation for Paygroup Benefits, but no Paygroup is assigned
- The system only applies the benefit to valid Paygroups.
- The Paygroup Override column is blank or marked No
- If the benefit rate applies, set the Override to Yes.
- The Family Leave calculation is missing a Maximum
- Without a Default Max, the calculation won't compute.
