I am curious whether the Sage end-user has to manually track these numbers or will Sage automatically cut off the amounts at the maximum rate? The way I read this it seems like the users have to manually calculate this but I'm not sure. Perhaps somewhere else in the KB article Sage was more explicit?

After checking in, I have been told that it will be up to the user to calculate earnings and make sure the maximums have not been exceeded.

In payroll data entry if they are paying an employee an earnings code(s) that is setup to use any of the new tax rules they will need to manually keep track of both the daily and overall maximum for each. 

Knowledgebase article 104181 has been updated to hopefully make it more clear.

I've been suggesting to my clients that they mark the multi-earning and use the autopay button to record the Covid-19 earning code. There they can determine the limit for each employee and enter it for tracking.  This works great even when they don't use the auto earnings option during payroll data entry, as it defaults that earning code and still tracks the limit.
