Im wondering if anybody knows the logic for setting up Sick, Holiday, & Vacation as "Other" Pay Type instead of Regular Time since those hours are actually part of the normal 2,080-hours per year (40 hours x 52 weeks).
A couple reasons im bringging this up is (1) the pay-stub is calculating short on the total hours from this and (2) our Worker's Comp audit came back with a big bill because "other" pay type isnt part of the accrual calculations.
Question: When you go to look at the setup of the pay id is this box checked? It should be for regular hours and for workers comp. Worker's comp is based on "Straight Pay" so the is issue is not that an other pay was used but because the Straight Pay box was unchecked
If you say Vacation pay should be included in Workers Comp calculation then this would be the setup. Know that units on "other pays" are not sent to JC just the dollars.
I recommend looking at the "Calc Method" in help when setting up a new "Other Pay" id. If it's not I would think about when might be the best time to correct it. Maybe a new quarter or year end.
Select to include this pay type in Straight pay when Straight pay is used as the Calc Method for other pays, deductions, or fringes. For example, select this check box to include this pay in the base pay for workers' compensation fringes that have a calculation method of Straight pay.
Does this help?

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for sharing, currently the "Straight Pay" box isnt checked on Sick, Vaca, & Holiday Pay IDs. However for the Calc Method field, this is currently set up as "Other units" since we have accrual formula for Sick & Vacation so I cannot change this to Regular. This is worth testing out, maybe my answer at least for the W/C Accrual .... standby..
