PAY: 401K Report
Overview
The 401K Report is used to prepare a 401K TFransmittal Report (with or without details) or to list employees for a Census Status, to list 401K deferred amounts, or to calculate the employers' 401K match amount.
The 401K Transmittal Report accommodates for any 401K Other Deduction Code activity. Since it is possible to have multiple 401K Plans, the system calculated 401K is always referred to as the "Standard" Plan (ID #1). You can set up other plans in the Other Deduction area under 401K Options, Plan add/edit list using a different ID and description.
Subcontractor Checks are excluded from this report.
You may sort the report by Employee Number, Social Security Number or Employee Name.
You may also select to include records from employees based on their status (Active, Leave of Absence, Inactive, or All).
You may filter the report by Check Dates, Employees, Hire Dates, Companies, Locations, and Paycheck Companies based on the Report Type. If you are preparing the report for employees with an Inactive status, you may also filter by Inactive Reasons.
For information on computation of 401K Earnings, Gross Earnings, and Deferral Amounts, see 401K Report.
The PAY Report 401k screen has its own Security Group, SECURITY GROUP.
The PAY Report 401k screen is part of the PAY Reports All Employees Security Group.

Computation of Hours

Computation of 401K Earnings
If a Payroll check that has deferred 401K activity does not already have 401K earnings computed (because the deferred activity came strictly from Other Deduction area), the system automatically calculates what the 401K earnings should be just as Payroll Processing does with the normal system calculated 401K.
Wages + Other Compensation (selected with Include in 401K Computations) – Other Deductions (selected with Include in 401K Computations) = 401K Earnings
Computation of the Deferral Amount:
The deferral amount includes all normal 401K deferral activity (through the system calculated standard plan), plus any other deduction activity for the plan that is marked as a “Deferral Deduction”.
401K Census Report
Computation of Gross Earnings
The Gross Earnings that prints on the 401K Census report is the Federal Gross Earnings figure and all Tax Deductible deductions that are marked to "Include in Gross Earnings".
