Does sage 50 CA version 2021.1 solve the problem of T4 when the company has semi-monthly payroll?

SUGGESTED

I just update our Sage 50 to 2021.1 version and generate T4 for 2020.

However, I found the data in box 57,  58  ,  59,  60  (required by government for 2020 Covid-19)  are not correct.

Our company has a semi-monthly payroll period. However, 57 , 58, 59, 60 requires 8 weeks' amount.  The data in each box is not correct. 

Does anyone has the same problem and does anyone know how to solve it?  Is there a place that I could enter the data in box 57,58,59,60 manually ?

    In the upper right-hand corner of your Sage 50 Home Screen, there is a bell icon that is a list of messages Sage has sent you.  There should be one indicating an update is coming next week to correct the T4 box 57-60 problem when vacation pay is paid on every cheque.  I am not currently doing any semi-monthly payroll so I don't know if there is an issue specifically due to that payroll frequency.
