  • There continues to be tax related issues when both Covid 19 pay and regular pay are on the same check even after installing 2.20.1 and PR6024T.  I understand Sage is aware of this issue and working on a fix.  We have several clients ramping up this week - is there an ETA on the availability of the fix?

    I have clients reporting that LST (Local Service Taxes) are being deducted from both the Regular and EPL Wages, even when 2 sequences are used as instructed to separate the earnings codes. So for instance, Sequence "1" has 20 hours and Sequence "2" has 20 hours, yet they both deduct the LST as if they don't know about each other.

    We are currently working on resolving this issue which would eliminate the need to create multiple check entries. as a temporary workaround you can create a new tax profile where you would not select the checkbox for the LST Withholding and use that new tax profile for the 2nd entry or you can leave as is and then the employee would reach the limit sooner.
