Introduction

Create Employer Fringe Posting File calculates the fringe benefits for the given pay period/month. Only benefits with a Fringe Type ID will be included in these calculation. This screen will only create the file, there is a separate file that post the file to ledger.

Report Options

• Select deduction frequency - Either Monthly or Pay Period
• Enter check date/Enter month ending date - Text changes based on frequency
• Only compute for employees with MTD wages greater than zero
• Only calculate fringe, don't create posting file
• Pay Group filter

Explanation

The Frequency and Fringe Type ID are both specified on the deductions. If the Fringe Type ID is not set, they deduction will not be calculated. Currently, pay period types that have Fringe Type IDs can also still be processed through Create Employee Contributions Posting File (monthly can only be done through this screen). After a fringe posting file is created, it may be rolled back through the Employer Fringe/Contributions Posting Rollback. If 'Only calculate fringe, don't create posting' is checked, the FringeDetail table will be updated, but no fringe posting file will be created.

Processing the posting file with the deduction frequency set to monthly will update the monthly deduction codes. This will ONLY update deduction codes where frequency is set as monthly. Deduction codes with pay period or blank frequency do not update employer cost. The employer cost is replaced with the full amount on the deduction code. If a mistake is made, rolling back the fringe posting can be used to decrease the employer cost by the full deduction code amount.
