Third-Party Sick Pay Overview In this topic, you will learn how third-party sick pay is displayed on the Master Control and Wage & Tax Register and where it is entered in your payroll application. What Is Third-Party Sick Pay? Third-party sick pay is a benefit in which an employee receives compensation from a third party, such as an insurance provider, union plan, or the state for a non-job-related injury or short-term illness. After a six-month period, payments are no longer considered short term, but are considered long-term disability, which has different taxing implications.

Explore: Wage & Tax Register Important Information ADP is not responsible for calculating third-party sick pay or determining the taxability. The employer, based on information provided by the insurance carrier, determines what is considered taxable and nontaxable. Do not enter third-party sick pay information for more than six months. After the six-month period, the payments are considered long-term disability. If you need to enter state or local taxes as part of your third-party sick pay information, contact your ADP service team. Copyright 2009 2018 ADP, LLC 9 V05181834587_3NH

Tax Grids Overview In this topic, you will learn about tax grids and how earnings or deductions are displayed on the Master Control and Wage & Tax Register. In addition, you will learn about the effects a tax grid has on payroll and quarterly tax reports. What Is a Tax Grid? Tax grids allow selected deductions, gross earnings, or a portion of earnings to be exempt from a specific tax or taxable. You are responsible for determining the taxability of specified moneys. ADP requires a letter stating which types of earnings are exempt from which taxes and the reasons they are exempt. Taxability A tax grid can be set up so that certain earnings or deductions are exempt from any or all combinations of the following taxes and taxables: Federal, state, and city withholding tax and taxable SUI/SDI tax and taxable Second state and second city withholding tax and taxable FUTA taxable Social Security and Medicare tax and taxable Explore: Master Control, Company Options Page Copyright 2009 2018 ADP, LLC 10 V05181834587_3NH

Group Term Life Overview In this topic, you will learn about group term life and how it is displayed on the Master Control and Wage & Tax Register and where it is entered in your payroll application. What Is Group Term Life? Group term life (GTL) is life insurance that accrues no cash value and is paid for fully or in part by the employer. The employer-paid portion of the premium for insurance coverage over $50,000 is considered taxable income to the employee.

Explore: Wage & Tax Register How to Enter You can enter GTL in one of two ways, depending on whether you or ADP calculate the amount. Entry Methods and Descriptions Entry Method Automated GTL Memo code Description A feature within the ADP system that automatically calculates GTL. No other entry is required because the amount is reported every payroll. Enter the GTL dollar amount in paydata as a memo entry. Important Information GTL must be processed on a live check to collect the Social Security, Medicare, and SUI/SDI associated with the GTL amount. When you terminate an employee, post the GTL premium amount to your payroll at that time unless it has already been posted each payroll period to date. The coding and posting of group term life amounts vary by company. If you are uncertain about your company setup, contact your ADP service team for entry instructions. Copyright 2009 2018 ADP, LLC 15 V05181834587_3NH

Health Savings Accounts Overview In this topic, you will learn about health savings accounts and how they are displayed on the Master Control and Wage & Tax Register. What Is a Health Savings Account? A health savings account (HSA) is an alternative to traditional health insurance. It is a savings product that offers a different way for consumers to pay for their health care. HSAs enable you to pay for current health expenses and save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax-free basis. You must be covered by a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) to be able to take advantage of HSAs. An HDHP generally costs less than what traditional health care coverage costs, so you can put the money that you save on insurance into a health savings account. Benefits Health savings accounts provide the following benefits: You own and control the money in your HSA. You can set up the account for direct deposit. Decisions on how to spend the money are made by you without relying on a third party or health insurer. You decide what types of investments to make with the money in the account in order for it to grow. You have triple tax savings. Funds remain in the account from year to year. There are no "use it or lose it" rules. Contribution Types and Descriptions Contribution Type Employee contribution Employee salary reduction contribution (cafeteria 125 plan) Employer contribution Description A contribution where the employee's taxable income is not reduced by the amount of the HSA deduction. The employee can claim the HSA deduction on his or her Form 1040 and must complete Form 8889. A contribution where the employee can choose to have his or her taxable income reduced by the amount of the HSA deduction. The employee cannot claim the HSA deduction on his or her 1040 and must complete Form 8889. Note: By law, the employee salary reduction contribution is considered an employer contribution under a cafeteria 125 plan because it is an employer-provided plan in which the employee can choose to have the employer reduce his or her salary. The employer contributes to the employee's health savings account outside of payroll. Note: On Form W-2, Box 12 will display a W for the combined total of employee salary reduction contributions (cafeteria 125 plan) and employer contributions.

How to Enter The method for entering an HSA depends on the type of contribution. Entry Methods and Descriptions Entry Method Employee contribution Employee salary reduction contribution (cafeteria 125 plan) Employer contribution Description Code employees with the appropriate permanent deduction code and a goal limit to stop the deduction when the contribution limit is met. Code employees with the permanent cafeteria 125 deduction code and a goal limit to stop the deduction when the contribution limit is met. Code employees with the appropriate memo code, and contact ADP to set up a special calculation to alert you when the contribution limit has reached its goal.

Deferred Compensation Overview In this topic, you will learn about deferred compensation plans and how they are displayed on the Master Control and Wage & Tax Register. What Is Deferred Compensation? Deferred compensation is an employer-provided benefit plan in which an employee requests a voluntary reduction of gross pay. The employer takes the amount of the pay reduction and deposits it in an investment account. The employee has the benefit of reduced taxable gross income. Often, employers make contributions to the plan on behalf of their employees. Types, Descriptions, and Annual Limits Type Description Annual Limit 401(k) 403(b) Cash or deferred arrangements for nongovernment and nonexempt organizations with over 25 employees A salary reduction annuity for public schools or other tax-exempt organizations $ $ Catch-up* $ 408(k) 408(p) Simple A salary reduction for a simplified employee pension like a 401(k) but for 25 or fewer employees Applicable to employers with 100 or fewer employees who received at least $5,000 in compensation in the previous year Note: Another type of employer-sponsored retirement plan is not allowed. $ Catch-up* $ $ Catch-up* $ $ Catch-up* 457 Similar to 401(k); used by state and local governments 501(c) Note: Employees can choose only one catch-up plan. The new catch-up plan is not applicable for the last three years before retirement. Used by tax-exempt organizations, such as hospitals and churches $ $ Catch-up* $ *Note: Only employees who are aged 50 years or older by the end of the calendar year qualify for the catch-up plan. Copyright 2009 2018 ADP, LLC 20 V05181834587_3NH

Catch-Up Contribution Plan Provisions Participants in 401(k), 403(b), 408(k), 408(p), or 457 plans who are aged 50 and over will be permitted to contribute an additional pretax amount (catch-up contribution). The otherwise applicable contribution limit on elective deferrals is replaced with a higher limit for such individuals. It is an optional provision that is decided by the employer. Another important part of catch-up provisions is to determine the states that follow these new catch-up contribution limits for the purpose of determining taxable wages for state income tax.

Explore: Wage & Tax Register How to Enter Many deferred compensation deductions are handled using an ADP special calculation that automatically calculates the deduction amount based on a percentage of earnings. Because most plans allow employees to contribute various percentages, a calculation percentage is set up for each employee participating in the plan. Verify with your ADP service team how your company is set up before you make any payroll entries. Copyright 2009 2018 ADP, LLC 22 V05181834587_3NH

Taxable Fringe Benefits Overview In this topic, you will learn about taxable fringe benefits and how they are displayed on the Master Control and Wage & Tax Register. What Are Taxable Fringe Benefits? Taxable fringe benefits are employer-provided, noncash payments other than wages that the IRS considers taxable. Fringe benefits must be part of normal pay. They are first added to earnings and then deducted from net pay. The system determines the amount of taxes due by calculating the ratio of the fringe benefit to the total wages. Taxable fringe benefits are not directly related to running the business but are provided for the employee s personal benefit. Common examples include the following: Awards Automobiles (personal use) Below-market interest rate on loans Flights on company planes Free or discounted flights on commercial airlines Vacations Memberships in health, country, or social clubs Tickets to entertainment events Gift cards To learn more about taxable fringe benefits, see IRS Publication 15-B, Employer's Tax Guide to Fringe Benefits at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15b.pdf. Taxability Employee Employer FIT SS/Med SIT SUI/SDI Local SS/Med SUI/SDI FUTA Yes Yes Varies Varies Varies Yes Yes Yes Copyright 2009 2018 ADP, LLC 23 V05181834587_3NH

Explore: Master Control Explore: Wage & Tax Register How to Enter You must include the value of the taxable fringe benefit as part of earnings. The process is as follows: The value of the benefit is added to earnings. The total earnings, including the fringe benefit, are taxed. The benefit is deducted from net pay so that the employee does not receive the value of the benefit in his or her pay. In ADP Workforce Now, on the paydata grid, enter the amounts in the coded earnings column and the corresponding deduction column. Copyright 2009 2018 ADP, LLC 24 V05181834587_3NH

Form W-2, Box 13 Retirement Plan/Qualified Pension Indicator Overview In this topic, you will learn about Box 13 on Form W-2 and how that information is displayed on the Master Control and Wage & Tax Register. What Is the Form W-2, Box 13 Retirement Plan/Qualified Pension Indicator? The Retirement Plan indicator is a check box in Box 13 of Form W-2. When selected, this check box shows whether an employee was an active participant in your company s retirement plan during any part of the year. This check box should be selected if the employee was an active participant in a qualified pension plan. What Is a Qualified Pension Plan? A pension plan is a type of retirement plan that is established by an employer for the employee s benefit. A pension plan is considered qualified when it meets the IRS guidelines for favorable tax treatment. For example, a deferred compensation plan is a qualified pension plan because employees can contribute to their pension on a pretax basis. Company Setup ADP will automatically select the Retirement Plan check box on Form W-2 for employees with year-to-date amounts for the following deferred compensation plans: 401(k) 403(b) 408(k) 408(p) 501(c) A company-level default is used to control whether the Retirement Plan check box is selected for employees who do not have year-to-date deferrals in these compensation plans. Company Defaults and Effects on Form W-2 Company Default Effect on Form W-2 Yes No Employee The Retirement Plan check box is selected for employees unless you override an employee's coding. The Retirement Plan check box is left blank for employees unless you override an employee's coding. The Retirement Plan check box is selected or left blank based on each employee s coding.

How to Enter ADP will automatically select the Retirement Plan check box when the following occurs: Your employees make elective deferrals to qualified plans during the year and your company is set up with any of the three company-level defaults. Your employees do not have year-to-date deferrals and your company is set up with the Yes company default. ADP will not select the Retirement Plan check box if your employees do not have year-to-date deferrals and your company is set up with the No company default. You can make selections for individual employees by overriding the Yes or No company default. If your company is set up with the Employee company default, you will need to code individual employees.
