FAQ: In the Employee File, the deductions reflect the old rates instead of the new rates; why?

I have entered my new deduction rates into the Rate Table in the Deduction File.  In the Employee File, the rates for the selected rate descriptions still reflect the old rates.  Why?

The rates displayed for the selected rate descriptions in the Employee File will reflect the rates that are entered into the fields located to the left of the Rate Change Date in the Deduction File.  If new rates were entered to the right of the Rate Change Date field, those rates will not be reflected in the Employee File until the Move Rate Table option is completed.  The Move Rate Table option shifts the new rates from the right side of the screen to the left side, so that the correct information displays when working with deductions in the Employee File.  To complete the Move Rate Table option for deductions, do the following:

  • From the Payroll screen, select the Maintenance menu and then Deductions.
  • At the Deductions screen, select the Options menu and then Move Rate Table.
  • When prompted, enter the date for which new rates to move (based on the defined Rate Change Dates of the new rates) and click OK.

Refer to the Move Rate Table topic in the Help File for further information.
