Payroll (US)

Added the EIWO Import – Include Only System Payees (US Only) checkbox in the Payroll section in the Properties tab in System Admin > Client Properties. Select this checkbox to show only System Payees. The Payee column in the Support Order tab in Reporting and Analytics > E-IWO Import, shows the full name of the payee, which you can use to compare against the payee in the Payroll section of the Properties tab.

If the System Payee:

• Is an exact match with a payee in the System Payee table, the Payee column in the Support Order tab shows the matching payee.
• Is not an exact match, but if there is a match using the wildcard logic from the System Payee tab, Dayforce shows the matching payee. Otherwise, Dayforce references the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code for the state to determine the issuing authority.
• Does not match any of the previous options, the Payee field remains blank and the existing logic to generate the error, E20, applies. In this scenario, to accept or publish the payee, you need to manually select the payee.

If the EIWO Import – Include Only System Payees (US Only) checkbox in the Payroll section in the Properties tab is cleared, the lookup is based on System and Custom Payees. The default setting for this checkbox is cleared. You can activate this feature by selecting the checkbox.

• If there is an exact match in the System or Custom Payee table, the payee match shows in the Payee column in the Support Order tab and matches the payee listed in the Third-Party Payee table (Child Support Payments).
• If there is not an exact match in the System or Custom Payee table but there is a match using the wildcard logic, the System or Custom Payee table shows the payee in the Third-Party Payee table (Child Support Payments).
• If there is not a match to either exact or wildcard methods, the Payee field remains blank and the existing logic to generate the error, E20, applies. In this scenario, to accept or publish the payee, you need to manually select the payee.

Updated Dayforce to apply a new filename format when you generate the Electronic Income Withholding Order (EIWO) Acknowledgement file. With this release, the new filename format is <FEIN>.ACK.<timestamp>000.XML and uses a 24-hour timestamp instead of the 12-hour timestamp. The previous filename format, ACK<timestamp><FEIN>.XML, had issues with improperly named files.

Updated the process for calculating State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) tax for jurisdictions with no limitations on tax amounts. A municipality in Kansas pays SUI taxes on the Total Taxable Wages with no limit. With this release, selecting the Report Full Subject Wages option on the Tax Setting screen in Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity, in the Tax Authorities tab, sends an indicator to the Dayforce Tax Engine (DTE) to calculate SUI tax on the Total Taxable Wages without a limitation. Previously, the Report Full Subject Wages option only calculated taxes up to the limit and now this option allows for Total Taxable Wages with no limits in calculating SUI taxes.
