Calculating a gross wage amount from a net pay amount

Use the Gross Up Calculation (PR189) to calculate a gross wage amount from a net pay amount. PR189 creates a time record and a payment with deductions.

Note: This program is only available for US employees.

Processing considerations:

  • If you select a percent pre-tax deduction within a deduction cycle, an amount will not be calculated because there is no wage amount available.

  • Pre-tax deductions are processed before the interface to the tax engine for the Gross Up calculation.

  • One Time deductions are not processed by the Gross Up Calculation.

  • You can process gross up payments as a unique payroll cycle, or as a part of a regular payroll cycle.

Note: You cannot process gross up payments in Manual Check (PR80.1).

The following process flow shows gross up payments processed as a unique payroll cycle.

Note: Does not apply to ALLTAX.
Procedure relationship: Gross Up payments in unique payroll cycle

This process flow shows gross up payments processed as part of a regular payroll cycle.

Note: If you process gross up payments during a regular payroll cycle, you must define a job name that is different from Payment Print (PR160) job for regular payments. You must also define unique names for Tape, Receipt, and Check.

Note: Gross up payments will display separately in Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140) and Payroll Register (PR141).

Calculate a gross wage amount from a net pay amount

  1. Access Gross Up Calculation (PR189).
  2. Select the Main tab. Specify this information:
    Payment Date

    Type the payment date. The payment date prints on payments when Payment Print (PR160) is run. This date determines what deductions to process.

    Deduction Cycle

    Select a deduction cycle. The deduction cycle determines which deductions are taken for the payroll cycle.

    Report Only

    Select Yes to produce an edit report without creating actual payment records.

    If you select No, the report creates payment records in addition to the edit report. You must create payment records before you can run Payment Print (PR160).

    Override Bank Code

    If you select a bank code, your selection overrides the bank and cash accounts associated with the employee's process level.

    Note: Must be a US bank code.

    To complete a bank code override, you must also select the override bank code in Payment Print (PR160).

    Garn Report Sequence

    Select the value indicating the order to list garnishments.

    This report is used to verify the calculation of the garnishments processed in this payroll cycle.

    No Dir Dep, All System Payments

    If you select yes, the payroll produces only system checks for employees, regardless of whether or not the employees are setup for direct deposit on the employee master.

  3. Select the Selection tab to run the report for an entire company, a process level, department, user level, employee group or individual employees. Other selection criteria include pay frequency, include/exclude, and status codes.
  4. Select the Time Record tab to define information for the time record that PR189 creates.
  5. Select the Add form action to add the job.
  6. Select the Submit form action to Submit the form.

    You cannot delete a Gross Up payment/time record after it is printed. You must void and close the payment.
