Payment Modeling (PR89.1)

Use Payment Modeling (PR89.1) to model payments or perform net-to-gross calculations.

Note: If you enter an amount in the Exempt field, the calculation is approximate and not an exact amount.

Processing Effect

Current PR89 functionality has limitations when calculating based on selected tax deductions for employees set up with a tax filter of 1. In order for the local deduction to calculate in this scenario, you will need to populate the local authority on the Taxes tab.

Local resident authorities are only set up to automatically default to PR89.1 if:

The employee’s tax filter is set to 2 (Locate Fed/State) or 3 (Locate Federal).
- and -
The employee has Resident City populated on HR11.1 (Employee) or PR13.1 (Employee).

Note: PR89.1 will only default the resident city authority, not the work city authority. Alternatively, if you want to take only federal, state, and local taxes in the modeling tool, you can populate the PR89.1 deduction cycle field (selecting a cycle that contains only taxes) instead of flagging each individual tax deduction. PR89.1 would then show city taxes as expected.

More Information

When you inquire on a specific employee, values defined on the employee record default in the appropriate fields. You can enter a deduction cycle and a payment date to retrieve actual deduction information. You can override any field on the form to process "what if" scenarios for an employee.

If you do not select an employee, you must enter the desired deduction amounts or percentages by deduction type, and select the applicable taxes to be included by entering X (Select) next to the desired tax in PR89.3 (Payment Calculation). You can optionally enter other tax information in the Tax Information subform.

To process a net-to-gross calculation, leave the Gross Amount field blank and type an amount in the Net Amount field. When the calculation is complete, the form displays the gross amount the employee must be paid to achieve the net amount entered.

Three options are available to determine the gross amount to be used in the calculation.

Type the total gross amount and hours for payment modeling.
Select the salary class and type the appropriate annual or hourly rate, and allow the system to calculate the gross.
For a calculation based on a step and grade schedule, select the appropriate schedule, step, and grade, and allow the system to calculate the gross.

After you perform payment modeling, you can use the Xfer key to transfer to PR80 (Manual Payment). Select a reserved payment number, select a pay code, enter the calculated gross amount in the Amount field, select X (Calculate), and press OK, to create a payment.
