Does anyone out there pay employees expense reimbursements such as travel through payroll? If so, how? Thanks. Frank Gatti CAP of Lancaster County Lancaster, PA 717-299-7301

Yes, Frank, our school does. We have set up a number of reimbursements as Other Pays in Configuration-Payroll. With each Other Pay you have a variety of options (taxing or not taxing the reimbursement as applicable, etc.). Then, on the employee's record, choose the Other Pay tab and add a New Other Pay from the list you set up in Configuration. If it's a one-time pay, be sure to delete it after the check has been processed. There are specific details in the Online Manual. Good Luck!

Unless your employees are getting reimbursed every pay period under the same Other Pay Code, I would suggest not setting up the code on the employee record, but adding it on the fly during the calculation and answering NO to adding the code to the employee record. This way you get the payment into the check, but you don not have to worry about remembering to delete the code from the emploiyee record after running the calculation.
