Missing Earning Code Taxability Settings

How to clear error messages during payroll processing regarding missing earning code taxability settings.

What does this error mean?

You are receiving this error during payroll processing because you have a custom earning or deduction code missing the agency's taxability settings specified in the error message.

Most regular earning or deduction codes have tax settings built in the background, but custom earnings and deductions will need to have each tax agency manually added with their required settings.

This error message is caused by one of the following:

• You recently added a new tax code, or
• You are using a custom earning/deduction that is not often in use, and you will receive this error message on any tax code added since the last time you used it
