Development

Issue #53598 – New mapping table for 941

In order to pull COVID-19 Time and Attendance code wage and tax data to the new 941 report, a

mapping conversion was created. This is the first step to process the 2020 941 if using the Covid-19

codes for liabilities that do not have to be paid.

Counties are allowed to use only (employee) sick and (family-related) sick COVID-19 Time and

Attendance codes for this purpose.

To process the code mapping, open the Payroll Control Menu / Time and Attendance codes.

Select the Covid-19 code used for (employee) sick, then the Covid Time and Attendance Mapping

icon. As many sick and/or family codes may be selected and added at a time for each mapping.

From the Covid T\A Type Code, click the down arrow to make the CVSICK selection, then click the Add

button.

If your county used Covid family-related sick, follow the same steps for that particular code.

Make the CVFML selection for that code, then click Add (if needed, the mapping codes can be changed).

There are not notable differences or changes to these codes, it is only mapped in the back ground.

New

Issue #53356 – New 941QCV report

This is for qualifying Covid Time and Attendance codes being applied to liabilities that will not have to be

paid by the county.

After the mapping is complete, run the 941 FEDERAL TAX QTD CV REPORT (PR941QVC) from the Payroll

Main Menu / Reports.

Lines 5a (i) and 5a (ii) are new for sick and family leave wage computations. All other amounts will need to be compared to the YTD/QTD EARNINGS (PR027) report as normal when balancing the 941. The total FICA earnings amount on line 5a minus Qualified sick leave wages 5a (i) and Qualified family leave wages 5a (ii) total line 5c. Line 7 is the total of Qualified sick leave wages and Qualified family leave wages and any other quarter’s adjustment for fractions of cents.
