Alabama Exempt Overtime Now Included in Aatrix AUF (U.S. only)

In accordance with Alabama reporting requirements for overtime compensation, the Aatrix W-2 AUF will now include overtime wages, as reported in Box 14 (EX AL OT) of the Aatrix W-2/1099 Preparer form.

In addition, a new Alabama Tax Exempt Wages query was added to the Accounting Work Center under the Payroll folder (Items > Payroll > Alabama Tax Exempt Wages). Once you enter the month range (for example, 01/2024 - 12/2024), the grid displays all employees within the range that have overtime wages. The amount shown in the Total Exempt Amt column should match what is reported in Box 14 (in Aatrix) and is the amount included for each employee in the Aatrix W-2 AUF file.

Note: All wages and associated Earn Codes must be set up to be subject to Alabama withholding for the calculation to be accurate (in PR Deductions/Liabilities, Basis Codes tab).

Resync Total Contract Amount

You can now resync Original and Current Contract amounts when they do not match the sum of the contract's item amounts.

A new option, Resync Total Contract Amount, was added to the File menu in JC Contracts. Selecting this option initiates a process that syncs the Total Orig. Contract and Total Curr Contract amounts (shown in the upper right corner of the JC Contracts form) with the sum of contract item original and current amounts (respectively).

If the totals are in sync, the system displays a message stating, "Contract Amount is already in sync." If the totals are not in sync, the system updates the contract's totals accordingly and displays a message stating, "Contract amount has been synced. The values for Original Contract Amount and Contract Amount have adjusted to be the sum of the items."

You should typically not need to use this feature, as these amounts are generally updated by the system automatically when adding estimates or posting costs.
