Processing Workweeks for Payroll

Workweeks are defined within the EBMS Payroll system as the number of weeks that an employee earns the minimum gross wage or greater. Workweeks are calculated within payroll for unemployment tax purposes and are incremented every week that the gross pay is equal to or greater than the Credit Workweek Amount found in the worker record Advanced tab.

• To set the same Credit Workweek Amount for all workers, go to Labor > Workers, right-click on the top-level Workers category folder and click Edit Defaults in the context menu. On the Workers category defaults Advanced tab, set the Credit Workweek Amount. Right-click on the field and select Filter Down from the context menu to apply the amount to all workers. Click OK to save changes.
• To set a Credit Workweek Amount for a single employee, go to Labor > Workers and double-click on a worker ID in the list to open the worker record. Go to the Advanced Tab and set the Credit Workweek Amount for the individual worker. Click OK to save changes.

Check with your accountant or a Koble Systems consultant to maintain the Credit Workweek Amount.

Workweeks are calculated within a timecard at the same time taxes are calculated. The total gross wages must be greater than the Credit Workweek Amount each week. For a full-time employee on a bi-weekly payroll cadence, the average credit workweeks would be two weeks per timecard.

Workweek totals are accumulated within the worker record history year tabs. Go to a year tab on a worker record and look for Workweeks.

Drill down on workweek totals by right-clicking on one of the total fields in the Workweeks column and selecting Drill Down from the context menu. A detailed list displaying the source of all the workweeks for the given month will be shown.
