Suppress Employer Contributions in all Payroll Runs

You can suppress an individual contribution for an employee by setting the contribution to inactive. If you suppress a contribution, DPS stops tracking the associated pay basis.

To suppress a contribution in the Employees hub:

1. On the Navigation menu, click Hubs > Employees.
2. On the Employees hub form, open the employee records for the employees who have contributions that you want to suppress.
3. In the Employer Contributions grid of the Payroll tab, set the Active field to Inactive for all contributions that you want to suppress for the employee.
4. Click Save.
5.  Repeat these steps to suppress contributions for additional employees. If an employee contribution is suppressed in the Employees hub, you cannot override that setting on the Employee Review tab of Payroll Processing. The withholding remains suppressed until you change the setting in the Employees hub.

   A suppressed withholding does add to the gross wages on any report related to the withholding.

Alternative procedures: To continue to track the pay basis, but contribute a zero amount on a single run, you can override the contribution during the payroll run. To do this, enter a zero amount for the contribution in the Contributions grid on the Employee Review tab of Payroll Processing.

To suppress a contribution for all employees on a company-wide basis, select Inactivate when processing payroll for the contribution code in Payroll Contribution Setup. If this option is selected, the contribution's Active field is set to System on the Employer Contributions grid in the Employees hub. The Employees hub setting overrides the company-wide setting.
