The tax tables used within SDS are the Annual tax tables each district needs to assign to each employee how the tables will be converted when the payroll is calculated.
Assigning number of pays within SDS:
•Human Resources/Add, Change Employee Information
•Check mark Payroll Control
•Use drop down arrow to select number of pays
This is done by assigning the number of payrolls (Times Paid) to the employee that will be paid out during the year.
Example:
•If your district pays once a month, the Tax Table should be a “12”
•If your district pays bi-weekly, the Tax Table should be a “26”
•If your district pays semi-monthly, the Tax Table should be a “24”
•If your district pays weekly, the Tax Table should be a “52”
•If you district pays certified staff monthly and non-certified staff semi-monthly, then the tax table will be a “12” or a “24” depending on the employee.
