Cash in lieu of a Fringe Benefit

Revised:  7/2021

 

The cash in lieu of a fringe benefit option replaces the need to setup a secondary time card or contract for the cash in lieu of a fringe benefit.   This will apply the benefit, to be added, to the base Gross Pay.  Using this benefit setup, no payroll liability will be created and there will be a debit to the expense and credit to decrease cash included in the Payroll Transaction that is created by the system.
