These employees have wages for 2024 but are not appearing under the Year End Reports.
Any ideas why?
Any codes tied to PR27 that print on the W-2 can’t result in negative amounts or you will receive this edit and the W-2 will not get created. We have had this error in Lawson Payroll v10 for various benefit refund scenarios.
One example might be a 2023 benefit refund that was paid back to the employee in January 2024. The employee no longer had this benefit in 2024, so it creates a negative year-to-date amount for that benefit, which the system doesn’t like.
I believe we created a PR82 adj posting to payroll year 2024 to move the negative amount from the benefit deduction to a Wash deduction (that they coded to the same GL account as the benefit so that it didn’t impact the GL). If you don’t like the idea that the negative dollars were moved, once you create W-2’s, you could go back and enter another PR82 to payroll year 2024 to reverse the entry you just made.
Thank you! I will share with my team.
