Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

When initializing Federal W2 data, incorporate the "sign" of a deduction. Do not use only absolute values.

When initializing Federal W2 data, incorporate the "sign" of a deduction.  For example, we have chosen to use a Pre-tax deduction for our Medical insurance and we also have a negative pretax deduction for those who have earned a wellness incentive.  This allows employees to "see" their incentive/savings on their pay stubs and reduces the need for another tier of HR Benefit rates.  When the Medical deduction and the incentive negative deduction are both mapped to the same Federal item on for W2s, it is adding the absolute values together rather than recognizing that one of them is negative.  We need to be able to indicate whether to recognize actual value or absolute value when completing the Federal Information grid.  We have had to manually correct each W2 with a Wellness Incentive for two years now.
