Global payroll overrides stop the processing of designated deductions and tax amounts during a specific payroll calendar run. Taxable wages continue to accumulate for the overridden taxes, but no taxes are withheld or contributed. Overridden deductions do not process and do not process into arrears. All deductions and taxes selected on the Global Payroll Overrides for a payroll calendar will not process amounts when that payroll calendar processes.
A global payroll override also enables forcing all employee direct deposit payments to paper payroll checks instead of ACH payments, as does the checkbox to "Force Pays to Check" on the payroll calendar validation table.
If a tax is marked to annualize-adjust on the tax code validation table, the next payroll processed may catch-up the tax amounts based on the difference between the taxes processed to-date and the calculated tax due based on the corresponding taxable wage accumulations.
In contrast to global payroll overrides per payroll calendar, overrides for one employee's check are applied on the detailed pay entry spreadsheet with manual checks, and overrides per check code are defined on Check Overrides.
For a special bonus payment payroll run where the Payroll Processor does not want to deduct any employee deductions except 401(k), the Payroll Processor would mark all employee deductions to skip on the Global Payroll Overrides for the payroll calendar, would leave the deduction for employee 401(K) unselected, and would apply the overrides.
For an adjustment payroll where the Payroll Processor needs only certain taxes to process for all employees, the Payroll Processor would mark the taxes to skip and would apply the overrides.
