Unable to enter Massachusetts employee medical leave share of 100% for 1-24 individuals covered. The logic on the form seems to be backwards for company size.

The form is enforcing a max of 40% for a small company, but allows up to 100% for a larger company (25 or more) (backwards, I think).  This is on Payroll Taxes Setup and Compliance screen.

Hi there,

 

Yes, you're right. If the employer has 1-24 covered individuals, the Medical leave total percentage is 40%. For 25 covered individuals, you can add up to 100%. Since, you only cover 1-24 individuals, you only have a 40% option.

 

QuickBooks follows what your state mandates. You can check with the MA website to have a detailed information about this matter. 

 

I've also shared this article about the MA Leave Program: Massachusetts Paid Family Leave.

 

I'm just around the corner if you still need my help.

Hello.

I went back to the mass.gov page Contribution rate split for employers with fewer than 25 covered individuals    .  It appears that Intuit has the rules for 1-24 vs. 25+ employees reversed.

Small employers are exempt from paying into the Medical leave portion, and can pay 0-100% for the Family leave.  Family leave individual share % is the setting I'm unable to make - it is limiting me to no more than 40% when 100% should be allowed.

Hi again, Daren. 

 

In QuickBooks Online, employers with fewer than 25 covered individuals, the equivalent 100% of their share is 40%. The option to have the 100% share will show if the system recognizes that you have more than 25 covered individuals. 

 

My colleague attached an article above that will further help you in setting up the employee's Massachusetts Paid Family Leave. 

 

We have a few Payroll reports that will give you an overview of your employee's MA PMFL contributions and the withholding. You can also manage the report by customizing, printing, or sending it via email. 

 

I'll be here to help if you need anything else with setting up your employees.
