Receipts

Incorrect Message when Voiding a Receipt

When voiding a receipt that is in the current fiscal year, users were receiving an incorrect validation
message.  The message has been corrected.

Payroll

There was a bug in CTAS 2026 that had to do with Paid Leave Premiums has been corrected.

Data in posted payrolls may have changed after posting. CTAS was only saving the employee premium
amounts and not the employer premium amounts. This means CTAS needed to recalculate the employer amounts based on the current data in the Admin/Employee sections. If a change was made to the employer size in the Admin tab or a change to the employee data (enable/disable PFML or
employee/employer percentage split), the employer amounts would be recalculated based on the new
variables and therefore, could change, even though the payroll had been posted. This could affect PFML premiums, net pay, and tax information for every person on every payroll until you update to CTAS 2026 Update 1. A Corrections (F9) tab was created to correct this issue. In posted payrolls with a check date of 2026, the Corrections (F9) tab will appear. (It will not appear on unposted payrolls or payrolls that get posted in CTAS 2026 Update 1).    

Employer Adjustment Boxes ***

Employer adjustment boxes (fields) have been added to the CTAS payroll module to accommodate
adjustments that may need to be made in association with Minnesota Paid Leave.

Reports

PFML Account Distribution Report ***

A new report was created to aid in coding the disbursements that are made to the State of Minnesota to pay the employee/employer premiums. This report will work similar to the other account distribution reports in the Payroll (Year to Date) Report section. The report allocates the PFML premiums based on the account distribution that has been entered for each employee in the payroll or the employee record.

941/944 Reports

The 941/944 reports did not include the taxable PFML Employer – Additional contributions in the wage
amounts subject to withholding, Social Security, and Medicare. Due to this issue, the Social Security and Medicare taxes were calculating lower than they should have. This issue has been corrected in this
update.

Federal Taxes Account Distribution Report

The Social Security and Medicare taxes related to the PFML Employer – Additional
contributions were falling into the Unallocated Due to Rounding line. This issue has been corrected in
this update.
