Why Doesn’t My Direct Deposit Withdrawal Total Match the Employee Breakdown Total?

Question

Can Payroll Withdrawal Totals Differ from the Employee Breakdown Total?

Answer

The total shown for your Direct Deposit Withdrawal can differ slightly from the employee breakdown total due to non-remittable taxes included in the calculation.

When you hover over the “i” icon next to the Direct Deposit Withdrawal total, you’ll see the employee breakdown total, which includes:

• Employee net pay

• Employee taxes

• Employer taxes

These amounts may not perfectly add up to the total displayed because the Employee Taxes figure includes both:

• Remittable taxes (sent to tax agencies), and

• Non-remittable taxes, such as New York Paid Family Leave Insurance or New York SDI.

To review the difference:

1. Navigate to Payroll in your 7shifts account.

2. Select the pay run in question.

3. Open the Tax tab.

4. Review the tax line items to confirm which include non-remittable taxes.

The Direct Deposit Withdrawal total is calculated as
= Employee Net Pay + Employee Remittable Taxes + Employer Taxes

Because non-remittable taxes are excluded, you may see a small difference between the two totals.
