Correcting Checks after Change in FICA-Exempt Status - CY
We had an employee who was on an F-1 VISA and (correctly) setup and calculating as FICA Exempt until early January.
Their VISA status changed, making them subject to FICA starting in mid-January of 2023.
As required, Payroll was not informed of this change until mid-June.
In mid-June the employee's Job Data row was updated to be subject to FICA, and from this date forward, all checks are calculating FICA correctly.
The Job Data update was retroactively applied in back to the date of the status change in mid-January.
Obviously this did not fix the checks/taxable wages, however if I void and reissue a check to correct the taxable wages, I would expect the checks to calculate FICA and include the wages as Taxable to FICA, but this is NOT happening.
