    • Bug Fixes
      • The withholding for Medicare payroll items for partial and full pickup employees was not calculating correctly when exceeding 200,000 in earnings, if the district had imported during the current Calendar year.  The Taxable Employer Pickup amount recorded during import was being added to the uninflated Applicable Gross instead of subtracted from it.  This caused the 200,000 threshold to be reached too soon and the withholding to be too high for Medicare on the Payroll that caused the threshold to be exceeded.  This bug did not affect any non-pickup employee, nor any employee with less than 200,000 in earnings this Calendar year.
