Annotate the Employee Earning Records with payroll-related benefit elections. The amount per period should be included in the record. As an example, if an employee elected to contribute $1,300 to his or her FSA, the period payroll deduction would be $1,300/26, or $50. The estimated yealy earnings used to compute the life insurance deduction for the hourly employees is: (hourly wages times number of hours worked per week 52 weeks). Multiply the yearly earnings by 1% and divide by 26 pay periods to get the insurance per pay period. Example: Employee earns $11 per hour and works 20 hours a week. ($11 20 52) = $11,440 estimated annual earnings. $11,440 1% = $114.40. $114.40 / 26 = $4.40 insurance amount per pay period.
