Filter Web Portal Payment Date

An export for Social Security Verification is now available.

Get opposite benefit rate code amount process procedure
This functionality will find the appropriate deduction or employer contribution based on the benefit status code that is linked to the employee's deduction card and the amounts in the benefit rate details.
