HR Actions Drops W-4 Interface

with Sage Abra Suite Payroll

The New Version of Sage HRMS HR Actions (HR Actions) Drops W-4 Interface with Sage Abra Suite Payroll

Why?

Anticipating the retirement of Sage Abra Suite in December 2020, Delphia Consulting announced that with the release of Sage HRMS HR Actions Version 10.7.16, the W-4 solution will no longer interface with Abra Suite Payroll.

This decision highlights the importance of moving off the soon retired product. As you know, the last product update for Sage Abra Suite is September 2020.

Planning for the move 

In order to have the information required for year-end reporting, you will need to be off Abra Suite and onto another solution by December 1. It seems like a long way in the future, but time passes quickly. (Check our Countdown Update post to see just how quickly.)

If you’re planning to migrate to Sage HRMS, you should begin the process now. Using our migration tool (Automated SQL Migration for Sage Abra Suite) and methodology, our team can usually complete a migration in 90 days or less. Still, it takes time to prepare.

Next steps

You can sign up for one of our educational webinars at www.MigrateToHrms.com to learn more about the migration process and ask your questions. Or, if you already know you want to migrate, you can call us at 1.888.421.2004 or fill out our Contact Product Sales form, and we will get back to you to discuss your next steps.

Clarification for Regular Rate

under the Fair Labor Standards Act

On December 12, 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced a Final Rule on Regular Rate under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) that clarifies which benefits and perks must be included in employees’ regular rate of pay and which can be excluded.

This Final Rule includes a list of what employers may exclude from an employee’s regular rate of pay when determining their exempt or non-exempt status.
