Jamaica Additional Updates 2025 - 2026






Dear Client. 


As we approach the new year, please note the following steps to complete after your year-end close process and before running your first payroll cycle for 2026.


1. System Code Reset: The system codes adjusted to facilitate the 2025 threshold must be reset for 2026. This ensures the system uses the updated total amount for the new year rather than the proration amount from the previous year.

2. Tax Method Adjustment: Additionally, all pay groups configured with the Smoothing tax method must be updated to Non-Smoothing. This change is necessary to facilitate the correct calculation of taxes in alignment with Jamaica's government requirements.

Please ensure these adjustments are made to avoid discrepancies in your payroll calculations. If you require assistance, please submit a request to our Help Desk Team. Alternatively, if you are completing the changes independently, kindly notify us once they are done.
