How to record Small Benefit Exemption
Description

Only the employees that you process an expense payment for show on the Enhanced Reporting Submission screen.

You can process Small Benefits Exemption payments in Time and Pay to report the relevant information to Revenue via your software.

A Small Benefit Exemption isn't a cash payment. When processing this payment, also process a net deduction to ensure the benefit doesn't appear in the employee's net pay.
