Your Adjusted_Gross is probably = 0 which is throwing off your calculation. To fix that, go to Maintain > Default Information > Employees > Company Fields. Find the line for this deduction and click the "Adjust" button. A window will open that lets you define Adjusted Gross for this deduction. Check the Gross box and save your changes. Then your formula should work. But let's take a step back and look at this another way. You said "In TN, 1/3 of overtime is exempt." That seems like another way of saying that the overtime premium is exempt from workers comp. Or, you need to multiply both regular hours and overtime hours times the pay rate for straight time to get the wages subject to workers comp. If that is an accurate description of what you need to do, then if you enter each employee's regular pay rate in the Employee Special 1 Addl Withholding field you could use this formula without making changes to the Adjusted Gross settings. A=(Regular+Overtime)*EMP_Special1_NUMBER; ANSWER=-A*.033325 Of course, if your hourly pay fields are anything other than Regular and Overtime, you would have to adjust that line of the formula accordingly.
