Currently if someone is marked as exempt in Vista and they submit a change through "update info", the change goes through but since the calculation method is different in 'PR Employee dedns/LIabs' for exempt employees than regular withholdings in Vista, it does not actually change. The system needs to trigger an alert, or actually change the calculation method. Since we have no warning, when we approve the W4 withholding change, we believe everything went through as expected except that employee continued to be exempt causing them to not have any taxes withheld. We wouldn't have known this was occurring until an employee let us know.

We definitely need a better process to handle the election of 'Exempt from Withholding' and the lack of visibility to the Employee on the Portal as well as the HR Users who do not routinely open PR EE Dedns. Our workaround is to populate the Deduction Amount with 9,999,999 for those claiming Exempt so that it is more visible everywhere (and 99 for the No of Regular Exemptions in the pre-2020 W-4 era).
