Employee Tax Code File Maintenance

Application Overview

Employee Tax Code File Maintenance application allows the user to maintain additional state or city tax codes per employee. These tax codes are in addition to the default state and city tax codes in the Employee file. The state or city withholding tax amount will be calculated the same as the default tax codes in the Employee file. The tax code calculation applies to all the hours worked or the entire salary in the pay period. The tax code may be active or inactive for each pay period.

NOTE: This application needs only to be used if multiple state or city withholding tax amounts must be calculated for the employee.

Run Insturctions

Select Employee Tax Code File from the pull down PR Maintenance window. The following screen will then be displayed:

Entry Field Descriptions

Name	Type and Description
1. Employee No	4 numeric digits (9999). Enter the employee number. In add, change, and delete mode, press the F7 key for employee search by number or press the F8 key for employee search by name.
Employee Name	28 alphanumeric characters. This field will display automatically when a valid employee number is found. Employee name will display again as described in field 1 above.
2. Tax Entity Type	1 alphanumeric character. Valid values are: S = State C = City This field cannot be left blank.
3. Tax Code	2 alphanumeric characters. The state or city tax code must have already been entered via the State/City Tax Code File application. The tax code entered here cannot match the tax code entered in the Employee File application for city or state.

Tax Code (continued)	In add mode, press the F7 key for tax code search. If field 2 above is S for state, only valid states will be displayed. If field 2 above is C, only valid cities will be displayed. Press the F1 key to search for next employee tax record on file.
4. Table Id	1 alphanumeric character. This is the counterpart of field 4 above for the tax code. This table ID must have already been entered via the State/City Tax Code File application. Leave this blank if you will not use a table to calculate withholding tax for this employee. You will be prompted by the system as to the available tax tables on file for this tax code.
5. Number Of Exm	2 numeric digits with no decimal places (99), or 7 numeric digits with 2 decimal places (99,999.99). The screen description changes by pressing the F1 key to $ Of Exemption and back again by pressing the F1 key a second time. You may enter either the number of exemptions for this employee when the Number Of Exm is displayed, or the flat dollar amount of the annual exemption when the $ Of Exemption appears. This allows flexibility in calculating the withholding tax for various states and cities. See the Package Overview section entitled State and City Tax Calculations for more information. Values of 98 or 99 in this field have a special significance, in connection with the added withholding tax field for the employee. If the number of exemptions is entered as 98, no withholding calculations will be done, but the added tax amounts will be treated as percentages, and the amount of tax withheld will be equal to the added tax amount (percent) times the employee taxable gross pay. If the number of exemptions entered is 99, then the withholding tax will be equal to the added withholding tax field.
6. Added Tax Amt	6 numeric digits with 2 decimal places (9,999.99). See the comments for field 5 above.

The percentage and maximum values for the state are given on the State/City Tax Code Record that corresponds to the Employee's State Tax Code. If an employee is exempt from SUI, the employer's SUI liability for this employee will be zero.
9. Wk Cmp Cd	5 alphanumeric characters. This is the workers compensation code for this employee. The system will track the workers compensation expense for a group of employees if you associate the same code for them.
10. Wk Cmp Rt	6 numeric digits with 4 decimal places (99.9999). This is the rate at which the workers compensation premium is calculated for this employee. It will be an amount per hour (for all hours worked) or a percent of wages (for all taxable wages received), depending on the workers compensation calculation method recorded on the state tax code record for this employee's state.
