How do I handle an employee that works in multiple states?
Description
Cause
Resolution

Since the system does not allow you to maintain multiple SWT state or SUI/SDI state per employee ID, a new employee ID must be created for each state that the employee works within, and all payroll functions must be performed separately for each state. 

  • To activate the new state go to PR, Taxes, Activate States
  • Create a new employee for each different state the employee works in
  • PR, Employees, Maintain Employees, and assign the new state in the SWT state and SUI/SDI fields
  • Process a time card for those hours worked in each state

 NOTE:  For the New Employee ID, you will need to manually monitor and maintain federal limits and make any appropriate adjustments using manual payroll calculation. See How to use automatic and manual Payroll calculations for instructions on how to manually adjust any withholding
 NOTE: The Enhanced Tax Reporting feature includes an option to merge employees with the same SSN# into one W-2 file. When merging employee records the address, name, punctuation, and capitalization has to be the same for all records being merged.
