Change the state unemployment rate for a client

Add or edit a state unemployment rate (SUI/UI) for a client

  1. Select
    Setup
    Clients
    Payroll Taxes
     tab.
  2. In Edit mode, select the ellipsis next to the
    UI base rate
     field to open the
    Unemployment rate
     window.
  3. Select
    Add
     to enter a new unemployment rate, or
    Edit
     to change the existing rate. Enter the rate as a percentage. For example, if the state form displays .0025, enter
    .25
    .
    important
    The effective date for the rate must be the beginning date of a quarter (1/1, 4/1, 7/1, or 10/1) so that earnings-based reports and payroll forms will match check values. When a new rate is added, the default effective date will be the beginning date of the next quarter, based on the system date.

    Enter
     to save your changes, then select
    Done
