| EEO1 Report (MPI_1401) will now
use new Job Categories and Ethnic codes |
|
|
| |
|
The EEO1 report (MPI_1401) has been modified to follow the new
labor classifications required for 2007.
"In 2007, the EEO-1 report will be modified. The major changes
involve dividing the job category of "Officials and Managers" into
two levels. Revised race/ethnic categories will also be implemented.
The EEOC plans to update the other reports to use the same race and
ethnic categories as the new EEO-1 but, before doing so, will give
respondents a full reporting cycle to change the record keeping. For
example, if the EEO-4 form is modified in 2007, the change will not
be implemented until 2009."
Please review your EEOC and Ethnicity codes and add the new or
revised codes to all companies.
Reassignment to some of the employees may be required. |

Millennium version

NM Workers Comp Fee
|
| |
The NM Workers Comp Fee has been added to the system. There are
2 new tax codes, NMWC and NMWC-E: NMWC is the employer portion which
will calculate at $2.30 per employee per quarter, NMWC-E is the
employee portion which will calculate at $2.00 per employee per
quarter.
As per New Mexico's rules this tax applies to any employee that is
actively employed as of the last day of the quarter and recommends
withholding this tax as close to the end of quarter as possible.
Unfortunately, this can lead to instances where the tax may not be
collected at all if that last payroll was never run for some reason.
There could also be cases where different employees are paid on a
different schedule so the last check date for some employees may not
be the same as others so simply programming M3 to use the last check
date of the quarter is not feasible. We have therefore programmed
the tax code to withhold the employee portion and calculate the
employer portion on the first paycheck of the quarter. This includes
existing employees and new hires when they receive their first
paycheck.
The 2 new codes will be payable with the NMWC code on a quarterly
basis (but not with the SUI return).
NOTE: BEFORE USING THESE NEW CODES YOU MUST UPDATE TO THIS VERSION
OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE TAX CODES WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY.
Also, if the employee does not have enough to cover the entire
employee portion in the check it will drop the entire amount until
the employee's next check. |

Customer Service Development Tags |

Updated the Add New
Employee Wizard |
| |
The Add New Employee Wizard will now ignore M3 User / Role
security when determining the next available employee id.
Previously the request to get the id was using internal
functionality that could return the wrong value when security was
setup on the employee. |
| |
Updated Deduction
Processing |
| |
When a deduction is made up with an amount in arrears, the goal
amount or the Ytd Max amount will be respected.
Previously if you had an employee with a deduction amount in
arrears, and that amount plus the current amount of the deduction
put the amount over the goal/Ytd Max, the arrears makeup would not
respect the goal/Ytd Max balance. |

The Chambersburg Area School District and the Borough of

As a result 2 new tax codes have been created .
PA-CH15 will be the Combined Boro and School District Tax of $52

The old tax code, PA-CHAK, has been set to $0 for 2005
PA-CH16 will be the School District only for $10 with a $1000 annual
minimum before the employee is assessed the tax.
This supersedes the following list of tax codes which have been set

As of 01/01/05 the NJSUI-E rate had incorrectly reverted back to
.001825 from .003825. This has been corrected: NJSUI-E rate has been
changed to .003825
As of 01/01/05 the NJHI-E rate had incorrectly reverted back to .002
from 0. This has been corrected: NJHI-E rate has been changed to 0.
The net effect is 0 as the 2 taxes offset each other and the system
will self correct itself on the next payroll run.

Taxes |

PITTSBURGH OPT CHANGES:
Tax Codes affected: PA-PIT4, PA-PITB
Pittsburgh has repealed the OPT tax for 2005. Thus the tax tables
will reflect 0 for 2005.
They have instituted an Emergency and Municipal Services tax,
however, which is $52 annually. If the employee earns less than
$12000 annually, they will be entitled to a refund. The employer is
still required to withhold the entire $52, however, and it will be
incumbent on the employee to file for the refund.
As a result a new tax code has been added: PA-PITF
PITTSBURGH EMPLOYER EXPENSE TAX:
Pittsburgh has added a new Employer tax based on gross payroll. This
tax is separate from the Earned Income Tax and is in effect for any
employers that were in business for the entire quarter beginning
10/01/2004. Those employers will have to pay the first installment
of this tax by 02/28/2005 based on gross wages for 4th quarter 2004.
Unfortunately, the data, at this point does not exist in Millennium
so you will have to calculate the amounts due manually, impound your
clients and create the deposit records as well for the 10/1/04 -
12/31/04 timeframe. The remaining installments for 2005 will be
quarterly on the last day of the month following the quarter.
The new tax code is PA-PITC and the rate is .0055 of gross
payroll expense.
MT. LEBANON OCCUPATION TAX CHANGES:
PA-MOUK has been updated as follows:
The tax table will reflect $0 for 2005 payrolls and on
PA-MOUQ Added (Mt Lebanon T. Emergency and Municipal Services
Tax)
The tax table for 2005 will have a one time charge of $52 for
employees earning more than $3000 annually.
LOWER MERION OCCUPATION TAX CHANGES:
Lower Merion Township has adopted the Emergency and Municipal
Services Tax.
As a result the old Lower Merion tax code, PA-LOW8, will be
set to calculate $0 for 2005.
A new tax code, PA-LO1O has been added for 2005 which will
calculate at $52 for the year if the employee earns $3500 or more
annually.
|
| Added ORSUI Special
Tax Offset |
| |
The ORAST tax code has been added to account for an Oregon
"Special Tax Offset" in effect for 1st quarter 2005. This offset
amount (.3%) is deducted from the employer's normal rate for the
first quarter so the amount paid by the employer is not affected.
However, since the amount is not allowed for the FUTA calculation, a
separate code is needed to account for the amount.
