!OR – County Tax
On May 20, 2003, Multnomah county residents (GNIS Code 41-051-1135861) passed Measure 26-48, which established a temporary three year personal income tax on county residents. The tax was effective January 1, 2003 and is 1.25% of Oregon taxable income after an exemption deduction ($5,000 for joint filers and $2,500 for a single filer). The Multnomah County Tax was discontinued beginning January 1, 2006, thus STE will return zero for this County tax.
Pennsylvania EIT (Earned Income Tax) is treated and stored as City and School District tax. Pay components will need to be defined for PC Usage 6901 (City Work Tax pay components) to PC Usage 6933 (City Res Tax pay components).

!OR– Workers Comp Employee and Employer
The Oregon Employee Workers Compensation Fund is computed as a dollar amount multiplied by the number of hours worked by the employee with no limit on the amount withheld. For 2011, the dollar amount is $0.014 and [IPPC] must be set up for PC Usage 6058 Pre-FWT Hours for Workers Comp.
*The Oregon Employer Workers Compensation tax is computed on the hours worked by employees.
*If the Workers Compensation Fund is to be calculated for an employee, the ‘WC Method’ in the [IPRLU State|IPRLU#StateTab] tab) must be set to ‘Calc by US Taxation’ or ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’.
*If the method is ‘Calc by US Taxation’, only the WC Fund will be calculated for the employee using the rate in [IPUTR].
*If the method is ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’, WC will be calculated using the rates defined in [IPWC] for Workers Compensation Class, as well as the WC fund rate defined in [IPUTR]. The WC amounts will be stored in separate pay components.
*The ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle may be checked on [IPUTR] to bypass WC Calculation if desired.
*If [IPRLU] WC Method is not set up, then the [IPPGU] Pay Category WC Method will be used.
!PA – EIT
At line 91 changed 4 lines
%%information Note: For Oregon Workers Compensation, in order to override the employee WC portion and move to the employer WC portion, then this employee WC portion becomes taxable and subject to SIT and SUTA tax.\\ \\In this case, WC should be calculated via Usercalc instead of by Symmetry.
*In Usercalc, calculate the employee and employer WC portion and store in the pay component before US Taxation Pay point.
*Then include this employee WC pay component into the Elements of Pre-State Earnings (Usage 6651) and Pre-SUI Employer Earnings (Usage 6752).
This approach truly reflects the Employee WC portion in the Pre-Tax Earnings pay components and will carry through the system for the use of Self-Adjust method etc.%%
The Pennsylvania Earned Income Tax (EIT) is a tax levied as a percent of earned income at the City, Municipality or School District level. Therefore the jurisdiction must be set up with State, County, City, Municipality and School district.

41.2 PA – ER SUTA, EE SUI
There are 2 options to set up ER SUTA and EE SUI by State:
(1) IPUTR - enter the SUTA ER Rate that is given by the Government on the Overridden Rate field
- this rate is applicable for the entire company for State of Pennsylvania
- the SUI Rate and Wage Base are supplied and will be used as default
- user may override this SUI Rate or Wage Base if necessary
(2) IDGV - if there is a specific rate given by the government for different State Registration #,
- then enter on IDGV by ‘Reg Type’, this overrides the IPUTR Rate
User may bypass ER SUTA on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’ or ‘SUI EE Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’
For SUI, user may override the IPUTR SUI built-in rate and SUI wage base by one of the options above.
It is recommended that if the SUI rate is overridden, user should also enter the SUI overridden wage base. This is to ensure that with the overridden SUI rate, the SUI is able to stop at the proper maximum wage base with the new rate.
