!!New Jersey State Tax Calculation
On [IPUTR], there is a list of applicable taxes to be calculated for State of New Jersey:
|34-000-0000-SIT-000|New Jersey State Tax
|34-000-0000-SSP-000|New Jersey Supplemental Tax
|34-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000|New Jersey State Unemployment Tax
|34-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-048|NJ Work Force Development/Supplemental Work Force
|34-000-0000-SDI-000|New Jersey SDI
|34-000-0000-ER_SDI-001|New Jersey Employer SDI
|34-000-0000-SUI-000|New Jersey SUI
|34-000-0000-FLI-000|New Jersey Family Leave Insurance
|34-000-0000-ER_POP-001|NJ Waterfront Payroll Tax - Employer (only select NJ Harbor employers)
If [UPUTR] is run with Newark Jurisdiction, then the following entry will exist:
|34-000-878762-ER_POP-007|Newark Employer Payroll Tax
\\ \\
----
!NJ – IPRLU Set Up
The Miscellaneous Tax parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers
|FILINGSTATUS|Mandatory\\'S'-single, 'MJ'-married filing jointly, 'MS'-married filing separately, 'H'-head of household or 'QW'-qualified widow(er)
|RATETABLE|Mandatory\\Enter the rate table: 'A','B','C','D', or 'E'
|TOTALALLOWANCES|Optional\\Enter the total number of allowances
\\ \\
----
!NJ – ER SUTA, EE SUI
ER SUTA may be bypassed on [IPUTR] with ‘Do not Calculate’ or [IPRLU] ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’.
There are two options to set up the ER SUTA and EE SUI rates by state:
#IPUTR
#*The SUI Rate and Wage Base are supplied and will be used as default
#*This SUI Rate or Wage Base may be overridden if necessary
#IDGV
#*If there is a specific rate given by the government for a different State Registration #, then enter the rate on [IDGV] by ‘Reg Type’; this overrides the [IPUTR] rate.
The EE SUI rate provided by Symmetry includes the Unemployment Insurance rate and the Workforce Development Partnership (WF) / Supplemental Workforce (SWF) rate.
ER SUTA may be bypassed on [IPUTR] with ‘Do not Calculate’ or [IPRLU] ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’, or IPRLU‘SUI EE Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’
For SUI, the [IPUTR] SUI built-in rate and SUI wage base may by overridden by one of the options above.
It is recommended that if the SUI rate is overridden, the SUI overridden wage base should also be entered. 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.
\\ \\
----
!NJ – ER SDI, EE SDI
ER SDI and EE SDI Rates and Wage Bases are provided by the government and stored on [IPUTR].
The Rates and Wage Base may be overridden on [IPUTR] for State of New Jersey
Specific overridden Rate and Wage Base may be entered on [IDGV] by ‘Reg Type’ = ‘US SDI Regist n’ and ‘Govt Rate Type’ = ‘US SDI ER Rate’ or ‘US SDI EE Rate’
SDI ER or SDI EE may be bypassed on [IPUTR] with ‘Do not Calculate’ at the State level, or on [IPRLU] ‘SDI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’, or [IPRLU] ‘SDI EE Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’ at the Employee level.
The NJ SDI ER Rate can be varied by Employer, the SDI ER Rate MUST be entered on the ‘Override Tax Rate’ field, otherwise SDI ER will not be calculated.

#*If the tax jurisdiction is for Newark, by default, this tax will be calculated unless the ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle is checked
#*This tax will be stored into Pay Component with Usage 7420 – NJ-Newark PR Tax
#New Jersey Health Care Subsidy Fund
#*The New Jersey Health Care Subsidy Fund is a tax which is withheld from employee wages as a percentage of the employee’s taxable earnings until a wage base has been reached. For 2010, the wage base is $29,700 and the rate is 0.00% (.0000). Therefore, NJ Health Care Fund will be zero since the rate is set to zero.

!NM – IPRLU Set Up
The Miscellaneous Tax parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers. If these identifiers do not exist, [UPCALC] will generate the default entries for the identifiers.\\
||Miscellaneous Identifiers||Description
|FILINGSTATUS|Mandatory\\'S'-single, 'M'-married, or 'MH'-married but w/h at higher single rate

!NM – ER SUTA Rate
ER SUTA may be bypassed on [IPUTR] with ‘Do not Calculate’ or [IPRLU] ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’.
There are two options to set up the ER SUTA rate by state:
#IPUTR
#*Enter the SUTA ER rate that is given by the government on the Override Tax Rate field.
#*This rate is applicable for the entire company within the State of New Mexico.
#IDGV
#*If there is a specific rate given by the government for a different State Registration #, then enter the rate on [IDGV] by ‘Reg Type’; this overrides the [IPUTR] rate.

#Newark Employer Payroll Tax
#*If the tax jurisdiction is for Newark, by default, this tax will be calculated unless the ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle is checked
IPUTR – Worker’s Compensation
#New Mexico Worker's Compensation
#*Check the ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle on [IPUTR] to bypass WC Calculation if desired.
#*[IPRLU] or [IPPGU] may specify WC Method = ‘Calc by US Taxation’ or ‘Both by IPWC and US taxation’ to calculate WC using Symmetry.
#*The New Mexico Workers Compensation tax is $2 per quarter fee paid by the employee.
#*Symmetry provides an option to prorate this Workers Compensation Tax by pay period, however the ‘Prorate Option’ will not be used due to rounding issues as follows:\\ \\e.g. In one year, there are four quarters in a year, $2 x 4 = $8 per year.
#**For BW payroll, there are 26 pays in one year, $8 / 26 = $0.31 per pay, therefore $0.31 should be taken for each pay period until the $2 quarterly maximum is reached.
#**However, $0.62 will be withheld when both Regular and Suppl wages are paid in one pay; for the quarter with 6 pays, $0.31 x 6 = $1.86, for the quarter with 7 pays, $0.31 x 7 = $2.17 with maximum of $2.00.
#**During the last pay of a quarter, if the ‘Prorate Option’ is set to False, then Symmetry will catch the remainder of the Workers Compensation tax for the quarter.
#**However, the last pay of a quarter for each employee varies depending on if the employee will be paid, therefore the ‘Prorate Option’ will not be used.
#**Workers Compensation will be calculated the first time the employee is paid in a quarter, this coincides with the Employer New Mexico Worker's Compensation Assessment Fee as below.
#New Mexico Worker's Compensation Assessment Fee
#*Check the ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle on [IPUTR] to bypass WC Calculation if desired.
#*[IPRLU] or [IPPGU] may specify WC Method = ‘Calc by US Taxation’ to calculate WC.
#*This tax is computed as a dollar amount per employee and is considered Employer Head tax.
34.5 NM – Trial Calc Example
Example (1) Proration of New Mexico Workers Compensation Tax (PC 5331) - note, this proration is not used
IPRLU - NM0001 FILINGSTATUS = S
PC 8046 Res SIT Earn = 2577.97
PC 6042 Res SIT = 111.71
PC 8056 Res SSP Earn = 914.01 x 4.9 %
PC 6052 Res Supp Tax = 44.79
PC 5330 NM-WC Assessment Fee-ER = IPUTR 35-000-0000-ER_EHT-000 Tax Rate 2.30 per quarter
= 2.30
PC 5331 Workers Comp Tax = IPUTR 35-000-0000-WC-000 Tax Rate 2.00 per quarter
- In one year, there are 4 quarters in a year, $2 x 4 = $8 per year
- for BW payroll, there are 26 pays in one year, $8 / 26 = $0.31 per pay
- $0.31 will be taken for Regular wages and/or Supplemental wages until $2 quarterly maximum is reached
- $.0.31 for Regular Wages and $0.31 for Sup Wages = 0.62
PC 6703 SUI ER Contr = 3653.59 x IPUTR 35-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000 Override Tax Rate 0.054
= 197.29
Example (2) NO Proration of New Mexico Workers Compensation Tax (PC 5331) - note, this proration is used
PC 5331 Workers Comp Tax = IPUTR 35-000-0000-WC-000 Tax Rate 2.00 per quarter
= 2.00
- Workers Compensation will be calculated the first time the employee is paid in a quarter, this coincides with the Employer New Mexico Worker's Compensation Assessment Fee
Note: For New Mexico Workers Compensation, if users wants 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, user should calculate WC via Usercalc instead of by Symmetry. In Usercalc, calculate the employee and employer WC portion and stores in 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.
