NY – 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:

1. 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 York.
2. 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.

NY – EE SDI#

• IPUTR - The SDI Rate and Tax Limit Amount are supplied and will be used as default
• New York State Disability Insurance is computed as 0.5% of gross wages with a maximum weekly amount of $0.60 (for 2011). Symmetry will prorate the tax for all pay periods, this will cause the SDI earnings to differ from the amount calculated by Vertex.
• By default, this tax will be calculated unless the IPUTR ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle is checked or IPRLU ‘SDI EE Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’
