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 Oklahoma.

2) If the Workers Compensation Fund is to be calculated for an employee, the ‘WC Method’ in IPRLU (State tab) must be set to ‘Calc by US Taxation’ or ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’. 

- WC Method ‘Calc by IPWC Class’ will use the rates defined by class in IPWC to calculate the Workers Compensation

	- if IPRLU WC Method is not set up, then IPPGU Pay Category WC Method will be used

 

40.2	OR – ER SUTA Rate

User may bypass ER SUTA on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’.
There are 2 options to set up ER SUTA Rate by State:

(1)	IPUTR	- enter the SUTA ER Rate that is given by the Government on the Override Tax Rate field

40.3	OR – IPPC / PC Usages

	IPPC – Set up Pay Components by PC Usages

	If user wants to calculate the following taxes, please set up IPPC for these PC Usages:
							
				
Usage	Description
6058	Pre-FWT Hours - Total Hours worked, this is used for WC calculation

7483	OR-Sandy Transit Tax
7484	OR-Wilsonville Transit Tax
7485	OR-S Clackamas Transit Tax

 

40.4	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. The tax is 1.25% of Oregon taxable income after deducting an exemption ($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.

40.5	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.  IPPC Pay Component 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 IPRLU (State 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. 

User may check the ‘Do Not Calculate’ Toggle on IPUTR to bypass WC Calculation if desired.

	If IPRLU WC Method is not set up, then IPPGU Pay Category WC Method will be used.


Note:  For Oregon 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.



 

40.6	OR – Transit Tax

Oregon has levied a transit tax upon employers doing business within certain transit areas. There are six areas which have Transit tax. The tax is upon regular and supplemental wages.

On IPUTR, there are 6 entries for Transit Tax

 

	If Employer requires to calculate Transit Tax for all employees, enter YES to the Transit Tax on IPUTP.
	If Employer requires to calculate Transit Tax for certain employee, enter YES to the Transit Tax on IPRLU for each employee.

For Vertex Calculation, user must set up IPRLU State Tab Vtx. Alt Tax Method = ‘01’ in order to re-calculate State Tax using the Federal Tax based on State parameters.  Also the State Tab Vtx # of Exemption 1 should = 1 in order to for Vertex to apply the ‘Standard Deduction in the tax formula’ to match the Symmetry Oregon State tax result as above.

http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/forms/business/withholding_formulas_150-206-436_2011.pdf

 



Using the formula from Annual wages of $50,000 or higher

Annual Wages	2291.31 x 26 			= 59574.06
Federal Tax:	403.06 x 26 			= 10479.56
Since Wages <= $125.000, use PHASE OUT	= 5950.00
BASE Wages	59574.06 – 5950.00		= 53624.06


Symmetry Calculation:

BASE Wages					= 53624.06
Standard deduction $1980 for Single		= 1980		(note: Vertex user must set up Vtx Exemption 1 = 1,
								Otherwise the Standard deduction will not be applied)
	53624.06 – 1980				= 51644.06

Annual Tax Calculation:
	WH 	= 481 + [(BASE – 7750) x 0.09] – (179 x allowance)
	WH 	= 481 + [(51644.06– 7750) x 0.09] – (179 x 0)
	WH 	= 481 + 3950.47 – 0
	WH 	= 4431.47

State Tax for the period
	WH 	= 4431.47 / 26 = 170.44
