Unemployment wages must be reported to only one state. The state reported to is normally the employee's primary work-site state. However, if the employee works in multiple states on a regular basis, use the series of tests promulgated by the US Department of labor to determine the correct state:

1. Location of service

2. Base of operations

3. Direction and control

4. Residence

For clarification on the four steps, see the following Federal Department of Labor guidance at https://oui.doleta.gov/dmstree/uipl/uipl2k4/uipl_2004a1.htm

Warning:  Each state has different rules about handling an employee's withholding when a state W-4 has not been submitted. Since each state varies, we do not have a default in WinTeam. We suggest you contact your state for guidance handling these deductions.

Important:  The specific state jurisdiction information that is required depends on whether the state has its own W4 or follows the federal W4.

State

Type or select the state of jurisdiction, which is normally the employee's state of residence. When adding a new employee, this field defaults to the entry in the State on the General tab after you enter the State for UC Tax field.

Note:  The State of Jurisdiction field affects how the system computes state taxes. If an employee lives in one state and works in another, unless there is reciprocity between the states, the system may withhold taxes from both the Live In and Work In states.

Enter the effective date of the corresponding Status. WinTeam displays the Status Info History records in descending order according to this date. The most current record is at the top of the list.

This date is used as the Hire Date when running the Employee Master File - New Hire Report. It is also used as the Status Effective Date on the Employee Master File Report.

When an employee is terminated (either Hourly or Salary employee), the Effective Date that is entered with their Inactive Status record should be the “last day that the employee was considered active – or last day they worked”. Behind the scenes the system then considers that the employee is not active as of the day following.

For instance, if someone’s last day working (or last day you wanted to consider them active) was 12/31/10, you would want to enter 12/31/10. Effective 1/01/2011 the employee will be considered inactive.

Throughout the system, if you try and enter a transaction record on a day that the employee is inactive, you will either be warned or, in some cases, you will not be allowed at all (as is the case with Personnel Scheduling). For more information see Removing Inactive Employees from Personnel Schedules.

Select the Status to indicate employment status as of the Effective Date. Valid options are Active, Inactive, or Leave of Absence.

When Inactive is selected, theEligible for Rehirecheck box displays on the General tab. TheEligible for Rehirecheck box is enabled or disabled based on the Security Feature from the PAY Employee Master File Screen 'General - Cannot Change Eligible for Rehire'.

Note:  When entering a new Inactive status reason, users must select a Status Inactive Category: Voluntary, Involuntary, or Other. The NA Status Inactive Category is used only for Active Status Reasons.

This field is available if the Status is Leave of Absence. The Expected Return From Leave Date field can be used to track and manage Leave of Absence status records. Enter the date the Employee is expected to return from Leave of Absence.

The Employee Master File Report can be filtered using the Return From Leave Dates Category.

This field is used mostly for reporting purposes for the Termination Report.

When an employee has a status change made to Inactive or Leave of Absence, the Primary Job Site information from the General top, automatically populates here.

Use the Notes field to enter any additional information pertaining to the status change. If you enter more than one line of text, the system automatically wraps the information. To start a new line or paragraph, press Ctrl + Enter.

This Custom Setting restricts the ability to add a new Pay Info record for more than x days in the past. This setting applies to the Effective Date in Employee Pay Rate Creator and Prorate Salary also.
