Use this screen to create magnetic media files for submission of quarterly state reports. The state in which an employee is working is determined by using the SUTA State field in the Employee Earnings table.
Refer to the Tax Tables documentation for additional tax information by state.
Create the magnetic media files at the end of each calendar quarter for submission to the state. Print the State Quarterly Unemployment Report in order to provide backup information relating to amounts on the state magnetic media report.
This application includes multi-state functionality. This functionality allows for the proper computation of withholdings for employees who work in multiple states during one pay period. Since new tables are needed for this multi state calculation, the Create State Qtrly Unempl Mag Media application looks to a new table, EMPL_EARN_STATE. The states that use the new calculation include: OH, CA, NY, IA, and SC.
New functionality allows you to create a mag media file for Nebraska State Unemployment.
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
