This can be calculated by dividing their salary by the number of hours in a working year. Each individual employee can be authorised (or not) for overtime pay. If authorised, the appropriate overtime multiplier will then be applied to this base rate (as with hourly paid people). (e.g. 7 1/2 hours per day times 5 days a week times 52 weeks = 1950 hours) NB: Even if no salaried employees are paid overtime a realistic entry must be made here. HOURS PER YEAR 15101_1_1_1_1_1 Up to 3 overtime rates may be paid. They are multipliers applied to the employees base hourly rate. OVERTIME RATE #1 IS HOURLY RATE TIMES . OVERTIME RATE #2 IS HOURLY RATE TIMES . OVERTIME RATE #3 IS HOURLY RATE TIMES . These are the additional hourly $ rates paid to shift workers. There can be up to 4 shifts in a day. The hours in each shift may also be paid at different rates depending on if the employee is working at the regular hourly rate or at one of the 3 overtime rates ( abbreviated to REG / O1 / O2 / O3 below).

Accrued 5 2 Information relevant to the calculation of STATE TAXES is entered here. Note that PAYROLL USA is designed to handle only one State per set of employee files. If you have employees in several States you need to group them into separate input and output data directories, one State in each set of directories. Example \STATENME\PAYIN\ and \STATENME\PAYOUT\ (where STATENME is an abbreviation for your State, anything that is meaningful to you with a maximum of 8 characters). On the program directory (example \PAYPGMS\ ) the PAYUSA.CNF configuration file contains the State Taxes and tells PAYROLL USA where the data directories are. You therefore also need separate versions of the PAYUSA.CNF file for each State. This is best handled by setting up separate data directories for each State and using a single program directory. Run PAYUSA to create the first PAYUSA.CNF file for the first State. Exit PAYUSA.EXE and immediately RENAME PAYUSA.CNF STATENME.CNF then run PAYUSA again, set up the next State's PAYUSA.CNF. Providing they are all on the program directory PAYROLL USA will automatically recognize multiple configuration files and give you a choice of which one to use when you start up PAYUSA. The above principles also apply to Accountants doing client payroll for multiple companies, except there the difference is the Company rather than the State - it still requires multiple configuration files and separate data directories. Substitute COMPANY for STATENME. ANY KEY TO CONTINUE STATE NAME C1A1L1I1F1.1_1_1_1 CODES: S = Single, M = Married, H = Head of Household, O = Other Please enter below all codes for which your State has Withholding Tables eg. SM or SMH or SMHO . The ones selected are the only ones you will have access to, and will be the only valid Employee Marital Status Codes. These codes are ALSO used for Federal Tax so you must use at least SM, if your State only has one table for all status's then set it up twice, once for Single, again (Same Rates) for Married MARITAL STATUS CODES SMH State Unemployment SUTA EMPLOYER RATE 01.10131710101_1 (0.037 = 3.7% ETC.)

However, if employees contribute to SUTA in your State enter the rate on their earnings on the next line, else use Ctrl Y to set it to zero. SUTA EMPLOYEE RATE . SDI (DISABILITY) TAX If applicable to your State, use one of the four DEDUCT OTHER lines. See the Configuration "OTHER" Menu which allows input of Rate and Maximum Annual Deduction. METHOD (FORMULA) FOR CALCULATING STATE TAXES (Actual Rates can be varied) "NEW YORK METHOD" ----------------- Similar to Federal. Taxable Earnings are reduced by the amount of deduction allowance appropriate to the Marital Status, then further reduced by the amount of one exemption multiplied by the number of exemptions claimed. State Tax is calculated on the remainder. ** MOST STATES USE THIS METHOD ** "CALIFORNIA METHOD" ------------------- If Taxable Earnings are less than a certain amount the State Tax is zero, else we have to calculate it as follows : The total federal exemptions from the W4 are split into "regular" and "additional" (for estimated deductions). If any additional exemptions then Taxable Earnings are reduced according to a Table. Taxable Earnings are further reduced by a Standard Deduction Table, and State Tax is calculated on the remainder. Finally State Tax is reduced by an amount taken from a Tax Credit Table (dependent on the number of "regular" W4 exemptions). ** ONLY CALIFORNIA SEEMS TO USE THIS METHOD ** "CUSTOM STATE TAX FACTORS" ------------------------- If your State follows NEITHER of the above, choose XX to customize CHOOSE A METHOD, ENTER NY OR CA OR XX, AS APPLICABLE C1A1 STATE TAXES - "CALIFORNIA METHOD" Please consult your State Personal Income Tax Withholding Guide Booklet and use the ANNUAL figures given for the EXACT CALCULATION METHOD. The Table 1 and 3 "OTHER" Category is for use only in those States which have another Marital Status (e.g. if you selected "SMHO" as a valid Status).
