RECONNECT 24: The Withholding Blues: PDF, Remote Worker & Multi-State Compliance Headaches – Part 1

Tired of updating withholding paper or pdf forms? Or manually assigning localities for Ohio, Pennsylvania or other state localities?
And, how do you pay employees for their work when they don't even come to work? In the past 10 years, online withholding forms and remote working have become more and more common. When employees only worked in a few specific locations, it was easy to setup those locations in PeopleSoft with its core features (including its tax requirements) and maintain that location for all the employee’s that worked there. But in the new remote working world (especially with COVID), employees are now working most of their hours from home, which may be in other states and with new tax localities. State tax revenue offices have become more aware of this trend and have been more aggressive about getting those employees or employers to pony up any work location taxes in addition to any resident taxes the employee should be paying. But this can be a maintenance and compliance nightmare for a payroll and tax department. Especially for states like Pennsylvania which have work tax codes in the thousands. Ensuring that the correct codes are assigned to an employee’s work and resident location(s) is challenging but we’ll show you how.
