Navigate to the Payroll Tax Maintenance window and query Tax Types DE-PFL, DE-PML, and DE-PPL
Review the General tab according to the tax regulation - see DE-PML example below:
Update the Rates tab
State/Province will be DE
Earnings limit and rates must be set. You need to look up the limit and rates and set appropriately. PENTA does not maintain the limit and rates.
Update the Accrual and Expense Accounts tab with the appropriate information.
