Issue/Symptom/Question

Where do I go to update my 2019 State of Wisconsin Unemployment Rate percentage? Penta is calculating incorrectly (I'm sure there is an old rate in there).

Applies To

Payroll > Setup > Taxes > State Tax Information
Payroll > Setup > Taxes > State Codes

Resolution/Fix/Answer

State Unemployment rates are set up in the State Tax Information screen, for each Legal Entity OU/State where you have jobs set up.  
The SUT Rate field is entered as a Percent rate - if the UC rate for this state is 3.25%, you would enter 3.25 in this field.

1. Penta will update this rate during the End of Year Payroll updates, if the states have announced a change prior to Penta's update cutoff.   
2. If the state's SUT Rate change notification arrives after our cutoff, or at any other time of the year, each customer is responsible for changing the rates for all appropriate states as of the date of the change.  

The SUT Limit Amount is set up on the State Codes screen. 

1. Penta will update this amount during the End of Year Payroll updates, if the states have announced a change prior to Penta's update cutoff. 
2. If the state's SUT limit change notification arrives after our cutoff, or at any other time of the year, each customer is responsible for changing the limits for all appropriate states as of the date of the change.
