New Earning Code Required for certain employees in Florida
Florida now requires private employers with a contract to provide services to a governmental or non-profit educational institution to separately identify the wages paid to employees who perform these services.
As of the Q3 Product Update, Abra Suite will be able to include reporting of these wages if they are paid under a separate earning code from other payments. To prepare for this change customers must use a unique earning code separate from employees who are not paid for services under the contract(s). A new indicator for the earning code setup will be delivered with the Q3 2012 Product Update which will allow the Florida Quarterly File to properly segregate and report wages for these employees.
IL State Income Tax Update
In legislation passed June 1, 2012, Illinois increased the amount for personal exemptions by $50 (from $2,000 to $2,050). This change applies retroactively to January 1, 2012.
Please review the Customer Portal, under Payroll Tax Updates for your product version for a Product Upgrade or manual correction to the IL tax code.
