Document Updates
This document is based on the most current application release as of the documents publication date. Content
is updated as needed to reflect major changes to existing features or when significant new features are added to
the US localization. For this reason, it is possible that some minor UI differences may exist between the version
being implemented and the version described in this document.

Change Record

Date Description of Change

01-May-2014 Created document.

22-May-2014 Added reference to Vertex troubleshooting document on MOS.

Vertex
Vertex installation is a mandatory step for US Payroll and US Payroll Interface clients. Fusion payroll processing
will not work without Vertex data.
Vertex provides:
Address Validation: These updates come from Vertex in the monthly ORAMAST.txt (Geography file).
Payroll Tax Calculation Rules/Tax Data: These updates come from Vertex in the monthly QFPT.dat (Tax
file).

6
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

Update notifications: When the updates are released by Vertex, those registered with Vertex at the customer
site receive an email notification. For SaaS customers, the Oracle Product Services team receives the
notification and logs a bug to install the files.

License
Saas customers do not need to acquire a Vertex license. This is included as part of the Saas service offering.
On-Premise and On-Demand customers must acquire a Vertex license and pay the associated fees.

Installing the Monthly File Updates


Both files are available each month from Vertex. For SaaS customers, Oracle Product Services installs the files
for them. The On-Demand team installs the files for the customers when they are requested to do so by their
customers. On-Premise customers install the file themselves.

Running the Process


Once the files are installed, all customers (including SaaS) are required to run the processes to update their
geography data, tax data, or both.

Vertex Tax Calculation Reference Material


Non-SaaS customers have on-line access to the latest Vertex Tax documentation using My Vertex.
SaaS users can access their Cloud Notifications website and download the Vertex users guide from this site.
When you receive the notification that the Vertex updates are being applied to your environment, there is a
Here link at the bottom of the page. (You may want to bookmark this page.) To see the Vertex documents
available for download, click this link and go to the Documentation tab. Oracle keeps the current months update
and the new update on this page. There is one document for the US and one for Canada.
Note:
Although you may get a notification before the 18th of the month, the Vertex guides are not available until the
18th.
In order to access this download, your Oracle Cloud Administrator must have added you to the Cloud Notification
site with at least Document Viewer privileges. You may download documents if you have Account Administrator
or Document Viewer roles. If your access is Account Viewer, you will not have access to the files. If you are not
sure who the account administrator is for your company, please contact Oracle Support.
Note:
The Vertex user guides are proprietary to Vertex, and as such, Oracle can only distribute on a need-to-know
basis. Share these documents only with people in your company that have a need to know, such as the
Payroll Department.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Invalid Address Data Is the combination you are trying to enter
valid? Confirm it on USPS.com. If valid,
contact Oracle Support.
In any case where entering an address is
required, it is good practice to enter the ZIP
Code first. In this way, the application is able
to automatically populate other fields based on
the Vertex data.

7
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

Customer does not have a US Payroll license Switch the license to HR-only, and run the
and does not want address validation Load Geographies for US task again. If they
have never run the process, they do not need
to run it. Setting the license to HR-only should
be sufficient.
Payroll Tax Calculation Refer to Tax Troubleshooting, below.
Error during Vertex file load (does not apply to If the database contains corrupt information,
SaaS customers) you will receive an error.
Do not copy over an existing database.
Note:
When installing a new data file, remove the
existing ISAM database and install the new
database in a empty directory.
Do not load an older version of the file.

Support and Reference


Contact Oracle Support with any issues not resolved using the troubleshooting tips.
For instructions on how to maintain your Vertex ISAM database after installation, refer to Updating the Vertex
Data File for US Tax Information: Worked Examples in the Help Portal.
For additional information, refer to Oracle Fusion HCM and Payroll (US/CA) Vertex Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) (Doc ID 1613196.1) on the Oracle Support website.

Organization Structures
Before an employer can hire a US worker or run any country-specific processes, the Implementation Team must
set up the organization structures required for the management of HR processes. You can perform all setup
tasks using the Functional Setup Manager (FSM).
The following sections describe these structures and how to define them:
Enterprises
Implementation Projects
Payroll Product License
Geographies
Enterprise Structures
Legal Addresses
Legislative Data Groups
Jurisdictions
Legal Entities
Legal Entity HCM Information for Legal Employers and PSUs
Legal Entity Deduction Records
Legal Reporting Units
Legal Reporting Unit Contact Details
Legal Reporting Unit Registrations
Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information

Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

Legal Reporting Unit Deduction Records


Business Units
These structures, which typically contain country-specific information, must be defined before you can create
application users.

Enterprises
The Enterprise classification represents the top structure in the organization that supports partitioning
requirements for Oracle Fusion applications. Each employee you define exists within the context of an
enterprise. If a person is associated with two enterprises, that person must have two person records.
Since there is no concept of legislation at the enterprise level, no US-specific attributes are stored at this level.
All US-specific attributes are stored in subordinate structures, such as the legal entity.
This document does not describe enterprise setup, as this structure is defined at a higher level than HR and is
used across Oracle Fusion product lines.

Implementation Projects
Setup tasks for organization structures must be defined in an implementation project. To create an
implementation project:
1. Sign in to the Oracle Fusion application using a role that has the profile of a super-user and privileges to
create all organizational structures.

2. Select Setup and Maintenance from the Navigator.

9
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

3. On the Implementation Projects tab, click Create.

4. On the Create Implementation Project page, provide a name and start date for your project.

5. Click Next.
6. Select Workforce Deployment.
7. For Payroll implementations, further select Payroll and then US Payroll.
This parent project contains all the tasks needed to set up HCM organizational structures.

10
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

8. Click Save and Open Project.

Payroll Product License Parameter


Valid values for Payroll License parameter are:
HR_ONLY
This is the default.
PAYROLL
PAYROLL_INTERFACE

Use the new Manage Payroll Product Usage task to select the correct payroll product for each of your legislations
to ensure that payroll-related features work correctly in your implementation. This feature replaces the Payroll
License action parameter, which was maintained on the Manage Payroll Process Configuration page.

NOTE:
In Release 8 and onwards, the license is set by country. After any upgrade, the Payroll License parameter is
reset to null, and the Implementation Team must update it before any transactional actions can be
performed, such as running payroll, new hires, setting up elements, and so on.
If this parameter is set to one of the payroll values, it automatically creates an employees tax deduction card
when a payroll relationship is created.
Refer to the following document on Oracle Support for additional information:
Fusion Payroll: Types of License In Fusion Payroll (Doc ID 1611941.1)
To check and set the product license:
1. Search for and start the Manage Payroll Product Usage task.

11
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

12
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

2. Check the selected Payroll Product for the appropriate legislation to ensure the proper setting.
3. Make any changes, if needed, and click Save.
4. Click Done.

Geographies
The US geocodes are used for:
Address validation
Regional taxation
Geography-based business processes
This geography information is provided by Vertex or another third-party source.

Loading Geographies
The Implementation Team must load this data into the geographies table.
This task is required for both HR-only (if using address validation) and Payroll implementations.
To load US geographies:

13
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

1. Select Load Geographies for US in the implementation project checklist.

2. Enter the necessary details in the Parameters section.

3. Click Submit.

Verifying Geographies
To verify predefined geographies:
1. Select Manage Geographies in the implementation project checklist.

14
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

2. On the Manage Geographies page, select US and click Search to view the predefined US geography setup
and content.

3. Select the green checkmark for each type of geography data you want to verify.

Define Address Style Format Mapping for United States


HR-only and Payroll implementations must update the Geography Mapping fields for the following formats:
United States Postal Address Format
United States Tax Address Format
No Style is not used for US implementations.
HR-only implementations with no address validation must select the United States Postal Address Format. All
other implementations must use the United States Tax Address Format.
To set your geography validation:
1. Select Workforce Deployment > Define Common Applications Configuration for Human Capital Management
> Define Geographies for Human Capital Management > Manage Geographies.

2. In the Geography Mapping and Validation section, select or deselect the Enable List of Values checkbox as
appropriate for each geography type.
Note:
Tax and geography validations are not used by Oracle Fusion HCM applications, so do not use the Tax
Validation and Geography Validation checkboxes. Likewise, you can ignore the fields in the Geography
Validation Control section.
3. Click Save and Close.

Enterprise Structures
You can now begin the process of defining enterprise structures. All setup tasks are located in the
implementation project task list under Workforce Deployment > Define Common Applications Configuration for
Human Capital Management > Define Enterprise Structures for Human Capital Management:

17
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

Legal Addresses
A legal address is the address of record for an entity. For example, the legal address of a legal authority is used
in communications with that authority. No legal addresses are predefined for the US. You must create legal
addresses for all organizational units of the enterprise.
To define legal addresses:
1. Select Manage Legal Addresses in the implementation project task list.

2. On the Manage Legal Addresses page, click Create.

18
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

3. Define your addresses as needed.


4. Click Save and Close.

Legislative Data Groups


A legislative data group (LDG) defines the payroll and related data partition context for a user, allowing
customers to partition their payroll data.
To define an LDG:
1. Select Manage Legislative Data Groups in the implementation project task list.

2. On the Manage Legislative Data Groups page, click Create.


3. On the Create Legislative Data Group page, provide the required information and click Submit.

Jurisdictions
All legal entities must be registered against a jurisdiction that is governed by a legal authority. A jurisdiction is a
combination of the legislative category (labor law, transaction tax law, income tax laws, and so on) and the

19
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

physical territory (such as group of countries, country, state, county, and parish) to which legal rules are
grounded. A tax jurisdiction is a geographic area where a tax is levied by a specific tax authority. Jurisdictions
must be set up before creating registrations because a jurisdiction is required in the registration process. The
identifying jurisdiction is usually the first jurisdiction that the legal entity must register with, in order to be
recognized in its territory. The registration to the identifying jurisdiction of the legal entity territory is called the
identifying registration. The jurisdiction can also capture the registration code or the name of the registration
number. The registration code can then be used as the prompt for the registration number given the context of
the jurisdiction. The jurisdiction has a start date and end date to show when the jurisdiction is effective and when
you can register against the jurisdiction.
There are three sub-regions on the Create Legal Jurisdiction page:
General Information: Displays the legislative category and allows the user to select the territory, enter the
name, the start and end date (if any end date), and to specify whether the jurisdiction is identifying or not. The
Additional Customer descriptive flexfield allows employers to define their own country or legislative category
context additional attributes.
Registration Code Assignment: For a given jurisdiction, allows the user to select a specific registration code to
display when creating legal entities and legal reporting units (LRUs).
Legal Functions: Allows the user to relate specific legal functions for a given jurisdiction, such as payment,
reporting, and so on. This is optional.

The US localization provides the following predefined legal jurisdictions, which are a combination of the territory
and legislative category:
Jurisdiction Legislative Category Territory Description
United States FEDERAL_TAX United States Used for federal income tax,
Federal Tax federal unemployment tax, Social
Security, and Medicare.
<Territory> Income Tax State Used for all states with an income
Income Tax tax. One legal jurisdiction for
each state with an income tax is
created.
<Territory> Unemployment State Used for all states with an
Unemployment Insurance Tax unemployment insurance tax.
Insurance One legal jurisdiction for each
state with an unemployment tax is
created.
<Territory> Disability Insurance State Used for all states with a disability
Disability Tax insurance tax. One legal

20
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

Insurance jurisdiction for each state with a


disability tax is created.
No local tax jurisdictions are predefined by the US localization. The user must first create the local jurisdiction
and then create the local tax registration, using the local tax legislative category and local jurisdiction.

Legal Entities
A legal entity is an entity unequivocally identified and given rights and responsibilities under commercial law,
through registration with the territorys appropriate authority. Legal entities have the responsibility to account for
themselves (through balance sheets, income statements, specified reports, and so on) to company regulators,
taxation authorities, and owners according to rules specified in the relevant legislation.

Legal Employers and Payroll Statutory Units


Oracle Fusion HRMS recognizes different types of legal entities:
A legal employer is a legal entity that employs workers.
A payroll statutory unit (PSU) is a legal entity that is responsible for paying workers, including the payment of
payroll tax and social insurance. A PSU can pay and report on payroll tax and social insurance on behalf of
one or many legal entities, depending on the structure of your enterprise.
PSUs provide a way to group legal employers so that certain statutory calculations, such as court orders and
some taxes, can be performed at a higher level. A legal employer can belong to only one PSU, and the PSU
represents the highest level of aggregation for a person. No balances are aggregated across PSUs.
When defining a legal entity, you must consider the context in which it is to be used:
If it is to be used in an HCM context, designate it as a legal employer. In an HCM implementation, it is
mandatory to define legal employers.
If it is to be used in a payroll context, designate it as a PSU.
You can define a legal entity that is both a legal employer and a PSU.
If multiple legal employers need to be grouped together for tax reporting purposes, you can associate them
all with a single PSU. If legal employers do not report together, they must be segregated by PSU.
No legal entities are predefined for the US. You must create all legal entities that apply to the enterprise you are
setting up.

Legal Reporting Units and Tax Reporting Units


A LRU is the lowest level component of a legal structure that requires registrations. It is used to group workers
for the purpose of tax reporting or to represent a part of your enterprise with a specific statutory or tax reporting
obligation.
If a LRU is to be used for tax reporting purposes, then it must be configured as a tax reporting unit (TRU). When
you create an LRU that belongs to a legal employer (that is not also a PSU), you must select a parent PSU. In
this way, TRUs are indirectly associated with a legal employer by association with a PSU.
TRUs are especially relevant for the US because the TRU captures the employers:
US federal employer identification number (FEIN)
State employer account number
Registration details
Statutory registered name

Organization Structure Models Supported by the US Localization


The sections that follow describe how to define a set of organizational units that comprise the organization
structure required to manage HR processes for the US. Each enterprise can combine these organizational units

21
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

in a different way in order to set up the organizational model that best fits their business needs. Before you begin
creating organizational units, it is helpful to understand the organization structure models supported by the US
localization.
The figure below illustrates the four configurations supported by Oracle Fusion HRMS (US):

Enterprise 1: One PSU with one legal employer and one TRU
Enterprise 2: One PSU with one legal employer and multiple TRUs
Enterprise 3: One PSU with multiple legal employers and multiple TRUs, where each legal employer is
associated with a single TRU
Enterprise 4: One PSU with multiple legal employers, where different employers are associated with different
TRUs
Note:
An enterprise can have multiple PSUs belonging to the same or different LDGs. It is possible for a legal entity to
be both a PSU and a legal employer.

Creating Legal Entities


To define legal entities:
1. Select Manage Legal Entities in the implementation project task list.

22
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

2. Click Create to display the Create Legal Entity page.

LDG already exists for that country, you must manually associate it. This started in Release 5.
If a legal entity is not designated as a PSU, you can select an existing PSU to which it belongs.
You must have previously defined the legal address for the legal entity.
4. Click Save and Close.

LRUs are connected to legal authorities through LRU registrations. When you create a legal entity, a registration
is automatically created for the selected identifying jurisdiction. You must create a registration for the United
Stated Federal Tax jurisdiction to enter the Employer FEIN. If the LRU interacts with other legal authorities, you
must create additional registrations as appropriate.
Note:
Employer FEIN, registered name, and state EIN details are captured using the Manage Legal Reporting Unit
Registrations task.
If the United States Federal Tax registration is not present, some payroll processes will not function properly
(such as Archive Periodic Payroll Results).
Used for: EEO, VETS, New hire, and Payroll reporting.

Business Units
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US) uses the business unit classification to group sets of data. When you associate a
business unit with a default set, the default set is inherited by every entity connected to the business unit.
No US-specific data is required or captured at this level. However, a worker must be assigned a business unit
during the hire process, so you must create business units for the enterprise.

Banking Setup
An HR-only customer may want to add payee banking information even if payroll is not being processed by
Oracle Fusion HRMS for US. For example, banking setup may be required for reporting purposes or because
the data may be passed to other products, such as an expenses module.
To accommodate this scenario, the set up of banks and branches must be done before entering bank accounts
and payment methods for the payee. Additionally some payroll set up, described later in this document, would be
needed.
No banks or branches are predefined for the US. Banks and branches must be defined during implementation.
You can do this manually by entering the banks and branches in the application, or it can be done in a mass
upload process.

Banks
To define banks:
1. Sign in to the application with a role that has implementation privileges, such as APPL_IMP_CONSULTANT.
2. Select Manage Banks in the implementation project task list.

3. Click Create.
4. On the Create Bank page, provide the necessary information.

Bank Accounts
Once banks and branches are set up, you must define the bank accounts that are needed for the organization.
Normally, Implementation Teams set up bank accounts that are used at an organizational level, such as the
source bank accounts for payments, rather than bank accounts at the individual payee level.
No bank accounts are predefined for the US.
To define bank accounts:
1. Select Manage Bank Accounts in the implementation project task list.

2. Click Create.
3. On the Create Bank Branch page, provide the required information.

the Account Use field.
5. Click Save and Close.

Organization Payment Methods


After setting up the banks, bank branches, and bank accounts, you must define the payment methods used
within the organization. Organization payment methods (OPMs) link the personal payment methods (PPMs) with
the payment sources without a need to store as many details about the payment method on the person record.
When you create a payroll, you must define the valid OPMs for that payroll. All employees included in the payroll
run will use the selected OPMs, unless specifically overridden.
To define OPMs:
1. Select Manage Organization Payment Methods in Payment Method work area.
2. Click Create.
3. Select the LDG associated with this payment method.

Payroll Configuration
Consolidation groups and payroll definitions are normally concepts related to payroll, but if an HR-only customer
needs to assign banking details for their employees, then these objects must be set up.

Consolidation Groups
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US) uses consolidation groups within the organization to enable grouping of different
payrolls for reporting purposes. No consolidation groups are predefined for the US. If you are creating payroll
definitions for the implementation, you must define at least one consolidation group. Payroll definitions must be
assigned to a consolidation group.
To set up consolidation groups:
1. Sign in to the application with a role that has implementation privileges, such as APPL_IMP_CONSULTANT.
2. Select Manage Consolidation Groups in the implementation project task list.

3. On the Manage Consolidation Groups page, click the Add Row icon.

Payroll Definitions
Payroll definitions contain calendar and offset information that determine when payments are calculated and
costed. Using payroll definitions, you can specify payment frequency, processing schedule, and other
parameters for a particular payroll. Payroll period types, such as weekly, bi-weekly, or semi-monthly, determine
the interval at which you pay employees.
A payroll definition is associated with only one payroll period type, and implementers must set up at least one
payroll definition for each payroll period type the employer wants use to pay employees.
When you create a payroll definition, the complete payroll schedule is automatically generated, based on:
Selected payroll period type
Any offsets and calendar adjustments
Number of years
Once you have created a payroll definition, use the Manage Payroll Relationships page to assign employees to it.
Note:
Before creating a payroll definition, you must have defined the LDG and at least one consolidation group.
No payroll definitions are predefined for the US.
To set up payroll definitions:

Elements and Element Templates


Elements are created through predefined element templates, which provide the user with an intuitive user
interface and manage the creation of different types of elements and their associated objects. The element
definition process gets a set of rules from the template and processes the predefined template structure to create
appropriate data.

Overtime
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US) determines the overtime rate according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
eligibility based on the job assigned to the employee. Employers define a job as nonexempt in the FLSA Status
field found in the United States Job Information region (refer to the job work structures previously defined in this
document). Oracle Fusion HRMS (US) applies the FLSA Overtime calculation rules only when the job for the
assignment is nonexempt. If a job exists for the employee, but the FLSA Status is null or if no job is assigned to
an employee, the default status is exempt.
The FLSA Status impacts the premium overtime calculation if the job is defined as nonexempt. If an employer
elects to pay exempt employees overtime, FLSA does not control the rate, and the employer can pay the
overtime at whatever rate they want. In this case, the premium calculation of overtime is not performed since it is
defined by the employer.
See Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Payroll Fair Labor Standards Act Setup white paper on MOS for necessary
setups for the FLSA set up.

Wage Basis Rules


US legislation has provided the wage basis rules at the federal and regional (state) levels for use in the taxation
of earnings. Rules for primary classifications of supplemental earnings, imputed earnings, and pretax deductions
along with the corresponding secondary classifications are provided. For information on wage basis rules as it
relates to involuntary deductions, refer to the Oracle Support Document 1597039.1 (Oracle Fusion HRMS (US):
Payroll Involuntary Deductions). https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1597039.1

Viewing Wage Basis Rules


Use the Manage Component Group Rules task from the Payroll Calculation work area to view the wage basis
rules.

1. Navigate in the tree structure to Federal > Wage Basis Rules > No References.

2. View the wage basis rules for Imputed Earnings, Pretax Deductions, and Supplemental Earnings as they
relate to each federal-level tax.
For Earnings, a check mark indicates the earning is subject to that tax.
Note:
The Not Withholdable Federal Tax column indicates the earning is subject to federal tax but no tax is
withheld.
For Pretax Deductions, a check mark indicates that the deduction is subject to taxation and will not reduce
subject wages. If no check mark is present, then the deduction is not subject to taxation and will reduce
subject wages.
3. Navigate in the tree structure to Regional > Wage Basis Rules > State.

77
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

4. View the wage basis rules for Imputed Earnings, Pretax Deductions, and Supplemental Earnings as they
relate to each state-level tax.
5. Due to the large volume of data, filter the data to view a particular state. Use the field above the State
column to enter the value. If no field is available above the State column, select the filter icon.

Creating Wage Basis Rules


US legislation is not providing any wage basis rules at the local level (city, county, or school). The local wage
basis rules follow the state wage basis rules. There are a few states where the local wage basis rules differ from
the state wage basis rules. You must create the local wage basis rules in these cases.
For example, at the Ohio local level, Deferred Compensation 401k and Deferred Compensation 401k Catch Up
are subject to tax. At the Kentucky local level, all Pretax Section 125 secondary classifications are taxable
(Dental Care 125, Dependent Care 125, Flexible Spending Account, Health Care 125, Health Savings Account,
Health Savings Account Catch Up, and Vision Care 125).
Use the Manage Component Group Rules task from the Payroll Calculation work area to create a local wage
basis rule.
For example, to create a new city tax rule for Ohio:
1. Navigate in the tree structure to Regional > Related Deductions > City Tax > Wage Basis Rules.

78
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

2. Select Actions > Create.

The Create Wage Basis Rule UI appears.

3. Enter the following information:

79
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

Field Name Requirement Mapping


Effective Start Date Required Recommended to use either
implementation date or the earliest date a
pay period exists.
State Optional 2-character state abbreviation.
County Mandatory Appropriate county from the LOV.
Note:
Although the UI does not denote this field
as required, this information is necessary
for creating local tax rules.
City Mandatory Appropriate city from the LOV.
Note:
Although the UI does not denote this field
as required, this information is necessary
for creating local tax rules.
Primary Classification Mandatory Selected from LOV. The following are
used primarily for this configuration:
Imputed Earnings
Pretax Deductions
Supplemental Earnings
4. Mark the Select all secondary classifications checkbox if all secondary classifications under the primary
classification would be defined the same way.
Note:
For the purpose of this example, do not select the checkbox.
5. Click Submit.
You may need to query by state to see the data you just created. If so, enter a value in field directly above
State for the state entered in previous step. This filters the data in the UI for that state. If a blank field is not
available for entry above State, select the filter icon.

These rules are stamped with the LDG and are not overwritten by Oracle Fusion HRMS (US).
6. Select the row to update.
You must repeat the following steps for each combination of primary classification and secondary
classification for each state / county / city that needs updating.

80

For Ohio, 401 (k) does not reduce subject wages at the local level and is considered taxable.
9. Click Submit.
The Wage Basis Rules UI returns the row corrected with a check in the Use in Wage Basis column.

81
Oracle Fusion HRMS (US): Implementation and Use

10. Create a wage basis rule for Deferred Compensation 401k Catch Up.
This change must be completed for every state / county / city combination for the locales the employer is in
for Ohio.
11. If county taxes are impacted, the same entries must be applied for the state / county combination for each
appropriate primary classification/secondary classification.
12. Complete a review of all secondary classifications impacted to determine which entries require corrections.
For Example:
When working with pretax deductions, determine what Section 125 secondary classifications are impacted for
a particular state / county / city or state / county combination. There could be a difference between the
treatment of HSAs, FSAs, Dental, Vision, Healthcare, and Dependent Care. One or more may need
corrections where others may not.
