Turning off state withholding for multiple states

unavailable in ajeraCore unless you have the Payroll add-on

When you turn off state withholding for multiple states, Ajera does the following for each employee ( > Setup > Employees > Payroll Taxes tab):

  • It inactivates all the additional states and taxes you set up.
  • It retains the state you entered in the Home State field.
  • In the Work State field, it automatically enters the state you had entered in the Default Work State field.

You cannot turn off state withholding for multiple states if you have a payroll that includes processed or preliminary paychecks.

Note: Turn off state withholding for multiple states only at the beginning of a new year. In this way, your withholding is performed in a consistent manner and it is easier to verify its accuracy.
