Oregon WBF Assessment

[thedoor.staff]

We are setting up Payroll in version 11, and I am trying to figure out how to do Oregon's WBF Assessment. It is figured on # of hours worked. (1.4 cents per hour for employer, 1.4 cents per hour for employee)

Any ideas?

This may be one of those things you have to figure out manually, then enter the calculated number in the pay item.

If the person works the same number of hours every week, then you can just create this as a permanent entry and not need to touch it. However, I doubt that actually happens outside of the pastor (he only works an hour a week anyway)

You would need to add 2 new pay items, one for the employee withholding, and then one for the employer liability.

The steps would go like this:

1. add a new Tax Type of WBF.
2 add a new Pay Item Description of WBF Employee and use the tax type, but make sure you have a liability account setup to hold the funds.
3. add a new Pay Item Description of WBF Employer, use the new tax type, but you're going to have to have an expense account to show where in the budget the funds are coming from, but you'll use the same liability account as in 2.
4. Add these to each employee as a pay item, calculate the amount, then enter that in the employee withholding and the employer liability.

Unless someone knows of a programmatic way to do this in this version of PCPlus, this may be the only way to accomplish this.

Thanks! Your descriptions really helped me navigate everything. I think modifying by hand won't be that big of a deal now that it is set up.
