How does Payroll Use the Workers' Compensation State or Province?

Payroll uses the workers' compensation information on Employee to calculate workers' compensation premiums for United States and Canada employees.

Premiums vary by state and province and are calculated in the application according to the type of work performed and the location (state or province) where the work is performed. A single industry code is usually assigned to a Canadian company. Canadian workers' compensation is based on this industry code.

For U. S. employees, choose the workers' compensation state on the United States tab of the Tax tab on Employee. If the workers' compensation state on the United States tab is left blank, information defaults from the work location state.

For Canada employees, choose the workers' compensation province on the Canada tab of the Tax tab on Employee. If you leave workers' compensation province blank on the Canada tab, the resident province defaults.

At time record entry, you can override the workers' compensation state or province.
