Hi,
I work for several companies who have more than one L&I rate. Will the 2010program allow more than one rate? It is an incredible amount of work to figure it manually and then quarterly reporting is brutal for me. I love Z-pay but will have to switch to a payroll program that allows more than one rate if this is not fixed. Also, the hourly report on Zpay rounds up regardless if it is a .25 of an hour, this also effects how much workers comp is paid. The Washington state workers comp report rounds to the nearest dollar (up or down). Can you please fix this?

I'm guessing the L&I is the SUTA or SDI tax. You can set that in the Company settings in the Overrides.

For the hours reports, there are two different reports, the one that rounds is under the Tax Reports section of the Report Center. That was created some years ago just for Washington state.

No I am referring to workers compensation (known as L&I in Washington state) and currently Zpay only allows one workers comp rate to be entered. Ie, I have a business that has Clerical staff, Asphault staff, and Striping staff all three are different workers comp rates. Also the report that rounds in the tax report section always rounds up. ie 10.25 hrs will be shown as 11 hrs on the report. It should be 10 hours. This report need to round up or down to the nearest hour.

I would set the L&I up as a miscellaneous Deduction making sure that you set it to print on the W2 Form in the proper box for reporting.

But thinking about having three different rates, this is a problem as if L&I is calculated by the hours worked, the only tool we have is that W/C tax that is in the tax settings under State II. All I can think of is editing the W/C after calculating the taxes for those with different rates.

We are looking into the rounding +/- and will fix it in the next release.
