Special Note – North America

Potential Problem - Deleting Orphan File Attachments

A potential problem has been identified in Release 9.0 for Payroll for North America customers. The

PeopleTools Utility delivered for deleting orphan file attachments will wipe out all file attachments used for generating W-2/W-2C and/or T4/T4A year-end forms.

The following information is from Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: System and Server

Administration > Using PeopleTools Utilities:

Remove Orphan File Attachments from Database

An accumulation of file attachments can consume a significant chunk of disk space. On a regular basis, you should make sure that lingering, or orphaned, file attachments are deleted from the database. Click the Delete Orphan File Attachments button to complete this task. This button invokes the CleanAttachments PeopleCode function.

Navigation to this Utility is via PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration > Copy File Attachments

What do you need to do?

Do NOT use the Delete Orphan File Attachments pushbutton on the Copy File Archive page.

Development is working on providing guidance for those customers who have the need to use this functionality. We are tracking this issue under Bug 1868095000 .

This information has also been posted as an announcement on MetaLink 3 under Document ID 815937.1.

New Form W-4 Prohibits Flat Amount or Percentage Withholding

Form W-4 as issued by the Internal Revenue Service for 2009 includes the following new wording in the instructions to employees: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf

“For regular wages, withholding must be based on allowances you claimed and may not be a flat amount or percentage of wages.”

To comply with this IRS requirement that employees may not request that their U.S. federal withholding tax be either a flat amount or a percentage of wages, the new warning message shown below is generated on the Federal Tax Data page if the user attempts to save the page when Special Withholding

Tax Status = “Maintain Taxable Gross” and a value greater than zero is entered in either the Amount or

Percentage fields under FWT Additional Amount.

The new warning message pictured above will be generated if the user attempts to save either of the data entry combinations shown below:

Special Withholding Tax Status

“Maintain Taxable Gross”

AND

FWT Additional Amount fields

Amount > $ 0.00 and / or

Percentage > 00.000

Note: This prohibition against claiming withholding as a flat amount or a flat percentage of wages is already currently enforced when employees are updating their Federal Tax Data using the employee selfservice function.

Arizona Withholding Tax Changes effective May 1, 2009

Arizona Senate Bill 1185 (signed into law on April 9, 2009) amends the amounts required to be withheld for Arizona state withholding tax as a percentage of an employee’s federal withholding tax. Information concerning this legislation is available on the website of the Arizona Department of Revenue. http://www.azdor.gov/Newsroom/Releases/SB-1185-Withholding-Q-A.pdf

Arizona state tax is withheld as a percent of an employee’s federal income tax withholding. Effective May

1, 2009, the Arizona state tax withholding rates are increased as follows:

Old Rate (Percentage of FWT) New Rate (Percentage of FWT)

10%

19 %

23 %

25 %

31 %

37 %

11.5 %

21.9 %

26.5 %

28.8 %

35.7 %

42.6 %

Also effective May 1, 2009, the default percentage to be used to calculate Arizona withholding as a percentage of federal income tax withholding for an employee who does not complete Arizona Form A-4 is increased from 19 % to 21.9 %. (Employees with annual compensation less than $15,000 may use the lower 11.5 % rate.)

To implement the required May 1, 2009, Arizona withholding tax changes, this tax update delivers object changes and an updated version of the program TAX516AZ.SQR. (Note: These changes were also previously delivered in Report ID 1869753000 posted to MetaLink 3 by 27 April 2009.)

TAX516AZ.SQR is a special program designed to assist employers in implementing Arizona state withholding tax rate changes. The version of TAX516AZ.SQR delivered with this tax update includes modifications to update State Tax Data records for employees subject to Arizona withholding tax with new rates required by the Arizona Department of Revenue effective May 1, 2009.

TAX516AZ.SQR inserts new effective-dated Employee Tax Data records (or updates existing records) with the required new Arizona withholding percentages for employees subject to Arizona withholding tax.

TAX516AZ.SQR will update Employee Tax Data records for employees who

1. Are currently subject to Arizona state withholding tax (i.e., have an active AZ row in EE State Tax

Data); and

2. Are not terminated (PS_JOB.ACTION = TER) prior to the TAX516AZ.SQR run date; and

3. Have an Arizona withholding percentage rate that was valid prior to the May 1, 2009 Arizona withholding percentage rate changes.

P E O P L E S O F T P A Y R O L L T A X U P D A T E 0 9 - C R E L E A S E 9 J U N E 1 5 , 2 0 0 9

TAX516AZ.SQR may be found under the Periodic Payroll Events USA or Periodic Payroll Events USF menus under Mass Employee Tax Data Updates.

The program can be run in audit mode or update mode.

The program executes using the current system date for the "as of" date. For all eligible employees who have valid Employee Tax Data records with an effective-date less than the current system date,

TAX516AZ.SQR will create and insert a new row of Employee Tax Data records with an effective date of the current system date. This new row of Employee Tax Data records will copy-forward all of the existing information from the employee's most recent Employee Tax Data record with an effective-date less than the current system date (FED_TAX_DATA and any applicable STATE_TAX_DATA and

LOCAL_TAX_DATA records).

If the employee has an Employee Tax Data record with an effective-date equal to the current system date, TAX516AZ.SQR will update the PERCENT_OF_FWT field with the new Arizona withholding percentages.

If the employee has future-dated records, the PERCENT_OF_FWT field will be updated with the new

Arizona withholding percent on those future-dated records also. An employee who is not currently in

Arizona, but has a future-dated row for Arizona will be edited and changed as appropriate.

An em ployee with an Action of “TER” (Terminated) as of or prior to the run date will not be changed. An employee with an Action of "TER” (Terminated) for a future date will have updates as appropriate for current and future rows.

TAX516AZ.SQR will also create a report. The report will list the EMPLID, Company, Name, the effectivedate of the new Employee Tax Data record (if updated), Prior Percent of FWT, New Percent of FWT, and

Comments (error conditions or informational messages). There are five possible entries in the Comments column:

1. "Error: FED and ST tax row EFFDT not equal - No Update." This message indicates that the program could not find FEDERAL_TAX_DATA and STATE_TAX_DATA record with corresponding effective dates. This error condition occurs in cases where the files are out of sync and should be investigated.

2. "Error: Existing AZ Tax Percent Invalid - No Update." The program could not determine the appropriate percentage to change.

3. "Informational Message: Found tax row dated => Eff Date. Updated." The program has encountered a future-dated AZ row. If the data passes the above edits, it will be updated with the new percentages.

4. "Informational Message: Found tax row dated = Eff Date. Updated." The program is modified to update the row if the run date = an existing State Tax Data row for an employee. For example, if the program is executed on 05/01/09 and the employee already has a State Tax Data row dated

05/01/09, the State Tax Data row dated 05/01/09 will be updated with the new AZ tax percentage.

If the data passes the above edits, it will be updated with the new percentages.

5. "Informational Message: Multi Job – Same Company – Already Updated.”

Note: The version of TAX516AZ.SQR delivered in the posting of Report ID 1869753000 is not the same version of TAX516AZ.SQR being delivered in this Tax Update 09-C. The version of TAX516AZ.SQR delivered in this Tax Update 09-C includes additional program modifications – see the discussion of

TAX516AZ.SQR in the later section of this document “U.S. SQRs Delivered with Tax Update 09-C” for information on the additional changes.

Customers who have already run the version of TAX516AZ.SQR delivered in the posting of Report ID

1869753000 do not need to re-run the updated version of the program delivered in this tax update.

(Report ID 1869753000 posted to MetaLink 3 by 27 April 2009; the version of TAX516AZ.SQR delivered in this tax update also includes the modifications documented in Report ID 1872758000.)

Temporary Quebec Tax Credit Increase for the Purchase of Shares Issued by Fondaction

The rate of the tax credit for the purchase of shares issued by Fondaction has temporarily been increased from 15% to 25% for purchases made after May 31, 2009. The increase changes the calculation of income tax withholdings of employees who subscribe to the fund by means of a deduction from their pay, for pay periods beginning after May 31, 2009.

An additional tax formula variable Q1 was introduced to differentiate between purchases of shares in the

FTQ and purchases of shares in Fondaction, for pay periods beginning after May 31, 2009.

Employers that have employees in this situation should use the LCF Amount and Labour Sponsored

Shares Amount fields on the employee’s Canadian Tax Data component to reflect the current federal LCF amount and the shares in the FTQ.

Enter the current federal LCF amount into the LCF Amount field on the Canadian Income Tax Data page:

01/01/2009 in order to preserve the existing table entry dated 01/01/2009 for historical audit purposes.) http://www.nd.gov/tax/indwithhold/pubs/withholdingbooklet2009.pdf

The Nevada minimum wage is increased from $6.85 to $7.55 per hour effective July 1, 2009, per State of

Nevada Minimum Wage 2009 Annual Bulletin published by Office of the Labor Commissioner. http://www.laborcommissioner.com/docs/4-1-09%20Minimum%20Wage%20Bulletin.doc

Also on the table entry effective-dated 07/01/2009, the tax rate for the Nevada Modified Business Tax is set to zero (0.000000). This tax is no longer supported in the PeopleSoft Payroll for North America product beginning July 1, 2009, as a result of the restructuring of the tax mandated by the enactment of Nevada

Senate Bill 429. The employer’s tax rate for this tax will now vary from quarter to quarter depending on the employer’s total wages paid in Nevada each quarter, and with this restructuring of the tax, calculating and tracking the tax at an individual employee level is no longer required or meaningful. http://www.leg.state.nv.us/75th2009/Bills/SB/SB429_EN.pdf

A table entry effective-dated 01/01/2009 is added to increase the West Virginia state unemployment insurance taxable wage base for tax year 2009 from $8,000 to $12,000, per a letter to employers dated May

26, 2009 as published on the Workforce West Virginia website. http://www.workforcewv.org/logos/law%20changes%20-%202009_1.pdf

The letter advises that employers are not required to make retroactive payment adjustments for employees whose first quarter 2009 wages exceeded the previous maximum taxable wage limit of $8,000. For example, if an employee had $10,000 in taxable wages during the first quarter, and the employer paid unemployment tax on only $8,000, the employer does not have to amend its first quarter tax return. Instead, the employer should pay tax on the next $4,000 of taxable wages that the employee earns in subsequent quarters. Amended first quarter returns are not required even if there were employees reported in the first quarter who no longer work for the employer after the first quarter.

Report ID Description

1799790000 Report ID 1799790000 modifies PSPUSTAX.CBL to correctly calculate employee and employer

SDI (or VDI) taxable gross wages and the associated tax amounts when an employee transfers from one type of disability plan to the other (SDI to VDI, or VDI to SDI) and the new plan has a lower rate than the previous plan. (The states which mandate disability insurance coverage are CA, RI, NY, NJ, HI and PR.) Prior to the modifications, in this scenario, when the employee’s YTD disability taxable gross was close to the annual maximum taxable gross wage limit, the disability taxable gross wages and the associated taxes were not calculated.

1803399000 Report ID 1803399000 modifies PSPUSTAX.DMS to successfully process PSPPYRUN in Pay

Calculation when calculating the Pennsylvania Local Services Tax (LST) for employees with a blank primary pay group. Parentheses from the “DISTINCT” portion of the select cause are removed from the store statement (initially added in Tax Update 08-A for Report ID 1727727000). Prior to the modifications, Pay

Calculation failed on Informix databases with the following syntax error:

Informix Error [-201] ISAM Error [0] A syntax error has occurred on Stored Stmt PSPUSTAX_S_ACTPGS.

E&G

USF

Report ID 1831944000 modifies PSPPYGRP.CBL, PSPPYGRP.DMS, PSPPYNET.CBL,

PSPPYNET.DMS, and copy member PSCPSLCT.CBL to support the correct calculation of the

FICA/retirement plan credit step in the calculation of Massachusetts state withholding tax.

The Massachusetts withholding calculation formula allows a credit against the employee's taxable wages up to an annual maximum of $2,000 for amounts deducted for Medicare and Social Security, or for other retirement plans if the employee is not covered by Social Security, as described in the Massachusetts withholding calculation instructions published in Circular M on the website of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. http://www.mass.gov/Ador/docs/dor/Forms/Wage_Rpt/PDFs/circ_m08.pdf

Prior to the modifications, Massachusetts state withholding tax was calculated incorrectly under certain circumstances when “Actual FICA” was selected as the FICA CREDIT option on the State Tax Table entry for

Massachusetts and an employee had YTD retirement balances but no current check retirement deduction. In this scenario, the employee’s YTD retirement deductions were not applied as a credit in the withholding tax calculation, resulting in Massachusetts tax being overwithheld.

Report ID Description

1845205000 Report ID 1845205000 modifies PSPTAXDT.CBL to correctly calculate employee and employer

SDI (or VDI) taxable gross wages and the associated tax amounts when an employee lives in a state that does not mandate disability coverage but works in multiple states and the work state identified as the UI jurisdiction state is a state that does mandate disability coverage (CA, RI, NY, NJ, HI or PR).

An example of the problem scenario would be an employee living in Delaware and working in both

Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with New Jersey specified as the UI jurisdiction state. Prior to the modifications, in this scenario, the New Jersey UI subject wages were correct, but the New Jersey SDI (or

VDI) wages failed to include the wages earned in Pennsylvania, and as a result the associated SDI (or VDI) taxes were under-calculated.

1848149000 Report ID 1848149000 modifies PSPGCALC.CBL and PSPGPROR.CBL to ensure that garnishment deduction limits are correctly observed when more than one rule is used (e.g., Illinois) and proration occurs.

For example, prior to the modifications, the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act limit of 25% of disposable earnings was not correctly observed when an employee was set up with two Illinois writs and each writ had the following 3 rules defined on Garnishment Specification 6 page:

IL/GEN-CALC B

IL/ GENSTATEMW

$U/GENERAL

The limit was also not applied correctly when garnishment proration rule FSTPRO was invoked.

1852891000 Report ID 1852891000 modifies PSPTCALC.CBL and PSPTCALC.DMS to correctly eliminate future calculated but unconfirmed on-cycle paychecks from aggregate tax processing. Prior to the modifications, if an on-cycle check had been calculated but not confirmed, the tax from the calculated but unconfirmed check was erroneously used in the aggregate tax calculation of a subsequent off-cycle check.

1855001000 Report ID 1855001000 modifies PSPCNTAX.CBL to ensure that the correct taxable gross amount is used during a bonus tax calculation when the bonus payment includes a before-tax general deduction.

Prior to the modifications, in some situations, if a bonus payment included a before-tax general deduction that was defined as a percentage of a special accumulator, the tax was based on an incorrect taxable gross amount.

1855085000 Report ID 1855085000 modifies PSPCNTAX.CBL to apply the Quebec maximum Employment

Insurance (EI) credit to the income tax calculation for cross-province taxation when the province of residence is Quebec. Prior to the modifications, the federal EI maximum was used to calculate the maximum credit in this situation instead of the Quebec EI maximum credit.

1857024000 Report ID 1857024000 modifies PSPTCALC.CBL, PSPUSTAX.CBL, and PSPTCALC.DMS to correctly determine which taxation method to use when the employee’s most recent previous paycheck did not include tax withheld from regular wages. Prior to the modifications, if the employee’s last previous paycheck did not have tax withheld on regular wages, but the employee did have tax withheld on regular wages at another point in the current year prior to the current check, the aggregate tax method was used instead of the flat percent of taxable gross method for supplemental wages.

1857118000 Report ID 1857118000 modifies PSPPYNET.CBL and PSPTGCTB.CBL to correctly calculate the state unemployment no limit gross and taxable gross wage amounts when an employee with before-tax deductions is paid regular taxable earnings in combination with a bonus earnings that is subject to supplemental withholding tax but set up as non-taxable for federal and state unemployment tax purposes.

Prior to the modifications, the state unemployment no limit gross and taxable gross wage amounts incorrectly included a portion of the before-tax deduction amounts.

1859892000 Report ID 1859892000 modifies PSPECALC.CBL to correctly prorate Additional Pay transactions during the Pay Calculation process for the following scenario:

1.

The employee is paid for an earnings code that is set up on the Earnings Table as Payment Type =

“Flat Amount”; and

2.

A mid-pay effective-dated change is entered on the employee’s Job record; and

3.

One of the employee’s Paylines contains no workdays (e.g., Saturday or Sunday or both); and

4.

The employee’s Paygroup is non-FLSA.

Prior to the modifications, in the above scenario, the program split the Paysheet as expected, but incorrectly paid the full amount of the Additional Pay on the Payline containing no workdays.

Quarterly Reporting SQRs

SQR

TAX008.SQR

TAX810AR.SQR

RPTSMMRY.SQC

Description

TAX008.SQR is the Quarterly State Tax Summary Report. The program is modified to correctly display data for the new Family Leave Insurance (FLI) Voluntary Employee and Employer tax classes for New

Jersey that became effective January 1, 2009. Prior to the modifications, zeros printed incorrectly for the state total taxable grosses for Voluntary Employee and Employer FLI as a result of a typographical error in the references to the variables delivered in Report ID 1832975000 in Tax Update 09-B.

(Report ID 1866059000)

TAX810AR.SQR in conjunction with RPTSMMRY.SQC reports state quarterly wage and tax data to

Arkansas. The program is redelivered with the following modifications to comply with the revised wage reporting specifications required by the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services effective beginning with reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2009. http://www.dws.arkansas.gov/ForEmployer/A_pcdnld.htm

1.

Entries in positions 129-137 of the 1E record (out of state excess) are required if deductions are made from total wages due to an employee transferring from another state. A new grid is added to the run control page for Arkansas for inputting this new “Out of State Excess Wage

Amount”. If applicable, employers should enter the correct dollar amount for each Company.

2.

The employee name information in positions 12-65 of the 1S record is now reported in separate individual fields: last name, first name, middle name/initial, and suffix. Previously the entire employee name was reported in one single field.

3.

The Reporting Medium and Diskette Type fields are removed from the run control page for

Arkansas (PS_RUNCTL_TAX810AR) because this information is no longer required.

The file created in the revised format should be submitted online; tape reporting is no longer accepted.

Diskettes can still be submitted using this format if the employer’s data does not exceed the capacity of a single diskette, but Arkansas prefers online reporting.

Note: See the Special Notes section earlier in this document for a description of the changes to the

Arkansas quarterly wage reporting run control page.

TAX810NC.SQR TAX810NC.SQR reports quarterly wage and tax data to North Carolina. The program is modified to successfully process the calculation of large total wage amounts by using the arguments 15,3 for the

DECIMAL function on DB2 databases. Prior to the modifications, the program abended in this situation in a DB2 database with this error:

(SQR 5528) DB2 SQL FETCH error -406 in cursor 6:

SQR Description

TAX810NY.SQR TAX810NY.SQR reports quarterly wage and tax data to the New York Department of Taxation and Finance.

(Annual withholding tax data is also reported for fourth quarter reporting only.) Effective November 1, 2008, magnetic media files for NYS-45-ATT Wage Reporting are no longer accepted. Instead, all employers must use the Wage Reporting Web Upload to report data through the Online Tax Center. To comply with this change, the

Reporting Medium and Diskette Type fields are removed from the TAX810NY.SQR run control page since these items of information are no longer required. Note: See the Special Notes section earlier in this document for a description of the changes to the New York quarterly wage reporting run control page.

Employers must register to use the Online Tax Center before information can be uploaded. http://www.tax.state.ny.us/nyshome/efile_magmediapub911.htm

The same file created by TAX810NY.SQR for tape/diskette filing (based on the128-byte format in Publication 69) can be used for internet filing, and multiple accounts can still be included in the same upload file, just as they could be included in the same file when reporting on magnetic media. The file format and specifications have not changed, only the file delivery method is changed.

There are THREE different parts to New York Form NYS-45 that must be entered online:

Part A: Quarterly employer unemployment insurance tax information

Part B: Withholding tax information for New York State, New York City, and Yonkers

Part C: Employee unemployment insurance quarterly wage reporting (and annual withholding tax reporting on the report for the fourth quarter only)

Information for Parts A and B must be manually entered online separately for each employer account; PeopleSoft

Payroll for North America does not support the electronic filing of the information in Parts A and B.

Part C (employee wage reporting) is the function supported by the file created by TAX810NY.SQR. For Part C employee wage reporting, multiple accounts can be combined and included in one upload file. This file does not have to be submitted separately for each employer account number and should only be uploaded for the Employer specified on the Transmitter Record (1A).

The following is an example of the record sequence in a file created by TAX810NY.SQR containing data for two employers, Company X and Company Y:

1A

1E

1W

1W

1T

Employee Detail Records for Company X continued, etc.

Total Record for Company X

Company Y Employer Information

Employee Detail Records for Company Y

Employee Detail Records for Company Y continued, etc.

Total Record for Company Y

Final Record for file

The user will upload this complete employee wage data file (Part C) when they logon as the Transmitter Company

X. The user will not upload an employee wage data file when they log on as Company Y. These would be the processing steps in this situation with one user reporting data for both Company X and Company Y:

The user will log on as Company X and enter NYS-45 Part A and Part B information for Company X,

and upload the complete file containing Part C employee wage data for Company X and Company Y.

The user will then log on as Company Y and enter only NYS-45 Part A and Part B information for

Company Y.

Description

GARNID that was taken on the paycheck. Prior to the modifications, the Interface file incorrectly included garnishment information and amounts for garnishments that were not actually processed on the employee's paycheck (e.g., Garnishment Status = Cancelled).

TAX516AZ.SQR

J U N E 1 5 , 2 0 0 9

Description

TAX516AZ.SQR assists employers in implementing Arizona state tax withholding rate changes. The program is redelivered with updates to implement Arizona withholding tax changes which became effective May 1, 2009, as well as with other modifications.

1.

The program is modified to insert new Arizona state tax data rows for eligible employees with the increased Arizona percentages of Federal withholding that are required as of May

1, 2009.

2.

The audit report generated by TAX516AZ.SQR is modified to correct the printed Prior and

New Percent of FWT values for an employee with an existing Arizona State Tax Data record with an effective date matching the program execution run date.

3.

PeopleCode in the State Tax Data record is also modified to default the Arizona percent of

Federal withholding to 21.9 % as required by Arizona beginning May 1, 2009, and the State

Tax Data page is modified to correctly display 0.00 (instead of blank) when 0% is entered in AZ % of Federal Withholding field. (This PeopleCode will be invoked if changes are directly entered on the State Tax Data page.)

(Report ID 1869753000; Posted to MetaLink 3 by 27 April 2009)

The version of the program redelivered in Tax Update 09-C also includes the following modifications in addition to the modifications listed above which were included in the version of the program previously posted to MetaLink 3:

1.

The program is modified to update the row if the run date = an existing State Tax Data row for an employee (e.g., if the program is executed on 05/01/2009 and the employee already has a State Tax Data dated 05/01/2009 row for 5/1/09, the State Tax Data row dated

05/01/2009 will be updated with the new AZ tax percentage), and a message is displayed on the report: "Found tax row dated = Eff Date. Updated." Prior to this modification, the

State Tax Data row was not updated, and an error message was displayed on the report: "Found tax row dated = Eff Date. No Update."

2.

The program is modified to select future dated AZ rows when the employee does not have an active AZ row in State Tax Data at the time the program is run. For example, the employee has a CA tax row effective-dated 01/01/2009 and an AZ row effective-dated

06/01/2009. When the program is run on 05/01/2009, the AZ row dated 06/01/2009 will be updated with the new Arizona withholding percentage if it is a valid percentage and the employee has not been terminated as of the effective date on that State Tax Data row.

The effective date of the future-dated row is used as the effective date. The following message is displayed on the report: "Found tax row dated => Eff Date. Updated." Prior to this modification, the future dated AZ row was not selected for updating if the employee did not have a current AZ row when the program was run.

3.

The audit report headings are modified a.

“Effective Date” is changed to “Insert/Update Effective Date” b.

“Error” is changed to “Comments”. This column displays error messages as well as informational data.

4.

When the automatic tax data update feature is invoked in the Commercial and Federal products, PeopleCode is modified to default to the new required Arizona default withholding percentage for new hires, including hires from Applicant Tracking, adding a concurrent job, tax location changes, and Company transfers.

Note: Also see the discussion of Arizona Withholding Tax Changes in the earlier Special Notes section of this document for more information on running TAX516AZ.SQR.
