(CAN) Setting Up an EI Rate Code for Common Paymaster

Access the Canadian Tax Info by EE form.

EI Rate Code

Enter a code that allows you to override supplemental taxes for federal and state taxes and to add additional local residence taxes. Values are:

*FR: Override the federal supplemental tax for this employee.

*PR: Override the provincial supplemental tax for this employee.

*PA: Add additional provincial tax.

When you override supplemental taxes, you must leave the Tax Area and Tax Type fields blank.

The statutory code corresponds to the employer-paid EI rate that is to be used for this employee. For example, you might use U01 if the employee is eligible for a sick leave plan and is subject to a reduced employer-paid EI rate.
