The Industrial Insurance Deduction

If employees are responsible for paying the employee-paid portion of Washington Industrial Insurance premiums, you must set up a deduction to calculate and deduct the premium during the payroll cycle. If the organization pays this portion of the premium for the employees, you do not need to set up this deduction.

When you set up the deduction, you must specify this information to ensure that the employee-paid portion of the premium is calculated and deducted correctly:

• The deduction should calculate for all employees that work in the state of Washington.

• The source of calculation for the deduction should be set up as the current period.

• The deduction should use the Workers Comp. Ins. Table method of calculation.

• The deduction should be set up to calculate during every pay period.

  Note:

  You can review the amounts that calculate for this DBA by processing the D/B/A Register (R073062) during the payroll cycle.

  You cannot manually override the amount of this deduction using the One Time Override program (P07OTO1). Overriding amounts for DBAs that are set up with a Method of Calculation of 7 is prohibited because changing these amounts might cause the information on government reports to be incorrect.

  If you feel that the amount that calculates for this deduction is incorrect, you can change any of this information and reprocess pre-payroll to recalculate the amount of the deduction:

  The value in the Workers Comp Code field on any or all of the employee's timecards

  The rates in the Workers Compensation Insurance tables that are associated with the values in the Workers Comp Code field on the employee's timecards
