Washington Labor and Industries (L&I) tax is generally paid by both the company and the employee. It is based on hours worked with different rates for different occupations being grouped according to risk classification. For a complete list of rates and risk classes you may refer to http://www.lni.wa.gov/.
Since this tax is not part of the system default taxes, there is a need to add this into the system as a custom tax. Let us consider the class code 0301-06 Agricultural sprinkler/irrigation systems as an example to demonstrate on how to setup this tax in Windward Payroll.
As of 2015, under class code 0301-06, the employer should contribute $1.09480 and withhold $0.30530 from the employee's pay for every hours worked.
In the employee's worksheet of a pay run, once the number of hours will be entered into the worksheet, L&I tax will then be calculated. This tax is calculated based on the number of hours rendered for work by the employee and a rate specified by the Labor and Industries.
However, for a salaried employee, a required number of hours within a period will need to be specified or set in the income item of the specific employee.
