There are certain state-specific data required to be entered at the GRE level to support proper reporting of Out of State Wages in the quarterly wage listings.

arrow icon   To set the Out of State Wage Indicator for Ohio (OH):

  1. In the Organization window, query the GRE for which to enter SPWL record data (if it does not already appear there).

  2. With Government Reporting Entity selected in the Organization Classifications region of the Organization window, choose Others and select SQWL Employer Rules (4).

  3. Click in the Additional Organization Information field to open the SQWL Employer Rules (4) window.

  4. Select Yes or No in the Out of State Wages (OH) field. The default is 'No'. You can change this field as required to accommodate the out of state wages reporting requirement.

    Note: As you may need to set the Out of State Wages indicator every quarter, the Out of State Wages (OH) indicator set at GRE(s)? parameter is available for the Ohio SPWL concurrent program to serve as a reminder and defaults to Yes. This is a reminder that the Out of State Wage indicator must be set each quarter, and prior to submitting the Ohio SPWL report.

The default value is No. LWC requires a Y to be reported in RE record, position 254, if your employees report wages to Louisiana and to other states. Otherwise, it should be set to N (or left blank).
