8.17 Sneak Peek
We couldn’t keep our 8.17 items a secret any longer!! Below is a sneak peek of our featured items that will be released on September 9th.

Remote Workers
This brand-new feature is sure to save time for those with employees who work remotely. With a check of a box, the employee is marked as a Remote Worker and their taxes are calculated using the residence address as both the work and home locations. This best works for companies who had to set up multiple work locations in the same state for local tax purposes but can be used for any company who has remote workers.
For example, our demo company does not have an actual work location in Pittsburgh; however, it uses the Remote Workers option which is attached to a location in Pennsylvania. We labeled this location as PA Remote Workers for easy identification. The employee currently lives in Pittsburgh so applicable Pittsburgh taxes will be applied to his/her pay based on home and work location being in Pittsburgh.
What if they move away from Pittsburgh, and will remain a remote worker? Since the employee is still in Pennsylvania, they can still be assigned that same work location, keeping the Remote Worker checked. The taxes will now be applied with Johnstown as their residence/work location.
As always, if your employee is working in a location that you don’t have a tax ID for, getting a tax account with the appropriate agency will still be required. The advantage is the list of work locations will be smaller and moves can be managed in an easier way for those remote workers. Please contact your Support team for more information or to get this feature set up for your company!
