US Payroll - Work Locations

Pgm: PYWRKLOC – Work Locations; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Local Tables > Work Locations

The Work Locations screen is used to help ensure accurate taxation as well as related workers’ compensation and public liability rates.

This screen is particularly important when setting up a US payroll as most localities within the United States administer a large proportion of their own taxes, rather than them being handled at a federal level.

Enter/select a unique location code.

Location Name, Short Name

Enter the full and short names of the work location.

Country, State/Province, County/Region, City/Town

Vertex Geo Code, State, County, City

The State, County, and City fields are read-only and cannot be edited.
