Need some feedback for client regarding NY state PR. See below. She is asking for advice on how to set up a state mandated deduction. I am thinking setting it up as a regular deduction but she is throwing out the possibility of calling it short term disability. How are others handling this NY state requirement? TIA
_The situation is this: New York is now providing their residents with Paid Family Leave. They intend for it to be 100% employee paid through payroll deductions at .126% of the employee's weekly wage capped at $1.65 per week (which equals $1,305.92 weekly wage) The NYPFL must be handled through the same providers as the NY Disability coverage. So the employer pays for the coverage and is reimbursed through PR deductions. My problem is: Hawthorne has 2 employees in NY one who will be capped at $1,305.92 and one just under that. Do I set this deduction up under the Tax maintenance screen like the State Disability Ins reimb. Deduction (box 14 on W-2's) or should it be set up as a regular deduction._
