FAQ
Acceptable Media
Reports can be submitted electronically.
Format Being Used
New Jersey WR-30 format is used.
The name of the file produced by MRNJ is WRxxxx.txt (where
xixx is the NJ Magnetic Media Authorization Code). This is the filename required by
the EDD.
Why Unemployment Wages Might be Incorrect
The most common reason Unemployment Wages for a particular
employee are reported incorrectly is that a deduction was not made
because an Earnings Code was not set up correctly so a deduction
would be made in Unemployment Wages.
The MRNJ program reports exactly what is contained in Qtd Wages
Subject To Unemployment field the Employee’s P/R Employee Tax
Summary File record (for technical readers, this is the PR3[9]
numeric).
To correct Unemployment Wages before reporting, use the Fix button
in Employee Maintenance (click the Tax Summary button and then the
Fix button).
Supervisor rights are required to access the Fix button.
The Magnetic Media Summary Totals are
Different Than Another Report
Note that the specification for the magnetic media report differs
from the specification for a printed report. For example, employees
with negative numbers for wages or zero wages cannot be reported in
the magnetic media file according to the specification.
The Quarterly Tax Summary Report may not match the Magnetic Media
Summary Report due to either the Limit not being applied, deduction
codes for Cafeteria plan, or non-taxable wages not being set up
properly.
Archival Backups of Payroll
Data
MAS 90 does not retain summary data from previous quarters. It is
good practice to make a permanent copy of a quarter’s Payroll
data before running Period End Processing. When Period End Processing
is run, the total buckets are cleared.
To report from a previous quarter, make a copy of the current
Payroll data, restore the Payroll data from the desired quarter, make
a report and then restore the current quarter Payroll data. |
