Steps: Set Up Local Minimum Wage Rates (USA)

Steps: Set Up Local Minimum Wage Rates (USA)

You can set up local minimum wage rates to:
  • Help you comply with the government regulations of local counties and cities.
  • Calculate income withholding orders (IWOs) and help you determine pay rates and disposable earnings for IWO deductions.
  1. Map the local minimum wage rate to the location of a business site.
    1. Access the
      View Location
       report.
    2. On the
      Business Site
       tab, click
      Edit
       to select an authority from the
      Local Minimum Wage Authority
      prompt.
    Security:
    Location: View
    domain in the Organizations and Roles functional area.
  2. (Optional) If there are multiple minimum wage rates, access the
    Record US Withholding Order for Worker
     task for a creditor garnishment or state tax levy IWO to override the set local minimum wage rate for the worker's location.
    On the
    Local Minimum Wage
     tab:
    1. Select the
      Use Override Rate
       check box.
    2. Enter a local minimum wage rate in the
      Local Minimum Wage Amount
       field.
    Security:
    Worker Data: Payroll (Income Withholding Orders) - USA
     domain in the USA Payroll functional area.
    Workday compares the local, federal, and state minimum wage rate and uses the highest rate for the IWO calculation if the
    Use Override Rate
     check box is:
    • Checked.
    • Unchecked and there's a set local minimum wage authority.
Workday displays the set local minimum wage rate for the worker's primary job location on creditor garnishment and state tax levy IWOs.
