For OnPay to effectively calculate state tax contributions, you'll need to ensure the tax rates entered in OnPay are correct for each state where your company has a tax obligations. For example, if you operate in both Virginia and West Virginia, you must keep payroll tax information up-to-date for each (and every) state where you pay employees.
What you'll need
- VEC Account Number
- Virginia UI tax rate
Where to find your SUI tax information
Refer to the most recent Unemployment Insurance Tax Rate Notice you received from the Virginia Employment Commission.
- Your VEC Account Number is listed in the upper left
- Your Virginia SUI rate is listed on the right, in the box labelled "Current Tax Rate"
Where to enter your rate in OnPay
