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 Washington and Oregon, you must keep payroll tax information up-to-date for each (and every) state where you pay employees.
What you'll need

- Washington UBI Number
- Subtotal of unemployment insurance rate
- Employment Administrative Fund rate
Where to find your SUI tax information
Refer to the most recent Tax Rate Notice you received from the Washington Employment Security Department.
- Your ESD and UBI numbers are listed in the upper right
- Your SUI rate is listed as "Subtotal of unemployment insurance", in the table of rates
- Your Employment Admin Fund (EAF) rate is in the next row of the table
- Do not use the "Total of the above rates"
Where to enter your rate in OnPay
Go to Company, then Payroll Taxes.
Do you pay employees in multiple states?
If so, select Washington under "Payroll Taxes".
Enter the information provided in your tax notice. Use the Update buttons to enter the following rates separately:
