Payroll Mate® Software Tutorials

This tutorial shows how to set up California Employment Training Tax (ETT) inside Payroll Mate® software.

 Note: As of this writing employers subject to ETT pay one-tenth of 0.1 percent (.001) on the first $7,000 in wages paid to each employee in a calendar year. The tax rate is set by statute at 0.1 percent (.001) of UI taxable wages for the employers with positive UI reserve account balances and employers subject to Section 977(c) of the California Unemployment Insurance Code. The maximum tax is $7 per employee, per year ($7,000 x .001). ETT is an employer-paid tax.
