Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Wayland Custom Woodworking is a firm that manufactures custom cabinets and woodwork for business and residential customers. Students will have the opportunity to establish payroll records and to complete a month of payroll information for Wayland. Wayland Custom Woodworking is located at 1716 Nichol Street, Logan, Utah, 84321, phone number 435-555- 9877. The owner is Mark Wayland. Wayland's EIN is 91-7444533, and the Utah Employer Account Number is 99992901685WTH. Wayland has determined it will pay its employees on a semimonthly basis. Federal income tax should be computed using the percentage method. For Part 1 of this project, you will complete payroll for the last month (December) of the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2019, which consists of the final pay periods of the year. Once payroll has been completed for the fourth quarter, you will then file the annual tax forms for Wayland as well as prepare each employee's Form W-2 in Part 2 The SUTA (UI) rate for Wayland Custom Woodworking is 2.6 percent on the first $35,300. The state withholding rate is 4.95 percent for all income levels, deductions, and marital statuses, a table has been included to assist with calculations of state tax due for employees. No employee will reach the SOTA wage cap. Rounding can create a challenge. For this project, the hourly rate for the individuals should be rounded to five decimal places. So take their salary and divide by 2,080 (52 weeks at 40 hours per week) for full-time, nonexempt employees. Example: Annual Salary to Hourly Rate, Nonexempt Employee Employee Varden's annual salary is $42,000, and he is a nonexempt employee. Hourly rate = $42,000/(52 40) = $42,000 / 2,080 Hourly rate = $20.19231 per hour Example: Period Gross Pay, Salaried Employee Employee Chinson earns an annual salary of $24,000 and is paid semimonthly. Period gross pay = $24,000/24 = $1,000 gross pay For pay periods with holiday hours: determine the amount paid per day, multiply by the number of days applicable to each pay Annual salary: $24,000/(52 * 5) = $24,000 / 260 = $92.30769 (rounded to 5 decimal points) per day. After the gross pay has been calculated, round the result to only two decimal points prior to calculating taxes or other withholdings. Employees are paid for the following holidays occurring during the final quarter: Thanksgiving day and the day after, Thursday and Friday, November 28-29 Christmas, which is a Wednesday. Employees receive holiday pay for Tuesday, December 24, and Wednesday, December 25 For the completion of this project, refer to the tax-related information in the table below. For federal withholding calculations, use the percentage method tables in Appendix C, which is provided below. For Utah state withholding calculations, use the Utah Schedule 3 tax tables linked below (ensure to use the appropriate Utah table based on each employee's marital status). Both 401(k) and insurance are pre-tax for federal income tax and Utah income tax. Round calculations to get to final tax amounts and 401(k) contributions after calculating gross pay. Federal Withholding Allowance (less 401(k), Section 125) Federal Unemployment Rate (employer only) (less Section 125) Semimonthly Federal Percentage Method Tax Table State Unemployment Rate employer only) (less Section 125) State Withholding Rate (less 401(k), Section 125) $175.00 per allowance claimed 0.68 on the first $7,000 of wages Appendix C Table #3 2.68 on the first $35,300 of wages See Utah Schedule 3, Table A-l or use the Excel Version of Schedule 3 October 1: Wayland Custom Woodworking (WCW) pays its employees according to their job classification.
