Thank you for that info. I have question if you don't mind sharing: how do you track the 30-day threshold? and do you do retroactive withholding once they have passed it?<br>
Hi Kate,<br><br>Here is a high-level overview of our process:<br><br>Compensation Team receives a monthly report of hotel stays (based on expense reports submitted) for all US employees.<br>Compensation Team analyzes the report for employees who have hotel night stays greater than 20 days<br>A 20-day letter is sent to an employee and their Manager when hotel nights are greater than 20 days in a non-resident state. There is no impact to employee’s state tax withholding at this point.<br>A 30-day letter is sent to an employee and their Manager when hotel nights are greater than 30 days in a non-resident state. <br>Payroll is notified and the next payroll is taxed accordingly. <br>The total percentage of taxation for any pay period is 100%. For example, employee is taxed in home state 30% non-resident state 70%.<br>The employee will be taxed in the non-resident state when they exceed 30 days<br>In the December payroll, employees receive a $50 stipend for each non-resident state they were taxed (to help off-set additional fees for tax preparation.)<br>We do not do any retroactive withholding.<br><br>I hope you find this information helpful.

Yes, for those employees that have worked 30 or more days in the course of a year in another state.
