The purpose of this article is to provide details regarding how the override work location functionality within the time file import affects different types of Employee and Employer taxes.

The Override Work Location functionality within the time file allows for the flexibility to have itinerant EE's while also remaining compliant with jurisdictions that require “localization” of employees for reporting purposes.  States generally require "localization of work" to ensure that an individual's employment is covered under only one state's unemployment law, even if the EE performs services across multiple states.  To accomplish this and still allow for itinerant EE’s isolved allows the EE’s default Work Location (Work Location on the EE’s Tax Information screen) to be overridden within the time file.  The override work location functionality is meant to be a temporary adjustment to work location or used when an EE is intermittently in multiple locations. The override does not change the EE’s default Work Location; only overrides it for the specific pay run.
