Withholding for Multiple Work Locations

1. If an employee is working temporarily at a PA facility for a period of time that encompasses a “reporting quarter,” then the facility site would be the work location address used to determine the EIT rate and corresponding PSD code in the Address Search.
2. If an individual works for an employer who has a central business location in PA, but the employee “floats” or is transferred daily, weekly or monthly between other business sites, then the central or main employer business location would be the work location address to determine the EIT rate and corresponding PSD code in the Address Search.
3. If an employee is hired by an employer and receives work orders or instructions at home in PA but physically reports to other business sites on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, then the employee’s home address should be used as both the home and work location  address used to determine the EIT rates and corresponding PSD codes in the Address Search.
