CIC Plus further develops their employee self-service solution to help large companies quickly comply with the unique requirements associated with both New York and California Wage Theft Prevention Acts.

Skokie, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2012 -- CIC Plus, Inc., an employee self-service solution provider, launched a New York Wage Theft Prevention Act Solution in Q3 of 2011 to assist large employers with the annual and ongoing delivery events, as well as record retention associated with the new legislation. With California following suit fundamentally, albeit unique with their specific requirements, CIC Plus was well positioned to offer a solution.

With potential fines to employers of up to $50 per employee per week for non-compliance, the State of New York is taking the New York Wage Theft Prevention Act seriously. The Act requires that employers provide notice, including pay and company information, annually and for specific events. These notices must be offered in multiple languages, which to date, includes English, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Spanish.

"We spent a lot of time satisfying not only the 7 language requirements for New York, but also the 3 different intervals at which point employees need to acknowledge receipt," states Jeff Cohen, President of CIC Plus. "When California enacted similar legislation, we were poised well to help our clients."

As with many offerings available with CIC Plus, both the New York and California Wage Theft Prevention Act solutions adapt to each individual client's needs based on corporate culture and Human Resources/Payroll process flows already in place. The Notice forms are incorporated into CIC Plus' EForms LIbrary Solution. Employees view the Notice forms and can sign electronically. CIC Plus maintains record retention for clients, eliminating the manual burden that companies face handling the process themselves.

As Employers Race to Fulfill PA Act 32 Requirements by January 1, 2012, CIC Plus Steps in with Affordable, Easy-to-Manage Solutions

Skokie, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2011 -- CIC Plus Inc, an employee self service solutions provider has created a PA Act 32 solution for employers affected by the new requirements. The solution helps employers reduce workload for compliance requirements and avoid penalty fees.

Employers who have offices in PA, or individuals that work from their home offices in PA, are being given a new set of requirements to fulfill as of January 1, 2012. Starting in January, employers will be required to identify and withhold the higher of the two earned income tax (EIT) rates, based on where the employee resides versus where they are employed.

The requirements for employers include:

1) Register their business with the appropriate tax collection district.
2) Distribute, collect and retain a signed Residency Certification Form for each current employee and all new hires.
3) Send the appropriate withheld tax for all employees to the correct tax collection district.
4) At the end of each calendar year, complete an Annual Withholding Reconciliation Form and submit it to the appropriate tax collection district.

Additionally, since each municipality may have a different local withholding rate, employers will need to identify the correct rate for each municipality to be sure every PA employee is taxed correctly. Failure to comply with the new requirements or incorrect tax submissions will be subject to fines.

In response to these new demands, CIC Plus has developed a streamlined PA Act 32 solution which enables employers to stay compliant and reduces workload without a big strain on internal HR and/or payroll resources. CIC Plus' system identifies the required information on the Residency Certification Form, including: Municipality, County, PSD (political subdivision) Code and EIT Rate for both the Employee and Employer. Employers can choose an electronic or paper output for employees to sign the Residency Certification Form electronically or with a wet signature.

Employers are invited to call or email CIC Plus to find out if the PA 32 Solution is a good fit for their company. CIC Plus also offers other employee self service solutions including online pay stubs, online W-2s, online W-4s and custom e-forms for their clients.
