Website Main Menu
Employee Update
The Employee Update screen allows you to modify existing employees and terminate those who are no longer employed for the selected employer. It also allows you to mark the Out of State Indicator to add, modify or view employees with out of state wages that can be used towards Montana's taxable wage base. This screen cannot be accessed by the WOW Main Menu screen, it can only be accessed by pressing the Modify Employee link on the Input/Update Employees screen.

This screen has the following sections:

EMPLOYER
EMPLOYER INFORMATION
BUTTONS

This section displays the FEIN, UI Account Number, and Business Name for the selected Employer. The information can not be updated, it is display only.

FEIN field

WOW displays the FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) of the selected employer.

UI Acct No field

WOW displays the Montana UI Account Number of the selected Employer.

Business Name field

WOW displays the Business Name of the selected Employer.

This section displays all employees previously entered in WOW for the selected employer. The SSN, Last Name, First Name, Mid, Terminated Final Pay Date, and Out of State Indicator fields display each employee’s information in input boxes. All of this information can be modified, by clicking in the appropriate box and typing in the correct information.

SSN

This field displays SSN's of all existing employees (Employees that you have previously uploaded or manually entered into WOW). To modify an employee’s SSN, just click inside the appropriate box, and edit the SSN.
NOTE: Enter only nine digits in this field-no dashes or spaces!

LAST NAME

This field displays the Last Names of all the existing Employees (Employees that have been previously uploaded or manually entered into WOW). To modify an employee’s Last Name, just click inside the appropriate box, and edit the Name. This is a required field.

This field displays the First Names of all the existing Employees (Employees that have been previously uploaded or manually entered into WOW). To modify an employee’s First Name, just click inside the appropriate box, and edit the Name. This is a required field.

This field displays the Middle Initial of all the existing Employees (Employees that have been previously uploaded or manually entered into WOW). To modify an employee’s Middle Initial, just click inside the appropriate box, and edit the Letter.

TERMINATED-FINAL PAY DATE

This field displays the Final Payroll Date of any terminated employees that you have on WOW. If an employee on your list no longer works for the selected employers, click in the appropriate input box, enter the last payroll date for this employee and click SAVE. This date must be entered in the format “MM/DD/YYYY”. Once an employee is terminated, he/she will no longer appear on the Input Montana Employee Wage screen for the quarters after the Terminated Date that you entered. If a previously terminated employee (who appears on the bottom of the Existing Employees List with a Termination Date) is re-hired with this employer, click the appropriate Termination Date input box, completely remove the Terminated Date and Save. This will add the employee back to your list of employees, and the employee will appear on the Input Montana Employee Wages screen for all quarters.

This field displays a checked box if an employee has been designated as having Out of State Wages that can be used towards Montana's taxable wage base. Once this box is checked, it can never be modified. This box allows the employees names and/or wages to be added, modified and viewed on the Out od State Wages History screen.
