How do workplaces impact tax withholding and reporting?
Workplaces define which state and local taxes apply, which government agencies require reporting, and what filing authorizations need to be completed for accurate payroll tax compliance.
How does Lumber handle federal, state, and local tax filings?
Lumber automatically calculates federal, state, and local taxes in every payroll run. Taxes are tied to your workplace settings, so wherever your crews work, the right tax rates and rules are applied without manual intervention.
Can I manage different tax requirements for multiple project sites?
Yes. Lumber lets you create and assign workplaces that represent your job sites. Each workplace can have its own tax settings, including automatic assignment based on where employees clock in or restrictions based on employee residency.
