Well, yes and no. Yes, in that the clients we have had the
issue with have had a supplemental wage listing attached but
no, in that we fully expect to get back some of the other
forms that were printed from the DOL website, as *they*
don't match what the DOL now apparently requires the format
to be.

Stay tuned.

I don't know which form we had at work but I'm sure we had
the supplemental wage listing attached, so we expect to get
that one back. I had to use a downloaded form for our
business and even though it was only one employee, since it
is not the new format I expect to get that one back, too.

Actually, Paul, the form lists it this way: SSN, last name,
first initial and gross wages.

Our software lists the name as we have it in the system
(which would be the way SSA wants them listed--as they
appear on the employee's card).

But, apparently the DOL is getting to be hard-core about it.
We have gotten two DOL-4s back so far. They both had the
attached wage listing but we really do expect to get more of
them back, as the forms available online don't match the
ones they now seem to require. The old forms are the ones
online. Since many of our clients don't send their DOL4s to
us, we have to use the ones we can get from the DOL website.

We are not amused. <G

Only two remaining Georgia payroll clients right now
(hoping there will be one less after March 15th). But no
negative feedback from Georgia DOL on this. I reckon you're
speaking of page two where we list employee names and ssn?

I've always used a payroll program I wrote back about 1979
(back when there was no software for personal computers),
and it generates a quarterly list of employees
alphabetically with ssn and quarterly wages on plain paper
of course.

If you used the DOL form, employees are listed in this
order: SSN, Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial, Gross
Wages.

Any schedules you might attach would have to be in a similar
format.

My software lists the employees by SSN (000-00-0000 first,
999-99-9999 last).

I don't know if the DOL is hard core about that though, or
if it's just the programmers choice.

One of our clients received their DOL-4 return back from the
Georgia DOL. According to the DOL the format for reporting
employees names and wages has been changed. It has been
changed to a non-standard format (one that does not match
the reporting requirements for IRS/SSA purposes).

I'd be interested in hearing from other Georgia employers or
accounting (or payroll prep) firms who report for their
clients. I'd especially be interested in hearing from any
who recall getting a notice from the DOL. I'm involved in
reporting wages both as an employer and as a reporting
agency for others and do not recall getting a notice.
Neither does my employer.

Harlan, I seem to recall you saying that you have Georgia
clients. Do you recall getting a notice or them getting a
notice that they sent to you?
