Re: What is Taxable Gross when You Report Income to EDD
That is correct. The quarterly reports on which benefits are calculated have a different definition, and that's something you really can't do anything about; the instructions are what they are.
Here's how it works. When the state processes the quarterly reports (which are due the end of the month following the end of the quarter), they do a cross-reference, and they will see that desertgal received benefits for weeks ending 1, 3, 4, 7, and 10 of the quarter. They then send a form to the employer that reported wages for the quarter for desertgal. They ask, for weeks ending 1, 3, 4, 7, and 10, what was the gross pay you paid desertgal (the pay frequency is irrelevant). The employer is instructed to report gross pay only; in that case, it will be $9.70 per hour times the hours you worked. If I remember correctly, the form also asks what days of those weeks desertgal worked, but not the hours on each day.
Does that make it clearer at all?
Re: What is Taxable Gross when You Report Income to EDD
Thanks! I think I got it. I mean, it should be common sense, why report income that I'm not receiving? The paystub just makes it look strange. I am just concerned that the pay reduction adjustment is only calculated at the time of payroll (which is bi-weekly) so if they were asking for weekly wages, it would not be calculated and the original amount would be listed as my income.
I guess if something's wrong, they will let me know and I can explain it to them. I also list my self-employment income, too, but I've already been approved for that it it's noted in my record.
