This error indicates that the system requires the entry of a specific USC (Unemployment State Contribution) rate for an employee, which is necessary for calculating payroll taxes accurately.

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the payroll schema or the tax calculation settings that prevent the system from retrieving the correct USC rate.
