• Key Concepts: 
  Federal unemployment insurance tax override is a feature in the SAP HCM-Payroll Processing component that allows employers to override the federal unemployment insurance tax rate for a specific employee. This override is used when an employee's wages exceed the taxable wage base for the year, and the employer wants to adjust the rate to avoid overpayment of taxes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use this feature, employers must first enter the employee's federal unemployment insurance tax rate in the payroll system. This rate can be found on the employee's W-2 form or on the state's website. Once the rate is entered, employers can then override it by entering a new rate in the payroll system. The new rate will be applied to all future payroll calculations for that employee. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that this override only applies to federal unemployment insurance taxes and not to other taxes such as state or local taxes. Additionally, employers should be aware that any changes made to an employee's federal unemployment insurance tax rate will need to be reported to the appropriate state agency.
