The employee deduction for the Washington State Labor & Industries Rate is unique, because the employee contribution is calculated as a rate per hour. The TKT Payroll 3rd Miscellaneous Deduction should be used for deductions that are calculated by a rate times total hours worked ( i.e. Labor and Industries Rate). The deduction can be switched to calculate times hours by selecting "Utilities" on the main menu bar. Click "Review Installed Settings" and change the 3rd Deduction Title in the lower left corner to "L & I". Check the yellow box below the 3rd Deduction Title. Click the "Save Changes" button.

Under state law, one half of both the medical aid rate and supplemental pension assessment may be paid by employee contribution. Each pay period, the withholding amount is calculated by multiplying the payroll deduction rate (found on your Industrial Insurance Rate Notice) times the actual number of hours each employee works. When you setup each new Employee Record, the employee's payroll deduction rate should be entered in the box to the right of the "Deduction for L & I".
