Where do I change the marital status?


The marital status refers to a person's state of being single, married, separated, divorced, or widowed.

Marital status is important because: 
  1. It determines the employee's tax withholding method. The marital status field helps determine which tax tables to use, the withholding formula, and how the system interprets the employee's W-4 selections. 
  2. It impacts how deductions and taxable wages are calculated. While the marital status itself doesn't change benefits, it can influence Federal withholding amount, some state calculations (if your state uses marital status), and whether the system should apply the "higher withholding" options associated with certain W-4 statuses. 
  3. It ensures compliance with IRS requirements. 

 
Do this...
1. Open Connect Human Resources > Employees > Modify Existing Employees.

2. Use the Employee field to enter an employee name or number. Press Enter.

3. Click to select the Employee tab.

4. Find the field titled Marital Status on the Employee tab.

5. Use the Marital Status menu to select the employee's new marital status.

6. Click Save (CTRL+S).

The marital status is saved.
