Entravia Editorial
Reciprocity simplifies multi-state withholding for border-state workforces (e.g., NJ/PA, IL/IA, KY/IN). Employees typically must file a non-residency certificate with their employer.
Multi-state PEO clients should confirm that the PEO's payroll system correctly applies reciprocity rules; failure to do so creates over-withholding headaches and refund cycles.
