  • Employee + Domestic Partner (coverage code 12)
  • Employee + NonQual Children DP (coverage code 13)
  • Family (with Domestic Partner) (coverage code 14)

The example below is for an employee enrolled in Uniform Classic medical plan and Uniform Dental.

When such an employee is setup for PrePay and will have a zero paycheck created, they need to be taxed at a higher rate.
