Within the Time Management Infotypes under Different payment you can choose to override an employee's work tax area (defined on Infotype 0208) when entering data for work schedule changes. If an employee spends a period of time away from his or her primary worksite, then you can override the primary work tax area with the appropriate offsite work tax area for the current period. This ensures that funds are withheld for the appropriate tax authorities when payroll is run.

John Smith, an employee of ACME Bookbinding in Newark, New Jersey, is sent on a two-day assignment to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. As a result, John must pay Pennsylvania state taxes on funds earned during this period. When entering the details of John's business trip on Infotype 2002, the administrator provides the relevant work tax area for Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When ACME runs its weekly payroll, the system uses the work tax areas provided on Infotypes 2002 and 0208 to prorate the withholding so that the appropriate taxes are withheld for New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
