California Wage Plan Codes

Background

For California employees, you must select the Wage Plan Code that applies to each employee. The Wage Plan Code indicates the type of coverage an employee has and is related to your State Employer Account Number. The most common code used is “Covered under a state plan for both unemployment and disability insurance,” unless your company has been assigned another code.  For more information, see the following information sheets from the California EDD:

• California EDD Information Sheet – Reporting Wage Plan Codes
• California EDD Information Sheet – Taxability of Employee Benefits
