A filled-in Form DOL-3C example: an employer adds an omitted worker

Form DOL-3C example filled out, example: an employer adds an omitted worker
An employer files Form DOL-3C to add one omitted worker. The employer's second quarter 2026 report omitted a worker who earned 4,200.00 in taxable wages. The picture shows the filled form, and none of its entries is real. The contribution rate is 2.4 percent and the administrative assessment rate is 0.3 percent. The original report showed 52,000.00 in gross wages and 40,000.00 in taxable wages. Interest runs for one month and the form is dated 08/10/2026. Line 2 stays empty because the worker's pay is all taxable, and nothing goes in the Decrease column because no wage went down.
