Master / Worksite EIN Check - Code 182

The Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) should almost never be different for worksite records than the number listed for their master account. This edit specifically looks for such discrepancies and lists them on the warnings report. If an account is a worksite, has an associated master account, and possesses a different EIN than that master (even if the worksite’s EIN is zero), the account will be noted in the Warnings Report, with the message “Worksite EIN Differs from Master”. This warning message can also be considered a “gross” error, depending on the size of the family’s employment and/or wages. BLS classification: A.2.8 or B.2.9, based on family employment or wage size.
