Wage Detail specifications for forms JFS 20127 and JFS 22128 
 
Reproduction and use of JFS 20127, Contribution Wage Detail and Quarterly Summary 
and JFS 20128, Reimbursing Wage Detail requires that the format, location and spacing 
must be exact.  Employers having more than 15 employees, therefore requiring more 
than one Wage Detail form, should use the same format for all additional pages.  
 
All fields are right justified except fields 11, Employee’s Social Security Number and 12, 
Employee’s Last Name, which are left justified.  Machine printed characters do not need 
to be spaced so that a single character is in a box by itself and may run together without 
spaces so long as the first character is placed in the first box respective to left or right 
justified.  For example: SMITH, rather than S  M  I  T  H, is acceptable so long as the 
letter “S” is placed in the first box using left justify. 
 
Do not use commas or dollar signs ($), but do include a decimal point between dollars 
and cents.  All dollar amounts must contain cents, including .00.  Do not include 
hyphens in the social security numbers. 
 
Barcode 
   1.  Must be a 3 of 9 barcode.  
   2.  Sizing:  Width of 2.275 inches, Height of the bars .375 inches (this height does 
   not include the text shown below the barcode).

   20128: F0042.  The text below the barcodes will be FOR 0034 or FOR 0042, 
   respectively.  
   4.  A minimum of .25 inch of white space on either end of the barcode and ideally 
   around all sides of the barcode although the space on the top and bottom of the 
   barcode is much less critical.

Any form makers producing these forms must obtain approval from ODJFS that their 
forms meet these specifications prior to their use. Form makers must submit 20 test 
samples of both Forms JFS 20127 and JFS 20128.  The test samples will be validated 
for accuracy, and then a letter of approval or denial will be sent to the form maker.  
Quarterly Summary reports must be submitted on the correct size paper; therefore, 
reports printed on a full page of paper must be cut to the specifications mentioned 
above.  If the correct format is not followed, future reports will be returned and forfeiture 
and interest penalties may be assessed if the reports are not resubmitted correctly prior 
to the due date.
