In addition to the above great information, the number of Unique Employee #'s run through the tax calculation process is where the count is incremented, whether you continue with updating that payroll check or not.   It is the total of all unique employee #'s for the month and is reset on the 1st day of a new month.  The active employees is really about estimating how many you will have in a month but turnover could result in having active employees on the payroll the first week of a month that are different unique employee #s than the following week in that month.
