What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

I have just hired my first employee (part-time, as-needed, occasional) and am trying to fill in the blanks in my new payroll software.

Can someone tell me or point me to a chart that tells me all the withholding I need to enter for employee, employer, federal and State of California? My software auto-entered some, but not all. I am piecing it together from various sources, but I cannot find a complete all-in-one list. Here’s what I got so far:

Employee
Fed WH ………… (Internal, calculated by the software)
Soc Sec …………... 4.2% (with 106800 limit)
Medicare ………… 1.45%
State WH ……….. (Internal, calculated by the software)
State (CA) SDI …. 1.2% (With limit of 93316)

The above was auto filled in by the software after entering my state and the number of allowances. Am I missing anything?

Employer
FUI ………. 0.8 % (with 7000 limit)
SUI ………. 3.4 % (I figured because I’m new)
Soc Sec …... 6.2 % (with 106800 limit)
Medicar ….. 1.45 % (with 7000 limit)
ETT ……… 0.1 % (with 7000 limit)

Except for the FUI, I had to find out all the above myself. State of CA info documents helped a lot, but I'm not sure I'm reading them correctly. Am I missing anything else here?

Thanks!
