For Box C-Employer Name, make the name shorter, from the end. (This will not affect the tax calculations)  

Select Continue  

Note: Shorten the name from the end, as the tax authority will be matching the first characters against the Employer ID number.  Also, if you imported the entry originally, try deleting it and select to Enter it Myself.  If there was something on the import triggering the error message, that will work around the problem.
