How To Submit a Wage Report in MyUI Emplolyer+ (for Employers)

Employers must report wages quarterly, if determined to be liable. You can report your wages in MyUI Employer+. Wage reports are required to be filed electronically — you will need to sign up for a MyUI Employer+ account and file online. If you have been filing wage reports by paper and would like to continue doing so, you will need to apply for a non-electronic communication waiver. 

Wage reports are due quarterly.

• April 30: Quarter 1 reports are due for wages paid in January, February, March.

• July 31: Quarter 2 reports are due for wages paid in April, May, June.

• October 31: Quarter 3 reports are due for wages paid in July, August, September.

• January 31: Quarter 4 reports are due for wages paid in October, November, December.
