Unemployment Insurance Reporting & Payments

Liable employers are required to electronically report their payroll and pay UI contributions each calendar quarter through the New York Business Express website.
This is true whether or not wages are subject to withholding of tax or payment of tax. Reporting forms must be filed even if the employer had no payroll in the quarter being reported.

Reports and payments are due at the end of the month following the end of the quarter:
