Bill > SB01455

This bill modifies the reporting requirements for employers under the state's unemployment compensation laws. Specifically, it eliminates a previously planned provision that would have required employers to include additional employee data (such as occupation, hours worked, and primary worksite zip code) in their quarterly wage reports starting in the third quarter of 2026. The bill maintains the existing requirement for employers to submit quarterly wage information, including employee names, Social Security numbers, and wage amounts. Employers are still required to submit this information electronically, with the option to request a waiver from the administrator if they can demonstrate undue hardship. The late filing fees remain unchanged, with a $25 penalty for failing to submit reports in a timely manner or under a proper registration number. The bill ensures that these fees continue to be deposited into the Employment Security Administration Fund. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and are designed to reduce administrative burden on businesses by removing the additional employee data reporting requirement.
