Reporting wages – UI vs. Paid Leave
Reporting wages paid to domestic workers
There are certain situations in which domestic workers are covered by Paid Leave, but not UI.
- If you have employees who are covered by UI and Paid Leave, report them using your Joint UI/Paid Leave account.
- If you have employees who are covered only by Paid Leave, report them using your Paid Leave-ONLY account.
