Required accounts

Employer account

You will complete most employer functions for Paid Leave using the Joint Unemployment Insurance – Paid Leave employer system. This includes registering for an account, submitting wage detail reports, and paying taxes/premiums.

If you don’t have an employer account, or if you have employees who are not covered by UI but are covered Paid Leave, you may need to register for a new employer account.

Refer to our:

• Account types - coverage differences page for more information on different employer account types. The account type you need depends on the type of employees you have. 
• Information to register page for the information you will need to provide during the registration process.  
• Opt in for Paid Leave coverage page to learn about eligibility requirements and the process to elect coverage.
• Joint Unemployment Insurance - Paid Leave Employer System informational page to discover all that you can do within your employer account, when it is available, how to assign agent access, and how to complete tasks with help from our Employer User Guide.

Paid Leave Administrator account

After registering for an employer account in the Joint UI – Paid Leave employer system, you should designate one or more Paid Leave Administrator(s). These individuals will be granted access to the Paid Leave Administrator website at https://paidleave.mn.gov/.

Use the Paid Leave Administrator website to:

• View and respond to Paid Leave benefit applications submitted by your employees. 
• View and respond to eligibility determinations issued by the Paid Leave program. 
• Coordinate Paid Leave benefits with other benefits you offer. 
• Request an equivalent plan substitution request.
