    Reporting Wage Detail

    To determine eligibility and benefit payments for Minnesotans when Paid Leave launches in January 2026, Minnesota employers will begin to report wage detail information for their employees starting October 31, 2024.

    Wage detail submission, and the collection of Unemployment Insurance (UI) taxes and Paid Leave premiums, will take place in the current UI system.

    Employers familiar with submitting UI Wage Detail Reports

    If you have been submitting UI Wage Detail Reports for:

    • All employees - you will see no change in the process with your Joint UI/Paid Leave account.
    • Only some employees – you will see no change in the process with your Joint UI/Paid Leave account. What did change is that you now have two accounts (your Joint UI/Paid Leave account, plus your new Paid-Leave-ONLY account) and will submit two Wage Detail Reports each quarter – one for employees covered by UI and one for employees covered by Paid Leave, but not UI.

    Employers new to submitting Wage Detail Reports

    The process to submit wage information for Paid Leave, using a Paid-Leave-ONLY account, is the same process employers use to submit wage information for UI, using a Joint UI/Paid Leave account.

    On a quarterly basis, you will submit a Wage Detail Report electronically for wages paid to your employees in the prior quarter.

    You will report the following data for each employee by reporting unit: Employee name, Social Security number, Gross wages, and Paid hours worked.
