Account types / coverage differences

Joint UI/Paid Leave account vs. Paid Leave-ONLY account

Depending on the type of employees you have, there are two different kinds of accounts within the Joint Unemployment Insurance -Paid Leave employer system:

Joint UI/Paid Leave account – used by employers with employees who meet employment coverage criteria for both programs.
Paid Leave-ONLY account – assigned to employers with employees who ONLY meet employment coverage criteria for Paid Leave.

The type of employer account(s) you need depends on the kinds of employees you have.
