Submit quarterly wage detail reports

The process to submit quarterly wage detail reports varies slightly depending on the type of employees you have. For details on how requirements vary by employer account type, refer to the Coverage differences between UI and Paid Leave section below.

  • If ALL your employees are covered by both UI and Paid Leave: you will provide a single wage detail submission using your Joint UI - Paid Leave employer account. Most employers in Minnesota will use this option. 
  • If SOME of your employees are covered by both UI and Paid Leave, but some employees are covered ONLY by Paid Leave: you will provide two wage detail submissions - one using your Joint UI - Paid Leave employer account, the other using your Paid-Leave-ONLY employer account. 
  • If your employees are ONLY covered ONLY by Paid Leave, not by UI: you will provide a single wage detail submission using your Paid-Leave-ONLY employer account.

⁠Coverage differences between UI and Paid Leave

The coverage differences between Paid Leave and UI are described on the pages linked below. 

Note: If your employees do not fall under any of the specific categories listed below, that means their wages are covered by both programs and should be reported using your Joint UI/Paid Leave account.
