Pay Premiums and Report Wages

Premiums are contributions paid by Colorado employers to help protect the economy. Each year, we determine premium rates for employers based on a number of factors, including the amount of money already paid and unemployment benefit payments made to former employees.

Your premium and wage reports are due quarterly.

• April 30: Quarter 1 reports are due for wages paid in January, February, March.
• July 31: Quarter 2 reports are due for wages paid in April, May, June.
• October 31: Quarter 3 reports are due for wages paid in July, August, September.
• January 31: Quarter 4 reports are due for wages paid in October, November, December.

You can report your wages in MyUI Employer+. If you are still filing wage reports by paper, you will need to sign up for a MyUI Employer+ account and file online.

File your wage reports, pay premiums, view your account status, balances and rates, and contact customer service through MyUI Employer+.
