Under Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Law, every individual or organization that pays covered wages in Minnesota must register with the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program. Registration should be done as soon as possible after first wages are paid for covered employment in Minnesota.

Registration must occur prior to the due date of the first quarterly wage detail report that the employer is required to submit. However, do not register until covered wages have actually been paid. Refer to the Employer Handbook for information about Who Needs to Register and How to Register.
