UI and Paid Leave payments are due

Your first Paid Leave premium payment is due April 30, 2026, at the same time UI tax payments are due for taxpaying employers.

What you can expect:

If you report wage detail and then come back to make payments later: All users are routed first to the UI account summary page if there is a UI balance, even if you start from the Make a Paid Leave Payment link. You will be able to make a Paid Leave payment after your UI payment is complete.
If you report wage detail and make payments immediately: you will be routed first to the UI account summary page and then to the Paid Leave account summary page. If you have a $0 balance for UI, select the blue Make Paid Leave Payment button to proceed to the Paid Leave account summary page.
Your UI tax and Paid Leave Premium payments must be made separately. We cannot move payments from one program to another.
