Terminating an employer account

Reference: Minnesota Law, §268.042 Subd.1 (d)

Within 30 calendar days of the termination of a business, the employer must notify the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program electronically using the Joint Unemployment Insurance - Paid Leave Employer System.

Note: Requirements for submitting quarterly wage detail reports depend on your account type.

  • If you have a Joint UI/Paid Leave account, you must submit quarterly wage detail reports through the end of the calendar quarter your account is terminated. 
  • If you have a Paid Leave-ONLY account, you do not need to submit quarterly wage detail reports or terminate your account.

Refer to Terminate an Employer Account in the Employer Self-Service System User Guide for step-by-step instructions.

This handbook is based on current UI and Paid Leave law; statements are intended for general information and do not have the effect of law.
