No steps are required within the Joint Unemployment Insurance - Paid Leave Employer System to submit electronic payments using ACH Credit. To learn how to pay by ACH Credit, see Paying by Automated Clearing House (ACH) Credit

ACH debit:

The ACH debit method allows you to transfer funds by authorizing us (the state) to electronically debit your bank account for the amount you report on the Joint Unemployment Insurance – Paid Leave Employer System.
