Zero Payroll Reporting Telephone System

Employers who do not pay wages during a quarter can now file their quarterly contribution/wage report by calling (608) 261-4571. This eliminates the need to send a paper report.

You can only use this filing method if you paid no wages during a quarter.

The phone system will prompt you for your UI account number and ask you to indicate the quarter and year you are reporting. Quarterly zero payroll reports for the current and past two years can be filed using this phone system.

When filing a zero report, you can also file an out-of-business report if applicable.

After selecting the out-of-business option, the system states "Your account will be set to an inactive status as of the first day of the most recent quarter reported", and all necessary transactions are processed to inactivate your account.

This also eliminates the need to send a paper notification of your out-of-business status.
