Employers must file a report for the wages paid to all employees each calendar quarter. This report is essential for accurate tax calculations and benefit administration, and is required to avoid penalties.
OESC helps build a robust and thriving business community for employers of all kinds. The agency aims to clearly explain the requirements and obligations of businesses to the State of Oklahoma, as well as provide various no-cost services to help employers find workers, save money and protect their interests.
Paying Unemployment Tax
Most Oklahoma employers are required to pay a tax to the Oklahoma UI Trust Fund. This fund issues temporary income or benefits to eligible claimants who become totally or partially unemployed. These contributions ensure a safety net for workers, fostering economic stability and offering peace of mind during challenging times.
Employer Support Services
OESC offers a variety of services at no charge to help employers take advantage of hiring and tax incentives, recruit and retain skilled workers, find and screen job candidates and even provide space to conduct hiring events, interviews and orientations for new employees.
