Premium reporting. How often will I
need to report and pay premiums? Most employers will report
and pay premiums once every three months. We refer to these
three-month periods as quarters. For example, the months of
January, February, and March represent the first quarter of a
calendar year. In some cases employers report at more
frequent intervals.
Example: Reforestation contractors report on a contract
basis for any project over ten thousand dollars. Since
contracts may last only a few days, reforestation contractors
may file reports daily, weekly, and monthly.
If you do not have employees during a quarter, you must
return your premium report by the due date and indicate "no
payroll" or "no employees" across the face of the report. If
you do not submit reports when required, we will estimate
premiums and initiate legal action against you to collect
premiums due.
