Your guide to Nevada unemployment from the employer side. Nevada employers pay unemployment insurance (UI) tax, file quarterly wage reports and respond when a former employee files a claim. Here is what you need to know, and how NAE can help you manage claims and your tax rate.
Looking to file a claim as an employee? Go to the state’s claimant site at ui.nv.gov.
NAE responds to claims, attends hearings and reviews charges to your account so you don’t miss deadlines.
Get help with a specific claim, fact-finding questionnaire or appeal.
Nevada’s Employment Security Division (ESD), part of DETR, runs the state’s unemployment insurance program. Benefits are funded entirely by employers; nothing is deducted from employee pay.
Rates and the wage base change every year. Always confirm current figures with ESD.
