REGISTERING FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

New employers in the state of Wyoming will need to register with the Wyoming Department of Workforce Servicesto obtain their UI Account Number. 

TIP:

Future-date registration is possible for this state's unemployment insurance! 

Once registered, you will receive an Unemployment Account Number (UI) and Unemployment Rate (%) which you will need to enter into Namely Payroll under Company > Tax screen (UI tax). 

If you've run payroll in Wyoming previously, you can find your UI Account Number on the Tax Rate Notice or Quarterly UI/WC Summary Report (Form WYO056) received from the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services. 

CONTACT

If you're unable to locate the Agency documentation, you can contact the agency at (307) 235-3217.

Additionally, there is a Coverage Type field that will appear on the General tab of the Payroll profile of any employee subject to WY UI tax.



This field will default to U to indicate that the employee is only covered by unemployment insurance.

• Please note: While we’ve built in functionality to allow administrators to indicate that an employee is also covered by worker’s compensation in the future, Namely does not currently collect or remit worker’s compensation. As such, please keep this field set to its current default value of U.
