2	Question	Answer
3	When filing quarterly unemployment wage reports on Colorado website and using the previous quarter report for names and ssn; how are those names arranged? It appears to be random. Is there a way to organize the names alphabetically?	Wage records copied from the previous quarter are sorted numerically by SSN. At this time, data cannot be sorted alphabetically. The Division is exploring options to expand data sorting functionality in a future release.
4	Is there a way to give us more time to answer claims? 48 hours is not enough time. Are we punished as an organization if we are not able to answer the responses, and if we know we will not win UI claim what is the point?	By law, employers have seven (7) days to respond to the Division’s initial request (RECES 7.4.2). If the Division does not receive a response after the initial time frame, subsequent requests will be made via email and phone calls. Employers have two (2) days to respond to additional requests before a decision on the claim is made with the available information provided by the claimant. Visit the Responding to UI Claims page for more information.
5	Is there a calendar that I can download that shows all of the dates that various taxes and fees are due?	The wage reporting and premium payment deadlines for the FAMLI and UI Division follow the same schedule: the quarterly deadlines fall on the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. If the due date of premiums falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, payment will be considered timely if postmarked or received electronically on the next business day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday: Q1: April 30 Q2: July 31 Q3: October 31 Q4: January 31 For future reference: those dates are published here for UI and here for FAMLI.
6	Can we please request that total hours used for FAMLI are shared with us as employers?	We do provide information on leave utilized when an individual is taking intermittent or reduced schedule leave. There are currently improvements to our HR dashboard that will make this information more readily accessible.
7	Re: FAMLI rules and regs, does this apply for ERs with 10+ EEs within the state of CO, or 10+ EEs overall (including other states)?	It's total employees nationwide.
8	RE UNEMPLOYMENT: Do sole proprietors and single member entites, whose only employees are the owners, need to have UI?	They do not.
9	Will we receive copies of the slides? and will we be able to access a recording of the webinar?	Yup! The slides and a recording will be sent out to all who registered. We’ll also be publishing them on our website later today.
10	As an employer when reporting wages, is it every employee who makes more than $1500.00 in a quarter?	You are liable as an employer if you have paid wages of $1,500 or more in a calendar quarter or have employed at least one person for a day in each of 20 different weeks during the current or preceding calendar year. Number of employees does not matter.
11	For UI- having a 48 hour turnaround on information is not enough time for employers. Can this be changed?	By law, employers have seven (7) days to respond to the Division’s initial request (RECES 7.4.2). If the Division does not receive a response after the initial time frame, subsequent requests will be made via email and phone calls. Employers have two (2) days to respond to additional requests before a decision on the claim is made with the available information provided by the claimant. Visit the Responding to UI Claims page for more information.
12	Can you address the disparity between Colorado FAMLI -job protection and Unemployment. Example - the employer follows the 12 week/480 hours of job protected leave, then when jobs are no longer protected and we need to replace the hours and administratively discharge based on the employee not being able to work- Why does unemployment give benefits to them? Now they get another 6 months of time off. We follow the laws regarding jobs, etc but now we are having to pay again.	live answered
13	Are 457(f) plans subject to UI?	Yes, a 457(f) plan is subject to unemployment insurance (UI) tax, as well as other employment taxes like FICA (Social Security and Medicare), when the deferred compensation becomes vested, or no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. At this point, the value of the compensation is considered currently taxable income for the employee
14	Victoria, but it is each emplyees wage correct?	The $1500 qualification to be liable is just overall for all covered employees. For each employee, you are then required to pay premiums up to the chargeable wage amount for the year.

17	Do I only need to report $1500.00 per quarter?	No, the $1500 is just what makes you liable as an employer. After you have been determined liable, you are required to pay premiums on all covered employees up to the chargeable wage amount for the year.
18	Do I only need to report $1500.00 per quarter?	This site on our page has more information on it: https://cdle.colorado.gov/employers/unemployment-insurance-premiums

25	can you give more information on how we should handle CO FAMLI payments as it relates to the new federal requirement that they be reported for federal taxability purposes?	live answered
26	Where on our FAMLI account are we supposed to upload the tax transcripts and W2s for 204, and, does the 941 filed by our third-party payroll company suffice for the tax transcripts?	Self-employed individuals were assigned a task in the My FAMLI+ Employer portal and are able to upload documents via the task.
27	So maybe since my husband, while he is tecnhically self-employed, has an S-Corp, we don't have to do this? I don't see it in our tasks	If you opted-in to FAMLI coverage and have a self-employed individual account you would have the task assigned. If your only participation in FAMLI is as an employer and you did not opt-in to coverage as an individual with a separate FAMLI account, you are not required to submit a tax transcript or W2.
