How to File a Wage Report

(Manual Entry, Abbreviated ICESA, or 58-Character Text File)

  1. In e-Services go to the Summary tab and click the File a Wage Report link or click the View Wage Reports link followed by the File Now link.
  2. If completing the report manually, enter the SSN, Employer Name, and Wage information into the wage table.  If using an abbreviated ICESA or 58-character text file, upload the file to autocomplete the wage table.
  3. Once complete, review the data on the summary page to ensure all entries are correct. Once verified, confirm your submission by entering a digital signature. The system will then generate a confirmation of submission and process the report immediately.
NOTE: All uploaded files will be validated by the system upon upload. If the system detects errors, it will reject the file. Correct all outstanding errors and reupload the file. Once no errors are detected, the system will accept the file. Warning may also display pointing to data that may be reviewed and corrected, but these may be submitted without any action. This process expedites overall processing time of the report.

 

How to Amend a Wage Report

  1. In e-Services, click the View Wage Reports link and select the quarter to amend. 
  2. Click the View or Amend Return link and follow the same steps as filing a wage report (see above). 
  3. Select the reason for amending the wage report.
    • If you are adding wages or an employee that wasn’t on the original report, you will select a reason and give a brief explanation and then you can submit and receive confirmation.
    • If you are decreasing wages or removing an employee, you will select a reason, give a brief explanation, and provide documentation as proof. 
  4. Click Submit.  The system will generate a confirmation of submission.
NOTE: If amendment added wages only, the wage report will update accordingly.  If amendment has any decreasing wages, it goes to staff for approval and the wage report will not be updated until approved.
