UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
Unemployment Insurance (UI) is a program designed to provide temporary financial assistance to workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own and who meet the requirements of the Louisiana Employment Security Law. UI benefits are paid as a matter of past employment and legal entitlement and are not based on need. In Louisiana, employers pay all of the costs of UI through a payroll tax or reimbursable program. Employees do not pay any part of their wages to finance the UI program.
Every employing unit operating in Louisiana is required to complete and submit an Employer Application for LA Unemployment Account, (Status Report), LWC-ES1web (PDF) for an official determination of liability or non-liability of its operations under the Louisiana Employment Security Law.
Unemployment Taxes are due no later than the last day of the month immediately following the end of each quarter. Late taxes are assessed an additional penalty and interest.
Example: For quarter ending March 31, taxes are due no later than April 30
