We recently applied an update to your UKG Pro^® solution to include a dual unemployment wage base option for the Michigan State Unemployment Insurance - Employer (MISUIER) tax code, per the Michigan Employment Security Act. By default, the $9,500 delinquent wage base option was flagged for all employers who had this flag on from prior years. This dual wage base option only applies to employers who received agency notice indicating delinquent SUI payments or a balance and requiring they use the $9,500 delinquent wage base limit.

Action may be required! To ensure accurate identification and flagging, an update will be applied on March 12, to remove the flag for all employees subject to MISUIER. Please take the following steps according to your wage base requirements:

• If you require the $9,500 delinquent wage base to be flagged, take the following action on March 12 after the update has been applied:
  1. Utilize the Tax Setup (Company) business rule to select your wage base (under Menu > System Configuration > Business Rules > Business Rules > Tax Setup (Company) select a Component Company, MISUIER, and select “Yes” for the "$9,500 delinquent wage base” option).
  2. Run a payroll for an employee subject to MISUIER and verify that $9,500 in taxable wages is calculated on the Tax Liability Grand Total report. Please note the report may show your employees have already reached the limit.
• If you are current on your MISUI payments and balances and qualify for the default wage base limit of $9,000, utilize the Payroll Reconciliation tool to correct MISUIER payroll history before the end of the quarter on April 1.

Note: You do not need to reconcile if MISUI has been flagged correctly.
