How Do Remote Workers Impact Unemployment Insurance?

Does your business or nonprofit organization have employees temporarily working from home due to COVID-19? 

How does a remote workforce impact your unemployment insurance?

Employers with employees temporarily working from home can generally continue to pay unemployment insurance based on where the work is normally performed rather than where the work is being performed during the pandemic.  If working remote becomes permanent for an employee, unemployment insurance should be paid to the resident state.  The bottom line is to remember to evalulate and adjust withholding and insurance as employees become permanently remote.
