AAARGH! UI

System

We have to do wages earned report for UI as well as ee's on disability and with housing. I don't do payroll so whenever I get one I hand it over to the normally nice young lady who shelves it and completely ignores my warnings that there are deadlines on those reports. She becomes livid if I insist she finish them before the deadline. She is truly overworked so I sympathise but these have to be done! On top of that our old payroll company could not get a report together that we could produce at the touch of a button.
My two part question is: What are the penalties for consistently not producing this info for UI? I realise that we can't contest but I want cold, hard cash figures which is the only language the finance department speaks.
Also I can put together very close estimates using exact hours worked and rate of pay. I can't include deductions though so I'm wondering if that is important for tax reasons?

Are you OK Deez? From the sound of your subject, I thought you might need a Hiemlich! I'm afraid every covered employer in the nation has to produce similar reports, typically on a quarterly basis. Sounds as if your computer capability is the problem. It won't do you much good to procrastinate about this since your UI tax rate is based on it, which affects your bottom line. In this state, for those employers who do not produce the report timely and fail consistently to do so, the UI folks just assign the maximum UI tax rate to them and they're done with it. Can your finance people convert that to a dollar figure?
