In an attempt to reduce paperwork and ease filing requirements for households that solely employ household workers, this rulemaking would waive interest on their quarterly unemployment insurance contributions, as long as the contributions were paid in full by April 15 of the calendar year following the close of the quarters for which the contributions were due. It would also waive penalties with regard to the households' quarterly wage and contribution reports as long as they were filed by April of the calendar year following the close of the quarter for which they were due. Finally, it sets forth conditions for waiving penalties against those households with regard to wage and contribution reports filed after the April 15 due date. |
