Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Employer Handbook

The Minnesota Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program produced this handbook to help employers comply with Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Law and to promote understanding of the program.

This handbook is based on current UI legislation; statements are intended for general information and do not have the effect of law. This handbook is not designed to cover all phases of the law or to answer all questions; it is designed as an overview. The Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Law - MN Statutes 268.001 to 268.23 and Administrative Rules 3310 and 3315 - can be accessed through our Web site at www.uimn.org by clicking on the UI Law link.

For detailed information on any of the processes discussed in this handbook refer to the Employer Self-Service System User Guide available on the Employer Information page at www.uimn.org/tax
