Agency Payments: Quarterly New Jersey Unemployment (SUI) and Family Leave (FLI)

The following will illustrate the recommended payment amount to the State of New Jersey for Unemployment (SUI) and Family Leave (FLI) when the NJ-927 is submitted.  In addition, we will highlight any recommended reports and/or tabs that the District can utilize to review the data.  

This payment is not recommended to me made until the Quarterly NJ-927 report is completed and submitted to the State of New Jersey.  When the report is submitted, most districts will make their required quarterly payment for unemployment (SUI) and family leave (FLI) deductions.  

The quarterly payment that will be submitted with the 927 will be:

• $11,849.80 - Unemployment (SUI)
• $31,490.62 - Family Leave (FLI)
• $43,340.42 - Total payment to the State of NJ for the quarter.  

On the Payroll  >>  Agency  >>  Create Payments tab, select the State of New Jersey (FLI / SUI) and click on the Create payments button.  Enter the date that the NJ-927 was submitted to the State of new Jersey and click on Create Payment.  

Next, click on the Change Amount button to enter the amount of the wire transfer to the State of Nj for SUI and FLI.  This WILL BE different than the recommended amount.  

Enter the amount of the transfer that was made to the State of New Jersey when the 927 was submitted for SUI and FLI and click on Change Amount

Select the payment and Mark the Payment, Paid

Next, you will click on the "three dots" to allocate the payment to the SUI and the FLI deduction

In the Override Amount column, enter the EXACT amounts for each deduction that the District included on the NJ-927.  The total of the SUI and FLI amounts MUST match the total amount paid.  Click on the Save button.  

Remitting the remaining SUI to the Unemployment Bank Account

Most Districts transfer the unremitted unemployment (SUI) deductions for the quarter to their Unemployment bank account for payment of future unemployment obligations.  If your district follows this procedure, you would first make the bank transfer from Payroll Agency to the Unemployment Account in the amount of $28,440.46.  This amount is the difference from the total deductions withheld for the uarter ($40,290.26) and the amount remitted to the State of NJ with the 927 submission ($11,849.80).  

To record this in the Payroll Agency account, navigate to the Payroll  >>  Agency  >>  Create Payments tab and click on the Manual Check button.  

Enter a Note (optional), select the proper Agency Vendor, enter the amount of the bank transfer from Payroll Agency to Unemployment bank account in the SUI row and Create the Manual Agency Check.  Remember, to mark the Manual check paid and to create the PO, as you would with every other payroll agency payment.
