Responsibilities of a Subject Employer

Employers must register with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) within 10 days of becoming subject to the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act (TUCA). Employers can register online for a new unemployment tax account at Unemployment Tax Registration. The free registration service is quick and easy. When you register online, you will receive a TWC tax account number and confirmation of your registration. You can use the same TWC Internet User ID in the Unemployment Tax Services system, which allows employers to view tax account information, submit quarterly wage reports, and pay unemployment tax.

Employers subject to state unemployment tax are required to display a printed poster at each worksite. This poster is provided by TWC and provides general information about filing a claim for unemployment benefits, Texas Payday Law requirements, and a schedule of the employer's paydays. You can request posters using Unemployment Tax Services .

Additional posters are available, free of charge, by faxing your request to (512) 936-3205. You must be an active employer to obtain the poster. When faxing your request, please provide:

• Your TWC tax account number
• Address for mailing posters
• Number of posters you want printed in English
• Number of posters you want printed in Spanish (Spanish is not a requirement)

You can also order posters by calling (512) 463-2747 or any TWC local tax office.

If your business is not liable under the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act, but as a Texas employer you are subject to the Texas Payday Law, you should request the Payday Law Poster at 1-800-832-9243 or (512) 475-2670 or click on the linked title below.
