Unemployment Insurance Reporting & Payments 

All Vermont employers who have to pay Unemployment Insurance (UI) on their employees MUST file a quarterly wage and contribution report. Vermont has a mandatory electronic filing requirement for all employers.

Employers reporting 0 to 250 employees:

• The electronic Vermont Internet Tax and Wage System (VITWS) can be accessed on the Employer Quarterly Reporting website by selecting Employers reporting 0 to 250 employees. 

• New employers will be mailed a temporary password. When the temporary password is received, log onto the Vermont Internet Tax and Wage System (VITWS) to create your own custom password for quarterly filing. Please retain your newly established password for safekeeping, as this will be your permanent password for all future filings. If you need to reset your password, you can click on the “Forgot Password” link or you can call the Employer Service Unit at (802) 828-4344.

Employers reporting more than 250 employees:
