How to register:
Employer Account Number
The easiest method to obtain an Employer Account Number is by registering online with the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. After successful registration, you will be issued your eight-digit (XXXXXXXX) Employer Account Number along with your Employer Unemployment Insurance (UI) Contribution Rate.
Employer UI Rate
This information will be provided to you when you are issued your Employer Account Number through online registration.
How to locate these numbers if you’re already registered:
- If you've previously filed state payroll tax returns, your Employer Account Number can be located on any Quarterly Contribution Report you've submitted. The format is an eight-digit number (XXXXXXXX). If your number is 5 or 6 digits, please add leading zeros (0s) to the front.
- For new employers, check the UI Contribution Rate Notice received after completing online registration. If you've informed Payroll about your new employer status, the rate will be pre-populated.
- Existing employers can locate their UI rate on the quarterly Contribution Rate Notice sent by the Alaska Department of Labor.
- For any assistance, please contact the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development at (888)448-3527.
