What you pay unemployment taxes on

You pay unemployment taxes on your employees’ gross wages up to the taxable wage base. Wages include:

  2. When paid, vacation or holidays, earnings are reportable.
  3. Tips reported by the employee.
  4. Bonuses or prizes.
  5. Non-cash payments, such as meals and lodging.
  6. Sick leave under a nonqualified plan per RCW 50.04.330 and WAC 192-310-040(2).

Wages do not include jury-duty pay, death benefits or sick leave under a qualified plan.
