GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Filing Reports - The Employer’s Contribution and Wage Report, IDES Form UI-3/40, must be filed
quarterly by each employer subject to the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act.
The original report must be filed, and the contribution payment made,
no later than the last day of the month following the end of the quarter;
April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Reports and remittances
personally delivered or postmarked after that date will be subject to
penalty and/or interest.
An employer who paid no wages during a quarter, but has not
permanently ceased being an employer, must file a report showing
“No Wages Paid This Quarter”. An employer contesting liability for
the payment of contributions should write “Liability Protested” and give
the reason on the report after completing all items and signing the report.
Nonprofit organizations and local government entities which elected to make payments in lieu
of contributions must file the contribution and wage report (UI-3/40) quarterly even though
contributions are not required.

should be corrected even if the contribution for the quarter remains unchanged.

wages for a quarter. Please note on the report whether it is a
Supplemental or Amended Report.
