I am an employer and have hired someone who lives in Missouri but will be working in Georgia. Do I pay the Georgia unemployment rates or Missouri unemployment rates. Where will he file for unemployment if this job ends? Does he file in Missouri or Georgia?

Hi Linda,

I am not an expert on unemployment tax .. it give me a headache and is usually the main attraction for employers to use the services of third parties.

But I might be able to direct you to some tax information for employers ..
