New system will give employers more access to unemployment records

The State Unemployment Insurance Tax System (SUITS) will be the S.C. Department of Employment and Work Force's (DEW) new online system designed to help employers file unemployment insurance wage reports and pay unemployment taxes. The previous tax system is considered antiquated and hard to maintain. SUITS will provide employers with immediate account accessibility and streamlined business processing.
Employers will be able to submit the reports using manual entry, copy from a previous quarter, or employers can upload an electronic file containing the wage information. The system will include the necessary functions for employers to submit and review information related to tax and wage reporting, including:
  • View and maintain account tax and wage information
  • View history of wage and tax report submissions for your account
  • Submit quarterly wage reports, including uploading data in standard data format (ICESA, EFW2, XML and CSV) (see the specification file here for uploading these formats)
  • Amend quarterly wage reports
More information about SUITS will be available soon.
