The purpose of this article is to provide information to Temporary Staffing Companies with EE's working in Alaska.  Employdrive is unable to administer these accounts on behalf of our clients due to state mandates.  

Unemployment

Temporary Staffing Companies are not eligible for an unemployment account as Alaskan law states that the employee must be reported under the entity who benefits from the work performed.  These taxes will be calculated by iSolved but will not be impounded. Temporary Staffing Agencies must report their employees in one of two ways: 

• Provide the employee wage detail and payment to your client for them to file and remit with their UI return. 
• Have the client complete a Power of Attorney form authorizing the Filing of UI reports and Payment of Contributions on the clients’ behalf.  A Supplemental Alaska Quarterly Form must then be completed for each client, each quarter, to report and remit wages.  This will append the clients reports with the additional wages as required under Alaskan Law.
