About Employer Account Management Services (EAMS)
Three important messages to all employers and third-party administrators
1. You must upgrade to our new version of EAMS before you file your fourth-quarter tax report.

We are gradually making this upgrade available to all customers in time to file fourth-quarter reports. The updated EAMS is designed to perform better and improve your experience.
