52-04-01. Payment of contributions by employer

1. Contributions accrue and become payable by each employer, for each calendar year

in which the employer is subject to the North Dakota unemployment compensation

law, with respect to wages for employment. Such contributions become due and must

be paid by each employer to the bureau for the fund in accordance with such

regulations as the bureau may prescribe, and may not be deducted in whole or in part,

from the wages of individuals in such employer's employ. In the payment of any

contributions, a fractional part of a cent must be disregarded unless it amounts to

one-half cent or more, in which case it must be increased to one cent.

2. Contributions due with respect to wages for insured work must be deemed to have

been paid to the fund as of the date payment was made as contributions therefor

under another state or federal employment security law, if payment into the fund of

such contributions is made on such terms as the bureau finds will be fair and

reasonable as to all affected interests.
