Are electronic payments mandatory?
Yes, payments are required to be
made electronically, if the quarterly tax due is $10,000 or
more. This also applies to authorized agents and submitters who
file for multiple employers. If the total aggregate amount of
contributions is $10,000 or more, Nevada law requires the
payment to be made electronically.
You have two options for electronic payment, ACH debit or ACH
credit.
ACH Debit:
Payment by ACH debit can be made online through a secure Internet
application. There is no cost to the employer.
A
special feature of the ACH debit method is the ability to
"warehouse" a payment, which means an employer (or an authorized
agent) can enter the payment information when convenient and then
set a "settlement" date up to 30 days in the future. Up until the
settlement date (before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time), inquiries can be
made, as well as changes, and even cancellations. The funds will
not be transferred until the designated date.
Timing of an ACH debit transaction coincides with the division's
regular business hours (unless you are "warehousing" the payment) of
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Any
transaction made outside of those business hours or on a state
holiday or weekend, will not be processed until the next regular
business day.

services they offer and the associated cost. The employer is
responsible for all costs charged by the financial institution.
