Important Reminder for Employers
Multi-Factor Authentication is now required to access NCSUITS. MFA adds an extra layer of protection by confirming your identity using a one-time passcode sent to your registered email address each time you sign in. You don’t need to register separately for MFA or request the code; it will automatically be sent to the email listed in your NCSUITS User Profile when you log in.
- Make sure your email address is current so you can get your passcode. Click your username in the top right corner > Select User Profile, then click My Account Settings > Review or update your email if needed.
- PINs are still required if your account doesn’t have an admin user.

New Fields on Wage Report: Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Codes and Hours Worked
DES is now collecting employee SOC codes and hours worked when an employer/agent submits a quarterly wage report. SOC information can help education and workforce training programs better meet employers’ needs.
Use the SOC Lookup Tool to look up SOC codes using your employee’s job title, keyword, or the first letter of their job title. While filing your quarterly wage reports, please fill in the SOC code field on the far right of the report.
