This article is about Justworks PEO. What product am I using?

Virginia is what's referred to as a PEO-reporting state for unemployment insurance. Justworks will report unemployment taxes under the Justworks unemployment account number. State unemployment charges will be invoiced by Justworks; your company’s SUI rate no longer applies in Virginia. Please suspend or close your previous unemployment account.
