How to File Premium and Wage Reports via Bulletin Board System

This process is a method of transmitting an employer's wage and premium data to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development via modem. In addition, the employer has the option to use ACH Credit to transfer the funds instead of writing a paper check.

BENEFITS OF DATA TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER

    • No dependency on the mail
    • Paperless process
    • Less people dependency
    • Less chance of errors occurring
    • Reduce check reconciliation problems
    • Better cash management control with ACH transfer

START-UP PROCEDURES

The employer should contact the Department of Labor and Workforce Development at (615) 741-2346 to obtain a phone number and password necessary to access the department's computer. Test data will be transmitted to us for verification of the correct data format. After the test data has been validated, the employer must sign an "Electronic Filing Agreement" prior to transmitting production data.

The data MUST be transmitted using the required Bulletin Board System Filing specifications.
