Yes, small businesses are generally required to pay unemployment tax if they meet certain criteria, such as having a specific number of employees or reaching a certain payroll threshold. The unemployment tax helps fund state unemployment insurance programs, which provide benefits to workers who lose their jobs. However, requirements can vary by state, so it's important for small business owners to check local regulations for specific obligations.

Can you get unemployment if you worked for a nonprofit organization in Ohio?

Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment to the state. If they choose not to pay unemployment then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment costs to the state then the employee can collect unemployment benefits. Nonreligious organizations do have to pay unemployment, but they can pay the state one of two ways.
