This test is unique to the Unemployment Compensation Program. Unless otherwise specifically excluded, payment for personal services is deemed subject to unemployment taxes unless the following conditions are met. All three conditions must be met.

The burden of proof rests upon the employer to demonstrate the existence of these conditions:. The service is either outside the usual course of the business for which the service is performed or that the service is performed outside of all the places of business of the enterprise for which the service is performed; and. The service is performed in the course of an independently established trade, occupation, profession or business in which the person is customarily engaged, of the same nature as that involved in the contract of service.
If the above conditions cannot be demonstrated, the person is an employee. If in doubt, contact the Contributions Section at for additional assistance. Alternative Base Period:. Nevada Revised Statute A standard base period for a benefit claim is defined as the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters. If a claimant is monetarily ineligible under a standard base period, the law allows wages paid in the most recently completed calendar quarter to be considered for determining entitlement.
Therefore, the most recently completed four calendar quarters will be used as the "alternate base period. Nevada employers may be asked to provide wage information for a specific former employee, for the most recently completed quarter, prior to the usual quarterly reporting due dates, if an alternate base period claim is filed. Note: Even if an employer supplies wage information "early" for an alternate base period, they must report that same information when they file and pay their quarterly unemployment insurance tax report.
If wage information is needed prior to the usual due date for the Employer's Quarterly Contribution and Wage Report, the employer will receive a request to provide the total amount of gross wages and any tips paid during the most recently completed quarter.
