What is the name of your state? NY
I am a full time employee of my S-corp. I work through my company as a contractor at various clients. I was laid off last year from my contract. Since my skills are legacy and outdated, there are less than 4 jobs for my skill in the whole country making it hard to find a job and so, I am learning new skills.
Last year, my company was approved for a PPP loan that spanned my work/salary across two quarters (1 week in May, whole of June and 1 week in July) and I was qualified for Unemployment Insurance.
This year, the PPP loan was approved a bit early in Jan which spanned my salary Jan-Mar. This will not qualify me for UI because the work is spanning just one quarter. However, two full/partial quarters of work will qualify (like 2 full/partial months work in one quarter and 1 full/partial month work in next quarter - spanning work across two quarters). Since I need to work across 2 quarters to qualify for Unemployment Insurance, can I pay myself salary through my company for a week or two during April to span my work/income across 2 quarters and qualify for UI? Of course, I'll be paying all the taxes on my salary for April.
Is paying salary for a week or two in April through my company as a full time employee without work to qualify for UI legal to do?
Thanks!
