Mississippi Employer Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Mississippi Employer Kit 2027, 2027 Payroll Rate Change, 2027 Payroll Tax Setup)

Who it is for

Owners and bookkeepers running payroll for employees in Mississippi, from 2027 rate changes to unemployment tax setup.

Not the right fit if

Your employees don't work in Mississippi, or a payroll provider already handles these filings for you. Not a payroll service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Mississippi kits are built only from our Mississippi data files: Mississippi data files, checked November 2026 against 17 official pages, among them Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES); MDES: Employer FAQs; Mississippi Department of Revenue: Form 89-350 (Rev. 08/20); Mississippi State Directory of New Hires: FAQs; Mississippi Department of Employment Security: Required posters; MDES E-Verify Program, Mississippi Department of Employment Security; Notice to All Public Contractors, Consultants, Subcontractors and Subconsultants, Mississippi Department of Transportation; HB 1271 (2025 Regular Session), as introduced (reprints Section 71-11-3), plus Justia (statute text) and Paycor and Insperity (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read.
• 2027 Payroll Rate Change Checklist and 2027 Payroll Tax Setup Checklist cover every state; the Mississippi kits carry the state rules.

What is inside

• Mississippi Employer Compliance Kit 2027. The 2027 employer rules for Mississippi in one package: $14,000 SUTA wage base; 1% new employer rate; new hires reported in 15 days; no statewide paid sick leave law. Eight steps from unemployment tax registration to year-end filing, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date, from Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES), Mississippi State Directory of New Hires, Mississippi Workers' Compensation Commission. What it confirms: open a state unemployment tax account: MDES: file the Status Report (Form UI-1) online; taxable wage base for 2027: $14,000 per employee in 2027 ($14,000 in 2026); new employer tax rate: 1% for a new employer; quarterly wage reports and payments: MDES: due by the last day of the month after each quarter (April 30, July 31, October 31, January 31); a weekend or holiday moves it to the next workday; state income tax withholding: State income tax applies; report each new hire to the state: Within 15 days of the new employee's hire date; e-Verify for private employers: Every employer must use E-Verify; minimum wage now (2026): No state minimum wage law, per US DOL; minimum wage change in 2027: No state rate; the federal $7.25 continues unless Congress changes it; tipped employees: Cash wage of at least $2.13 an hour in 2027, with tips making up the rest; paid sick leave: No statewide paid sick leave law for private employers; meal breaks for adults: No state meal-break requirement for adults: the US Department of Labor's state meal period table for adult employees (revised January 1, 2023; checked November 2026) doesn't list Mississippi, and Paycor's state chart (secondary source, updated November 2025) shows none; rest breaks for adults: no state rule; No state rest-break requirement: Mississippi isn't in the US DOL table of state paid rest-period rules (revised January 1, 2023), which says states not listed don't require paid rest periods; breaks for workers under 18: No separate meal-break rule for workers under 18: the US Department of Labor's state meal period table (revised January 1, 2023; checked November 2026) doesn't list Mississippi among the 35 jurisdictions with meal periods specifically for minors, so minors follow the adult rule; workers' compensation insurance: Employers with five or more regularly employed workers; final pay when you let someone go: Mississippi has no state final-pay deadline: Paycor's and Insperity's 50-state charts (secondary sources) both list "No law" for firings and resignations;
