[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Owners, office managers and bookkeepers who run payroll for employees working in Nebraska, from the first hire to the year-end forms. Not the right fit if Your employees work outside Nebraska: get that state's kit, or the 2027 Employer Compliance Bundle for several states. Not a payroll service, and not a legal review of your policies. Why it is different - Built only from our Nebraska data files, checked November 2026 against 18 official pages, among them Nebraska Department of Labor; Nebraska DOL: Combined Tax Rates; Official page; Nebraska State Directory of New Hires: FAQs; Nebraska Department of Labor: Required Posters; Nebraska DOL: State of Nebraska minimum wage (updated 7/31/2026); Nebraska Attorney General: Opinion No. 26-003 (May 7, 2026); U.S. Department of Labor: State Minimum Wage Laws (updated November 5, 2026), plus NCSL (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read. - 2 items the official pages didn't state are left out of the checklist and put on a short look-up list with the page to check, never guessed. - The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and dates the Nebraska new-hire steps for you. What is inside - **Start here.** How to use the kit, the 17 confirmed Nebraska rules at a glance and the 2 items to confirm, each with the official page to check: quarterly wage reports and payments (Nebraska DOL: Combined Tax Rates); breaks for workers under 18 (Neb. Rev. Stat. 48-212). - **Nebraska 2027 checklist.** Eight steps from unemployment tax registration to year-end filing, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date, from Nebraska Department of Labor, Nebraska State Directory of New Hires, Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court. What it confirms: open a state unemployment tax account: Nebraska DOL's application for an unemployment insurance tax account says to register at NEworks; taxable wage base for 2027: Not announced yet when we checked in November 2026; taxable wage base for 2026 (the latest published): $9,000 per employee in 2026; new employer tax rate: 1.25% for a new employer; state income tax withholding: State income tax applies; report each new hire to the state: Within 20 days of the new employee's hire or re-hire date; e-Verify for private employers: No state law requires private employers in Nebraska to use E-Verify: NCSL's State E-Verify Action summary (secondary source, checked November 2026) lists Nebraska among the states that require it of most public employers, not among the nine that require it of all employers; minimum wage now (2026): $15.00 an hour; minimum wage change in 2027: Rises to $15.26 an hour on Friday, January 1, 2027; tipped employees: Cash wage of at least $2.13 an hour in 2027, with tips making up the rest; paid sick leave: Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act; meal breaks for adults: Assembling plants, workshops and mechanical establishments must allow at least 30 consecutive minutes for lunch in each 8-hour shift, and can't make employees stay on the premises; rest breaks for adults: no state rule; No state rest-break requirement: Nebraska 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; workers' compensation insurance: The Act covers every employer with one or more employees; most must carry insurance; final pay when you let someone go: On the next regular payday or within two weeks of termination, whichever is sooner; final pay when an employee quits: On the next regular payday or within two weeks of termination, whichever is sooner; state copies of W-2s and 1099s: Form W-3N covers 1099-R, 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC with Nebraska withholding; forms with Nebraska-source income and no Nebraska withholding may be included. - **2027 deadline calendar.** 7 dates our Nebraska files state: January 1, 2027: minimum wage rises to $15.26 an hour; 1 state W-2 and 1099 filing dates from Nebraska Department of Revenue, with weekend dates flagged and a month-by-month planner for your own. - **New hire and pay change checklist.** One page per hire, with the report to Nebraska State Directory of New Hires (new hires reported in 20 days) and the I-9 steps, and one per pay change against the $15.26 minimum wage from January 1. - **Nebraska compliance workbook (Excel).** The Nebraska dates in a deadline tracker with days left and status, a new-hire sheet that dates each step from the start date (new hires reported in 20 days), and a pay-change sheet that flags any rate below the 2027 floor.
