Wyoming Employer Compliance Kit 2027: State Checklist, Deadline Calendar and Excel Tracker

Who it is for

Owners, office managers and bookkeepers who run payroll for employees working in Wyoming, a state with no income tax to withhold, from the first hire to the year-end forms.

Not the right fit if

Your employees work outside Wyoming: 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 Wyoming data files, checked November 2026 against 14 official pages, among them Wyoming DWS: Unemployment Tax Rates; Wyoming Business Council: Business Resources; IRS Publication 1220 (Rev. 5-2026), Part A Sec. 12, Table 1: Participating States and Codes; Wyoming New Hire Reporting Center: Instructions; Wyoming Department of Workforce Services: Labor Law Posters; U.S. Department of Labor: State Minimum Wage Laws (updated November 5, 2026); U.S. Department of Labor: Minimum Wages for Tipped Employees (revised July 1, 2026); U.S. Department of Labor, Women's Bureau: State Paid Sick Leave Laws (map, as of September 2024), 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 Wyoming new-hire steps for you.

What is inside

• Start here. How to use the kit, the 17 confirmed Wyoming rules at a glance and the 2 items to confirm, each with the official page to check: open a state unemployment tax account (Wyoming Department of Workforce Services); taxable wage base for 2027 (Wyoming DWS: Unemployment Tax Rates).
• Wyoming 2027 checklist. Eight steps from unemployment tax registration to year-end filing, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date, from Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Wyoming New Hire Reporting Center, Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Labor Standards. What it confirms: taxable wage base for 2026 (the latest published): $33,800 per employee in 2026; new employer tax rate: No single rate: it depends on your industry; quarterly wage reports and payments: Wyoming DWS: due April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31 (delinquent the next day); dates can move when the due date is a weekend or holiday; state income tax withholding: No state income tax to withhold; report each new hire to the state: Within 20 days after an employee is hired, re-hired or returns to work; e-Verify for private employers: No state law requires private employers in Wyoming to use E-Verify: NCSL's State E-Verify Action summary (secondary source, checked November 2026) doesn't list Wyoming among the 22 states that require E-Verify of any employer; minimum wage now (2026): $7.25 an hour; minimum wage change in 2027: $7.25 an hour; no scheduled change in our data; 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 rule; Wyoming law doesn't require meal breaks; rest breaks for adults: no state rule; Wyoming law doesn't require rest breaks; 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 Wyoming among the 35 jurisdictions with meal periods specifically for minors, so minors follow the adult rule; workers' compensation insurance: Required for employers in the industries the state classes as extra-hazardous (by NAICS code), before work begins, through the Department of Workforce Services; final pay when you let someone go: By the next regular payday; final pay when an employee quits: By the next regular payday; state copies of W-2s and 1099s: No state income tax, so there is no state 1099 or W-2 filing to make on the pages we opened.
• 2027 deadline calendar. 9 dates our Wyoming files state: 4 quarterly due dates from Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, 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 Wyoming New Hire Reporting Center (new hires reported in 20 days) and the I-9 steps, and one per pay change against the $7.25 minimum wage.
• Wyoming compliance workbook (Excel). The Wyoming 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.
