Are religious organizations liable for Unemployment Taxes?

The Alabama UC law provides that services performed in the employ of a church or convention or association of churches—or an organization that is operated primarily for religious purposes and which is operated, supervised, controlled or principally supported by a church, convention or association of churches—shall not be considered covered employment. For more information on religious organizations contact the Status Unit at 334-954-4730 or status@labor.alabama.gov.
