(1) Contributions shall become due and shall be paid by each employer on or before January thirty-first with respect to wages paid for employment in the previous calendar year.
(2) Any separation of employment shall be reported within ten days of such separation, along with the employer's payroll report.
(3) In the event of a termination of the employer's account, contributions shall be due and payable at the next regular quarterly due date.
(4) Any penalties or interest shall be calculated in the same manner as those for any other type of employment.
(5) Any election to pay such contributions annually shall not be terminable by the employer for two calendar years.
