When employers become liable for unemployment insurance, they are classified as �new employers� and are assigned a new employer rate.� Tax rates are re-determined for each calendar year based on the employer�s history as of the preceding October.
If prior to October, then �non-construction� employers have at least six quarters of coverage and they are classified as �experience-rated employers� beginning that calendar year.� Otherwise they continue as �new employers.�� Experience-rated employers are assigned rates based on their record of unemployment insurance taxes paid and benefits charged.
The rates vary each year depending on the employer�s individual history and the condition of the state�s unemployment compensation trust fund.� The maximum amount of each worker�s wages subject to taxation each year is 70 percent of the statewide average annual payroll.� The 2006 Taxable Wage Base is $20,300.
