New Employer Rate
Non-Construction: 1.6 percent (maximum wage cap 2007 - $21,300)
New Employers are: Non-Construction covered after June 30, 2004
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 2007 Taxable Wage Base is $21,300.
