<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the Senate Calendar now sits s. 478. This bill came out of an LCI (Labor, Commerce, & Industry) subcommittee I chaired this year. After 8+ meetings & 23+ scenarios we’ll probably take it up for debate on Tuesday, 04.19.11.<\/p>\n
This piece of legislation does several things:
\n-new SC businesses will begin their first year in Class 12 (as opposed to 13), then their experience will dictate their class.
\n-voluntary early contributions will not be considered for lower rate classes
\n-delinquent and new employers are not to be considered to adjust rates
\n-delinquent employes will pay 20’s rate
\n-removes the weekly call in for temporary agencies
\n-removes ability to receive benefits when fired for gross mis-conduct
\n-allows benefits to be paid if loss as result of natural disaster
\n-allows DEW to intercept federal taxes for delinquent payments
\n-increases the ability of DEW to track down delinquent payments from 5 years to 8<\/p>\n
I expect several amendments to come forth making adjustments to the current unemployment tax structures.\u00a0I initially supported scenario 15, but it was later discovered that 15 increases out debt 60 million and will indirectly increase rates for classes 1-12. 15 also leaves the trust fund empty in 2016. History shows us that we see a dip in the economy approximately every 7 years.<\/p>\n
Classes 1-12 are employers that have collectively paid a surplus of $350 million. Classes 13-20 collectively have a deficit of over $1 billion.\u00a0I will offer an amendment that spreads 30% relief across the board to all rate classes of employers and I understand there’s an additional amendment that gets us more relief.<\/p>\n
As we consider these, I am committed to 3 things on the rate structures 1-no more borrowing, 2-no cost shifting, & 3-no carve outs.<\/p>\n
