METHODOLOGY:

This bill increases the minimum employer's contribution rate under RSA 282-A:82, IV, from not less than .10 percent to not less than .20 percent.  Employer rates are never reduced to zero and this figure represents the minimum employer tax rate that must be paid by an employer.  The Department estimates this change would increase state restricted revenue to the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund by approximately $2,579,339 annually.  This estimate is based on the number of registered employers in the State paying the statutory minimum rate as of the fourth quarter of 2016.  This bill does not impact counties and local governments.
