Bill Summary

Relative to unemployment contribution rates assigned to employers. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend the existing unemployment contribution rate laws in Massachusetts. Under the proposed changes, new employers will be assigned an initial flat rate for the first five years, unless a claim is made against their account during the third, fourth, or fifth years. If no claims are made during the first five years, the employer will then be assigned a contribution rate pursuant to the existing law. However, if a claim is made during the third, fourth, or fifth years, the employer will be assigned the contribution rate at that time, rather than the initial flat rate.
