U( -.-rr. : Average unemployment taxes on 1945 pay rolls will decrease; from 22 to; about 2.1)4 per cent, a reduc tion pf about a 1 fourth . from. the normal 2.7 per cent contribution rate. This year. will Vbrhig ; to over S13.000.000 total savings since; experience rating went into effect in July. 1941. This figure does .not include more-than $1, 000,000 additional savings jmade because of the "ceiling" provision of the law Which prevented the assessment of- penalty ratesj offi cials said. ! i ' Subject Firm's Gains j j. The number pf firms brought into the experience rating system increased to 7138, a gain of 309 from: the previous year. Reduced rates went to 6093 employers,! an increase of 1035 from 1944.; The number of firms was almost even ly apportioned among the three reduced rate classifications, but the most pay roll was included in the 2 per cent group, largely be cause of the new shipyards enter ing the system for the first time. Firms which acquire an experi ence rating must have had; , three years during which unemployment benefits- could be charged against their accounts. Still outside the system were 2677 firms with, 1944 payrolls aggregating $139,545,000 Subject pay rolls included in the per cent group increased 64 per cent to $84,421,000 while the amount in the 1.5 per cent; group increased 28 per cent to S132.392,- 000. The largest amount of pay roll was assessed 2 per cent. This figure of $251,036,000 represent ed a gain of 21 per cent and was larger that the entire subject pay roll in 1939. Savings Forecast i With a new reduced rate of percent in effect on 1946 pay rolls, further savings are in sight for em' ployers as a result of the. amend' ment passed by the recent: legis lature. it was declared. Officials estimate that the additional sav ings will be about a quarter of i million dollars, depending wheth er pay rolls maintain the war time levels. ' ! The amendment abolishes all penalty rates, which have not been assessed since the third quarter of 1941. The number of million j dollar concerns increased to 64, as com pared to 52 the previous year and 31 ers for 1942. Only four employ' reported three-year average rolls over $10,000,000 and all pay of. these were shipyards.
