Ratings Aid in
Large Saving
To Employers
Officials of the state unemploy
ment i compensation commission
said i Saturday nearly $5,000,000
wiU be saved by Oregon employ
ers this year as a Tesult of the
annual experience ratings recent
ly issued. 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.
