WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION
THREE MONTHS EXEMPTION
The announcement by the Indus
trial accident commission that em
ployers and employee operating un
der the workmen’s compensation law
will be exempt from payment into
the fund for the months of April.
May and June comes at a most oppor
tune time.
It relieves Oregon in
dustry from a burden during the re
adjustment period. The exemption
is possible because of a surplus that
accumulated in the fund during the
past year. The exempting of this 3-
months period will meanthat no pay
ments will have been made Into the
fund by employers and employee for
seven of twelve months of the fiscal
year ending June 30. The effect of
these exempted months la to reduce |
the rate o payment made by employ
ers upon their payrolls to five-
twelfths of the base rate. The ex
emption just declared by the com
mission will relieve employers from
the payment of approximately $600,-
000 Into the fund for the months of
April, May and June, the commiss
ion having sufficient funds on hand
to pay all claims during the period.
The recent legislature at the sug
gestion of the commission amended
the compensation law changing the
method of exemption so as to provide
an annual credit refund to employ-
era instead of the monthly exemption
system. Under the old law the em
ployer had to have continuous pay- '
rolls to be entitled to the exemptions
as they were declared, but under the
new law the employer will be given
credit at the end of the year for the
proportion his payments Into the |
i
fund bear to the entire amount.
1
Since the workmen’s compensation
law became efective in 1914, the in |
dustrial accident commission has re
ceived from al sources 86,007,081
which it has disbursed in the course
of business at an administrative ex
pense of only 6.17 per cent, the bal
