Tax Rates
The Employment Securi
ty Commission has begun
notifying aome 96,000
employer! in North
Carolina of their new 1978
unemployment iniurance
tax rates.
The rates are being
mailed from the agency's
central office in Raleigh,
according to the Edenton
local ESC manager, Mrs.
Alice W. Bond. She says the
new tax schedule provides
a minimum of .1 percent of
taxable payrolls up to a
maximum of 5.7 percent.
Explaining that
employers support the
unemployment insurance
program through payroll
taxes, Mrs. Bond says the
1977 General Assembly
amended the State's
unemployment insurance
law to provide a more
equitable schedule for
employer* who have few
workers unemployed.
For tome, the new
schedule meant lower
taxes, but others,
specifically those who have
overdrawn unemployment
insurance accounts, the tax
can go up to the 5.7 percent
maximum.
The current taxable
payroll is the first 14,200
earned by each covered
worker.
But this amount in
creases to $6,000 per worker
January 1, 1978, a provision
required by federal statutes
to restore funds depleted
during the 1975 recession.
North Carolina's
unemployment insurance
fund dropped from $575
million to just over $200

recession. 1
