* The surcharge adjustment is factored into the contribution rate by multiplying the basic rate on the Contribution Rate Notice (Forms UC-657 and UC-657V) by the applicable surcharge (for example .015 x .058 = .000870). The result is the surcharge adjustment which is then added to the basic rate.

 

In addition to the experience rated employer rate information summarized above, employers are required in 2010 to withhold an employee contribution tax of 0.08% (.0008), or 80 cents in tax for each $1,000 earned (page 12).
