As an article in HR Magazine noted, "Unemployment insurance costs you plenty," unfortunately for many employers, the current trend continues. Higher taxes rates are only the start point in increasing UI liabilities. State UI agencies, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the IRS are ramping up their vigilance and audit activities of employers' payrolls in a search of misclassified workers and missing UI tax payments. The result is employers increasingly have to pay UI taxes on a broader tax base: previously classified independent contractors.
On the UI claims-hearing front, plaintiff attorneys are increasingly using UI hearings as a discovery tool and incorporating the UI claims process in their legal strategy. At the policy level, states have been encouraged by the federal government to broaden benefit entitlement. In response employers are taking a new look at their UI cost management programs and activities and are becoming more aggressive in ferreting out ineffective practices.
