Digging Out of a Deficit: What to Expect in the Second Quarter of 2022
Federal and State Unemployment Insurance rates are rising. Learn how these changes will affect 2022 and 2023 production budgets in California, New York, and other states.
February 25, 2022
Many states including CA and NY supplemented 2020 and 2021 state unemployment insurance (SUI) with borrowed federal unemployment funds (FUI) and have not paid back on their borrowing. To make matters worse, they also have yet to issue final SUI rates and assessments for 2022. This could have a serious impact on employers in Q2.
To help your production prepare for the changes ahead, join the conversation as VP and Payroll Tax Practice Leader, Becky Harshberger, leads a panel discussion addressing what employers in NY and CA, along with CO, CT, IL, MA, MN, NJ, PA, and VI, can expect to see, and how the forthcoming adjustments may impact their bottom line. (Runtime: 37 min)
Speakers:
- Becky Harshberger, VP and Practice Leader, Payroll Tax
- Joe Chianese, SVP and Practice Leader, Production Incentives
- Brunella Lisi, Director, Account Management
