Presuming they don't pass it directly along to you. My employer charges me $3.10 per biweekly paystub for "PA State Unemployment Insurance", or $80.60 per year.
Having said that, those are monies charged per employee, hence monies that COULD be paid to the employee.
I'm not sure what you are expecting me to disagree with here. I'm just pointing out that this "catastrophe" is being hyped up over $92 per year per employee. That's a rounding error for most payrolls.
I guess using that logic, this national healthcare is ok with you, money wise, it’s just a few dollars anyway, not likely to break too many companies, especially since the cost will probably be passed to the employees anyway.
Where did you get that from? A new 8% payroll tax on the entire payroll of every company will be a killer.
ANY % tax is inherently destructive. You seemed to be OK with it because it was just a small bite. I say ANY give now, with things as they are economically is a KILLER, much less 8%.
Ah, yes, PA taxes, one reason I left that God forsaken Commonwealth. You are welcome to it.
