FY 2009 Unemployment Insurance Premium

This premium is applied by the Statewide Payroll System when the employee is Unemployment Insurance eligible and is computed on all wages paid, less qualified cafeteria plans and dependent care assistance plans.  Employees that are automatically excluded as ineligible are legislators and other elected officials on the Regular Payroll (RG) and students, patients and inmates on the Contract Payroll (CT).  Others may be excluded by filing the UI exemption certification.  The system is designed to accept an agency specific rate, although currently all agencies are charged a standard rate.
