Over the last two weeks, we have reached out to the Governor’s Office and Employment Security Department to advocate for the important change to the rule. Unfortunately, neither the governor nor the agency has immediate plans to revise the rule. As a result, the existing rule, with its employer liability, remains the law.
- (2) When an employer is found by the department to be noncompliant with collecting premiums from an employee, the employer must file an amended report and pay the past due premiums.
Without a change in the rule, the employers’ liability still exists, despite public statements by policy makers.
