Presently; unemployment tax rates range from 1.3 percent for employers with the best employment experience to 3.0 percent for employers with the worst experience. In addition to the probable tax rate increase, the wage base on which the tax applies is scheduled to rise from $12,000 this year to $14,800 in 1983. The combined effect of the increase in the tax rates and the scheduled rise in the wage base means that most employers will have to pay dramatically higher unemployment taxes next year. For employers with the best employment experience, the tax will climb from a maximum of $156 per employee in 1982 to $444 in 1983, an increase of 185 percent.

The Foundation study notes that fs regardless of what is decided regarding a switch from payroll-variatio- n to charge- - back in Utah, unemployment costs will climb for most Utah employers next year. If the switch is made, however, it eventually would result in lower costs for business firms with a low turnover and higher costs for firms with a high turnover. Any change from payroll- - variation to charge-bac- k would not be made before 1984 or 1985.
