Your SUI tax would be: 5 employees times $11,800 times 6% = $3,540
Remember, you’re only paying the SUI payroll tax on wages up to the base amount, $11,800 in this case, not the wages in excess of the base.
Employees who have voluntarily quit their jobs or were fired for misconduct are not eligible
Employees who are laid off will receive unemployment wages until they find new work or reach the end of the benefit period according to the laws of the state.
Anytime you let employees get away with violations of company’s policies, you’re giving a terminated employee an excuse to make their case for unemployment benefits and deny any willful misconduct on their part.
Unless an employer can provide evidence of employee misconduct, most state unemployment insurance agencies will approve an employee’s application for unemployment benefits.
