This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis, P.C. discusses several changes to the New York Unemployment Insurance Law affecting employers. The amendments include penalties to employers for failing to respond timely to requests for information and notices of potential charges. Additionally, employer contributions will continue to rise annually through 2026, and have increased from $8,500 to $10,300 per employee as of January 1, 2014. The amended law also reduces employer contributions based on the employee's eligibility for severance and pension benefits.
