Also relevant to:W-2 worker (non-union)
Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how unemployment insurance taxes are calculated for employers in Iowa. It modifies the definition of "taxable wages" and adjusts the formulas used to determine an employer's contribution rate. The bill also reduces the number of benefit ratio ranks and contribution rate tables, potentially lowering the maximum tax rate for some employers. Any savings employers receive due to these changes must be used for employee salaries, benefits, or to cover seasonal unemployment.
