be changed if an election is made to become a reimbursable
employer prior to December 1 for a minimum of the following
calendar year.
(2) However, if on the effective date of the election the
governmental entity has a negative balance in its contributory
account, the governmental entity shall pay to the fund within
a time period determined by the department the amount of
the negative balance and shall immediately become liable to
reimburse the unemployment compensation fund for benefits paid
in lieu of contributions. Regular or extended benefits paid
after the effective date of the election, including those based
on wages paid while the governmental entity was a contributory
employer, shall be billed to the governmental entity as a
reimbursable employer.
b. (1) A governmental entity electing to make contributions
as a contributory employer, with at least eight consecutive
calendar quarters immediately preceding the computation date
throughout which the employer’s account has been chargeable
with benefits, shall be assigned a contribution rate under this
paragraph. Contribution rates shall be assigned by listing all

employer’s account for all past periods to and including those
for the quarter immediately preceding the rate computation
date exceeds the total benefits charged to such account for
the same period. An employer’s percentage of excess is a
negative number when the total of all contributions paid to an
employer’s account for all past periods to and including those
for the quarter immediately preceding the rate computation date
is less than the total benefits charged to such account for the
same period.

taxable payroll” means the average of the total amount of
taxable wages paid by an employer for insured work during the
three periods of four consecutive calendar quarters immediately
preceding the computation date. However, for an employer
which qualifies on any computation date for a computed rate on
the basis of less than twelve consecutive calendar quarters
of chargeability immediately preceding the computation date,
“average annual taxable payroll” means the average of the
employer’s total amount of taxable wages for the two periods of
four consecutive calendar quarters immediately preceding the
computation date.
(4) The department shall annually calculate a base rate
for each calendar year. The base rate is equal to the sum of
the benefits charged to governmental contributory employers in
the calendar year immediately preceding the computation date
plus or minus the difference between the total benefits and
contributions paid by governmental contributory employers since
January 1, 1980, which sum is divided by the total taxable

Senate File 2295, p. 15
wages reported by governmental contributory employers during
the calendar year immediately preceding the computation date,
rounded to the next highest one-tenth of one percent. Excess
contributions from the years 1978 and 1979 shall be used to
offset benefits paid in any calendar year where total benefits
exceed total contributions of governmental contributory
employers. The contribution rate as a percentage of taxable
wages of the employer shall be assigned as follows:
If the The contribution Approximate
percentage rate shall be: cumulative
of excess taxable
rank is: payroll

5 Base Rate + 0.3 71.5
6 Base Rate + 0.6 85.8
7 Base Rate + 0.9 100.0
(5) If a governmental contributory employer is grouped into
two separate percentage of excess ranks, the employer shall
be assigned the lower contribution rate of the two percentage
of excess ranks. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph, a governmental contributory employer shall not be
assigned a contribution rate less than one-tenth of one percent
of taxable wages unless the employer has a positive percentage
of excess greater than five percent.
(6) Governmental entities electing to be contributory
employers which are not eligible to be assigned a contribution
rate under this paragraph shall be assigned the base rate as a
contribution rate for the calendar year.
