III. Each insurance carrier and self-insurer, including the state, shall make payments to the fund of its pro rata share of one fiscal year's costs to be appropriated out of the fund. The governor is authorized to draw a warrant for any sum payable by the state under this paragraph out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. The pro rata share shall be computed on the basis which the total workers' compensation benefits, including medical benefits, paid by each insurance carrier and self-insurer bore to the total workers' compensation benefits, including medical benefits, paid by all insurance carriers and self-insurers in the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that no insurance carrier or self-insurer shall pay an assessment of less than $100.

Total assessments shall not exceed the amount appropriated for the fund, which shall include the budget of the workers' compensation division of the department of labor for the fiscal year in which the assessment is made and all other costs of administering this chapter. The balance in the fund at the beginning of the new fiscal year shall proportionately reduce the assessments under this section.

Benefits charged to its account as a result of the determination shall remain so charged even though the claimant is, by reason of some later decision, held not to be entitled to such benefits. IV. An employing unit or employer may be granted a waiver from filing the mass layoff notice required in paragraph I if the commissioner determines, in accordance with such rules as the commissioner shall adopt, that it is unlikely that 25 or more of the individuals laid off will file an initial claim, as defined in RSA 282-A:42, II(a), due to the expected receipt of wages, as defined in RSA 282-A:14, III. Any such waiver shall become void if in fact 25 or more of the individuals laid off claim benefits.

Reinstatement under this section shall be subject to the provisions for seniority rights and other employment restrictions contained in a valid collective bargaining agreement between the employer and a representative of the employer's employees. II. Notwithstanding paragraph I of this section: (a) The right to reinstatement to the employee's former position under this section terminates when any one of the following events occurs: (1) A medical determination by the attending physician or finding by the commissioner that the employee cannot return to the former position of employment. (2) The employee accepts employment with another employer. (3) Eighteen months from the date of injury.

IV. The commissioner may assess employers in violation of this section all weekly wage benefits retroactive to the date the injured employee was eligible for reinstatement.
