Only Employers Required tc
Pay Tax, Frank Starkey
Emphasizes.

The purpose and operation of Mime
sofas new unemployment compensation
law were explained today in a state
ment released by Frank T. Starkey
chairman of the state Industrial Com
mission, under which department the
law is being administered.
Pointing out that the new law is a
part of the states participation in the
national social security program, Mr..
Starkey cited the Is most recurrent
questions asked in connection with the
law, and gave his answers.
The questions and answers are:
1. When did Minnesota adopt its
law?
ANSWER: The law was adopted at a
special session of the state legislature
in December, 1886, and approved by the
federal Social Security Board on Dec
ember %.
2. What is the purpose of the law?
ANSWER: The law provides for the
compulsory setting aside of unemploy-
ment reserves to be used for the benefit
of persons unemployed" This is to be
accomplished by taxing employers on
the totals of their pay rolls, thereby
establishing a fund out of which
workers will receive benefits during the
periods of unemployment.
8. Who pays the tax?
ANSWER: The employer pays the en-
tire tax, employees not being required
70 hi,,n ,fr;l> n; t~x,o
ployees are made only under the old
age annuity, or pension, program, q
strictly federal function. This calls fol
payments into a common fund by both
employer and employee, to provide pen.
SionS for workers, on the basis of theil
earnings, upon retirement at age IS.
4. What is the rate of the tax under
Minnesota's unemployment compensa.
| ton law?
ANSWER: The tax for the year o.
1886 is nine-tenths of one per cent o.
the total pay roll for the year for al
employers who had eight or more EN-.
| ployees. In addition, the federal I'm.
employment compensation law impose.
a one per cent tax on employers in thi.
same classification. However, the fed.
eral government provides that EN-.
ployers who are subject to the Mime.
sofa law may take credit for ninety pei
cent of the federal tax in their fedora
returns. That means that the 1885,
rate for Minnesota employers under
both laws will be only total of one
per cent on their pay rolls, nine-tenthG
of the total going to the state and one
tenth to the federal government.
5. How are payments to be made?
ANSWER: Originally, the tax to both
the state and federal government wa.
payable by Jan. 81, 1897. However, both
the state and government granted ex.
tensions, the state until Feb. %, 1887
and the federal government to Mar. 81
1887. Payment of the state tax mus
be made before credit may be claimed
in the federal remittance.
6. Must an employer have had eight
or more full-time employees at all time.
during 1886 to be subject to the taxi
ANSWER: No. For instance, a grocer
may employ five full-time clerks, bu
hires three extra helpers every Satur.
day. This would subject him to the
tax, and payment would have to bt
made on the entire pay roll, that of the
| full-tlnle workers as well as that OF
the extra help. Furthermore, the extra
help, which would bring this employers

not have to be on year-round basis.
If his pay roll included eight or more
persons only on occasional days and
those days occurred during at least 20
different weeks in the year he would be
subject to the tax.
z. Will an employer receive reduc-
ton in his tax rate if he keeps his en-
ployees steadily employed?
ANSWER: This cannot be definitely
answered at this time. The law pro-
vides that the Industrial Commission
cannot grant any reduction under the
laws so-called merit-rating clause until
benefits have been paid for three
year period, which means that no re-
auctions can be granted until 1941.
8. When will benefits be paid to I'M
employed persons?
ANSWER: The law provides that no
payments can be made until after con-
tributions have been paid in for two
years, or after Jan. /, 1888.
g. Does that mean that anybody
who becomes unemployed this year will
not receive anything?
ANSWER: Yes. The reason for this is
that the fund must become solvent be-
fore any payments are made from it.
10. Will workers, beginning in 1888,
receive benefits at all times that they
are unemployed?
ANSWER: No. In all cases two
weeks waiting period (for which no
benefits will be paid must pass before
benefits can be granted. Furthermore,
no person can receive benefits for more
than Is weeks in any one year.
II. What amount of benefits will be
paid?
ANSWER: Benefits will be paid on
the basis of fifty per cent of regular
wages received while at work, but not
to exceed SIS per week. Where wages
are extremely low, minimum of Sc
per week or three fourths of the wages
earned, whichever is less, will be paid.
The reason for the Sc or three-fourths
scale is to prevent payment of benefits
of more than actual working wages to
persons in the extremely low brackets.
IL. What must a worker do to re-
ceive benefits when unemployed?
ANSWER: He is required to register
for employment at the state public en-
ployment office, where an effort will be
made to find another job for him.
After two weeks waiting period, if
still unemployed, he applies at the same
place for unemployment compensation,
or benefits
Is. Must an unemployed person &C
cept any type of job offered him?
ANSWER: No. He does not have to
accept a job which is substantially
poorer in wages, hours and working
conditions than his former job.
IA. Would he have to take a job
where there is labor trouble?
ANSWER: No. The law specifically
says that no employee is compelled to
accept job under such conditions.
Is. How will the state know how
much in benefits an unemployed worker
! is entitled to?
| ANSWER: Employers are required to
report to the state unemployment COM
pensation division every three months a
record of their employees, the number
of days and hours worked by each, and
, the earnings of each. Individual re-
cords of every worker be kept by the
state and complete record of his earn
ings will always be had, even though
he changes jobs.
