 EMPLOYERS FIXED
6,844 Expected to Pay Minimum Rate on Rec.
 ord Status

A synopsis of the Fifth Merit Ra- tioning Period, April 1, 1945, through March 31, 1946, based on the payroll records of 1942 to 1914 inclusive has been compiled by the Research and Statistical Branch, of the State Labor Department, En- ployment Security Division.
 This merit rating is determined by dividing the total liable three-year experience payroll of an employer into all compensable separations charged against his account during the same period.
 This latest report reveals that 6,844 employers in State of Con- necticut have had no charges against their merit rating account during the past three calendar years and, consequently, will pay the minimum rate of Is per cent.
 This is the largest group of "no charge" employers since the merit rating was first instituted in l941 at which time only 1,778 employers had nc charges.
 There are 13.412 employers who are covered in the State under the Connecticut Unemployment Con- pensation Law as of the first of April.
 Only employers who have beer covered for three full calendar years prior to the determination date, or who have acquired such coverage through predecessor, and who have no delinquent contributions outstanding are eligible for reduced rates.
 In this fifth period, 9,673 employ res are eligible to be considered for reduction in their present rate.
