When your employees file for unemployment, if you didn’t fire them for cause, you can be liable for their unemployment benefit payments.

  You start paying someone's unemployment the second you hire them, because most states require unemployment insurance by law. You don't suddenly get a new bill when someone is let go, You've already paid. https://smallbusiness.chron.com/employee-files-unemployment-benefits-company-pay-20067.html https://smallbusiness.chron.com/employee-files-unemployment-...

    Ok, looking further into this: “Nevada uses the "Reserve Ratio" formula to determine previous experience, which is the method used by a majority of the states. The Employment Security Division maintains a permanent "Experience Record" for each employer, consisting of accumulated taxes paid, accumulated benefits charged to his account, and average taxable payroll for the prior 3 years. Each year, the employer's reserve ratio is calculated from his experience record to determine his tax rate under the schedule in effect.” http://ui.nv.gov/ESSHTML/ui_information.htm http://ui.nv.gov/ESSHTML/ui_information.htm

    >You don't suddenly get a new bill when someone is let go The link you provided mentioned that an employer may/will have to pay a higher percentage of unemployment payroll insurance/tax after more former employees collect unemployment. Their rate goes up based on how many employees they lay off. I realize this isn't exactly what the comment you were applying to was talking about, but I thought it was interesting. I knew there was some reason that employers don't want their ex-employees to receive unemployment.
