- gruez 3y ago>disability insurance I think you meant unemployment insurance?
- barbazoo 3y agoIf so, how would they achieve that. In Canada afaik you only pay EI while one’s employed. How would they have saved money with this?
- gruez 3y agorandom from google: https://www.patriotsoftware.com/blog/payroll/handling-unemployment-claims/ https://www.patriotsoftware.com/blog/payroll/handling-unempl... >Again, you are responsible for paying FUTA and SUTA tax for your employees. And when former employees file for unemployment benefits, you are (indirectly) the one footing the bill. >Benefit payments are charged to your employer tax account, which results in increased state tax rates. The more unemployment claims the state approves, the more you contribute for unemployment taxes.
- ryandamm 3y agoAt least in California, businesses pay rates that are partially determined by the number of UI claims the company has paid out. You get a letter-based score that has many different tiers. Startups without a long history end up in the worst category be default, iirc.
- wbl 3y agoYou get UI even if fired unless it was for misconduct. Being bad at your job is not misconduct.
- j4yav 3y agoThen what’s the point of taking a shot at someone barely out of training to say it was their fault?
