NJECPAC Supports Governor's Plan to To Prevent $1 Billion Payroll Tax Hike

The NJECPAC strongly supports Governor Chris Christie’s plan to provide relief to employers by phasing in the tax increase over three years.
New Jersey’s Unemployment Insurance Fund is effectively bankrupt, paying out more in unemployment benefits than it collects in payroll taxes. If nothing is done, NJ employers will be hit with a $1 billion tax increase to replenish the fund. That would cost an average of $400 per employee and up to $683 per employee, according to the Governor.
The Governor held a news conference to unveil his plan to avoid the $1 billion tax increase and his proposal to return the State’s bankrupt Unemployment Insurance Fund to solvency.
