YANKTON, S.D. (AP) The South Dakota Department of Labor is notifying employers that the amount they pay into the state unemployment trust fund is going up.
Department Secretary Pam Roberts says a $150-per-employee surcharge starts at the end of the month because high unemployment has drained the reserves from the trust fund that pays out jobless benefits.
Roberts says she knows the surcharge comes at a bad time for many businesses that are struggling. But she says the department needs to get the word out so businesses can make plans and get through the rough times.
All businesses will pay $150 per employee, or 1.5 percent on the first $10,000 of each worker's earnings, for the first quarter of 2010. That will bring in an estimated $32.6 million by the end of April.
