Payroll Decline Bill Tabled In Salem SALEM (UPI) The Senate Labor and Industries Committee has tabled a bill providing for a so-called "payroll plan" of financing unemployment compensation. The action was taken in executive session. Employers had objected to the bill.

Under the plane, employers would have contributed 2.7 per cent of their taxable payroll until the fund reached 6 per cent of the total annual payroll of the state. Then merit rating would go into effect and as the fund increased above the 6 per cent employers would get tax credits for good employment records. Under present law merit rating is not in effect now because the fund has dropped below 3 per cent of the taxable payroll of Oregon. When it goes up above 3 per cent employers again will get merit rating. The committee has voted "do pass" on a bill to tighten up on benefits in unemployment due to pregnancy.
