Unemployment compensation-employer contributions.

This Wyoming bill (SF 176) sets a hard cap on employer contributions to the state's unemployment compensation fund, limiting payments to no more than $1 per employee annually. It directly affects all employers in Wyoming who pay into the unemployment insurance system. The key mechanism establishes that even when combined with base rates (8.5%) and other adjustment factors, total annual employer contributions cannot exceed $1 per employee. The bill takes effect January 1, 2026, and amends existing law to enforce this cap across all employer contribution calculations.
