(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, each employer
subject to this chapter, other than employers whose assigned tax
rate is 5.4 percent, shall pay to the Employment Department, for
the first calendar quarter of each odd-numbered year, an amount
equal to three one-hundredths of a percent of wages subject to
tax under this chapter for that calendar quarter. All such moneys
shall be paid and collected in the same manner and at the same
time as unemployment compensation taxes under this chapter,
unless the Director of the Employment Department prescribes
otherwise. After deduction of the actual shared costs of the
Employment Department in collecting the amounts under this
subsection, all such moneys shall be paid into the Wage Security
Fund. Moneys due pursuant to this section but not received by the
department for payment to the Wage Security Fund by June 30 of
each odd-numbered year shall be paid into the Unemployment
Compensation Trust Fund.
SECTION 2. ORS 657.462 is amended to read:
657.462. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of ORS 657.430, the
Director of the Employment Department or the director's
authorized representative shall, for each calendar year, compute
a benefit ratio for each employer who meets the requirements of
this section. For an employer whose record has been chargeable
with benefits throughout the 12 preceding calendar quarters
ending on the computation date, the benefit ratio shall be a
quotient obtained by dividing the total benefit charges to the
employer's record in such 12 calendar quarters by the total of
the employer's taxable payrolls for the same 12 calendar
quarters. For an employer whose record has been chargeable with
benefits for at least four or more consecutive calendar quarters
but less than 12 consecutive calendar quarters and ending on the
computation date, the benefit ratio shall be the quotient
obtained by dividing the total benefits charged to the employer's
record for such consecutive calendar quarters by the total of the
employer's taxable payrolls for the same period. Benefit ratios
shall be carried out to the sixth decimal place.
(2) A listing shall be prepared of all employers meeting the
requirements of this section and whose account is open according
to Employment Department records as of August 31 following the
computation date. This listing shall start with the employer
having the lowest benefit ratio and progress through the employer
having the highest benefit ratio. The listing shall show for each
employer (a) the benefit ratio, (b) taxable payroll for the four
calendar quarters immediately preceding the computation date, and
(c) a cumulative total consisting of the sum of such employer's
taxable payroll and the taxable payroll of all other preceding
employers on the list.
(3) The department shall group all employers in accordance with
the cumulative taxable payroll percentage limits for the schedule
in effect under Table A. All employers who fall within the same
group will be assigned the tax rate for that group. However, if
this grouping results in the taxable payroll of an employer
falling in two groups, such employer and any other employer with
the same benefit ratio shall be assigned the lower of the two
applicable rates. Fractions of a cent will be dropped in
computing taxable payroll limits used in Table A. The schedule in
effect shall be in accordance with the Fund Adequacy Percentage
Ratios set forth in Table A.

SECTION 3. { + The amendments to ORS 657.439 and 657.462 by
sections 1 and 2 of this 2001 Act apply to unemployment insurance
tax reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2003. + }
SECTION 4. { + (1) Section 3 of this 2001 Act and the
amendments to ORS 657.439 and 657.462 by sections 1 and 2 of this
2001 Act do not become operative if the Employment Department
calculates in September 2002 that the amendments to ORS 657.439
and 657.462 by sections 1 and 2 of this 2001 Act would cause the
department to change the tax rate schedule in effect during the
calendar year 2003, 2004, 2005 or 2006 to a higher schedule than
would be in effect during the calendar year 2003, 2004, 2005 or
2006 without the amendments to ORS 657.439 and 657.462 by
sections 1 and 2 of this 2001 Act.
(2) The department shall report its calculations made under
subsection (1) of this section to the Governor, the President of
the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the
Office of the Legislative Counsel by October 31, 2002. + }
