This 6-digit field is the Employee Tax Rate, given in units of 1000ths of a percent. This field is rarely used. Only a few States have utilized employee contributions to supplement the employer contributions. Most States deem it the sole responsibility of the employer to foot the bill for unemployment insurance. For those States that use employee U-I taxation, this field has a bearing on a few of the micro edits. For instance, contributions cannot exceed taxable wages unless these contributions include employee contributions, which are generally based on total wages, rather than taxable wages. The default value for this field is zero. If employee contributions are in effect for the State, and they are included in the Micro File contributions field, this value should be set to the appropriate tax rate. If the rate is 0.5%, for instance, the value would appear as 000500.
