In the face of California’s ongoing Employment Development Department (EDD) debacle, businesses are feeling the weight of increased taxes and structural insolvency. The recent revelation of the EDD’s mismanagement has led to significant concerns for employers across the state. Fortunately, Worksana is here to not only alleviate these concerns but also help businesses navigate complex labor laws and avoid potential lawsuits.
The EDD’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund Crisis
A recent report from the Legislative Analyst’s Office has confirmed what many suspected – the Unemployment Insurance (UI) trust fund managed by the EDD is “structurally insolvent” (California Globe, July 8, 2023). This revelation has raised alarms among businesses, as the EDD is grappling with an $18 billion-dollar federal debt, largely due to gross incompetence during the pandemic.
As the state seeks to stabilize its finances, it’s turning to businesses and employees for assistance. A surcharge of approximately $1,500 per California employee over the next 15 years is being levied to cover ongoing bills and the federal debt (California Globe, July 8, 2023). This additional financial burden highlights the need for effective solutions that not only help businesses navigate these challenges but also ensure compliance with labor laws.
