Pink Slip Taxes: Business Owners Pay for Layoffs
(WSJ.com) — At Amazon Reptile Center Inc., owner Scott Solar is paying for the pink slips he issued.
After several years of growth, the company, which has two reptile pet stores in Montclair and Covina, Calif., ran headfirst into the recession. As employees left, they weren’t replaced, but recently the company decided to let go of three workers. In three years, the staff shrunk to five from 12. Now, like many owners, Mr. Solar will be paying a higher state unemployment insurance tax as a direct result of those layoffs.
