Model Assumptions

1) All employees are in the same state. If you have significant amounts of employees in different states you may want to run the model separately for the employees groups in each state.

2) You are not located in one of the few states that charge a portion of unemployment insurance costs to the employees. To see if this affects your analysis, check the table located here State UI rate table or see your state UI website.

3) Employee turnover rate is consistent throughout the year.

4) All employees are fulltime with a standard work year of 2100 hours. Any number of part-time employees will cause SUTA costs in the analysis to be understated.

5) Average hourly wage for the group is fair representation of actual wages. I.E – there is not one group of highly compensated employees and another group of low compensated employees averaged together in the rate. If you have significant groups at different compensation levels you may want to run the model separately for each group.

6) Number of active employees is consistent throughout the year. A large number of employee new hires or terminations will affect the analysis.
