The board of directors of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce has voted unanimously to strongly oppose a proposed new tax on workers’ compensation currently under consideration by the State House and Michigan Senate as part of the state budget process, which must be completed by Oct. 1.
“Michigan’s job providers strongly oppose eliminating general fund support for this important program and replacing general revenue with a new tax on workers’ compensation,” said Nancy McKeague, senior vice president of administration for the Michigan Chamber.
“Employers already pay 100 percent of the cost of workers’ compensation benefits paid to injured workers. Imposing a permanent new tax on work comp in the middle of an economic slowdown to solve a temporary budget problem is unnecessary, unfair and unacceptable.”
