Abstract:

Although the North Carolina General Assembly rescinded a 20% surtax on unemployment insurance, worker's compensation rates have risen nearly 16% or more for fields such as construction and mining. Along with skyrocketing rates, a recent NC Supreme Court ruling exposed employers to liabilities brought by injured workers, breaking the worker's compensation barrier.
