credited from the time the employer first or most recently
became an employer, whichever date is later, up to and
including June 30th of the preceding year, including any part
of the employer's contributions due for that year paid on or
before July 31st of that year, exceed the employer's benefits
charged during the same period, by the employer's average
annual payroll for the period of 36 consecutive months ending
June 30th of the preceding year.__The employer's contribution
rate is determined under subparagraphs (1) to (7).

 
(1)__The commissioner shall prepare a schedule listing
all employers for whom a reserve ratio has been
computed pursuant to this paragraph, in the order of
their reserve ratios, beginning with the highest ratio.__
For each employer, the schedule must show:

 
(a)__The amount of the employer's reserve ratio;

 
(b)__The amount of the employer's annual taxable
payroll; and

 
(c)__A cumulative total consisting of the amount
of the employer's annual taxable payroll plus the
amount of the annual taxable payrolls of all other
employers preceding the employer on the list.

 
(2)__The commissioner shall segregate employers into
contribution categories in accordance with the
cumulative totals under subparagraph (1), division (c).__
The contribution category is determined by the
cumulative payroll percentage limits in column B.__Each
contribution category is identified by the contribution
category number in column A that is opposite the
figures in column B, which represent the percentage
limits of each contribution category.__If an employer's
taxable payroll falls in more than one contribution
category, the employer must be assigned to the lower-
numbered contribution category, except that an employer
may not be assigned to a higher contribution

 
category than is assigned any other employer with the
same reserve ratio.
