One successful claim against you changes the rate you pay for each employee. If your rate is set at 7.25% then for one employee you might pay 7.250% * $12,520=$907.70. You pay that much for EACH employee, e.g. 10 employees yields a bill for $9,077.

Except that the headline quite clearly tells us that the charge is 20x higher than that (it's a $20k reason not to hire "someone", not "$20k reason not to fire 21 people").

Surely the headline would lie for the purposes of exploiting partisan anger?
