his annual payrolls for the three calendar years immediately
preceding that computation date. However, for any employer who
has not been subject to the provisions of this article for a
period of time sufficient to meet the three-calendar-year
requirement, that benefit ratio is the quotient obtained by
dividing the total benefits chargeable to his experience-rating
record and paid during the entire period, ending on December 31
immediately preceding the computation date, that he has been
subject to this article by the total amount of wages for
employment paid by the employer during the period beginning with
the first day of the calendar quarter in which he first became
subject to the provisions of this article and ending on December
31 of the calendar year immediately preceding that computation
date, with respect to which wages contributions have been paid on
or before that computation date. That benefit ratio shall be
computed to the fourth decimal point.

(ii) The contribution rate of each employer for
whom a benefit ratio is computed shall be as set forth in the
table below, hereafter referred to as the "table of basic rates":
