2024 Rank: 36
2023 Rank: 36
Connecticut ranks 36th-best due to a lack of filing thresholds or reciprocity agreements, as well as a harmful retaliatory version of the convenience of the employer rule. The state does offer a 15-day withholding threshold which protects some employers from frivolous withholding obligations.
