 4 employers liable pursuant to the presumption in subdivision one of
 5 section five hundred seventy-two of this title, shall pay contributions
 6 on all wages paid by [him] such employer at the rate of five and four-
 7 tenths per centum or, if applicable to the employer, at the rate
 8 provided by the provisions of sections five hundred seventy-seven and
 9 five hundred eighty-one of this title. However, if contributions so
 10 established exceed five and four-tenths per centum of wages paid by
 11 [him] such employer which are subject to the federal unemployment tax
 12 act, they shall be reduced by that part of such excess, if any, which is
 13 caused by the provisions of paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section
 14 five hundred eighteen of this article.

 17 § 572. [Notice] Presumption of liability. 1. Notwithstanding any other
 18 provision of law, upon the initial determination of a claim for bene-
 19 fits, if the department determines that any person is or was an employee
 20 within the meaning of this article, there shall be a presumption that
 21 such determination applies to all others performing similar services for
 22 the employer and such employer has become liable for contributions for

 3 dication of any initial determination finding a claimant to be an
 4 employee, the reporting and contributions required under this title
 5 shall be made on all wages paid to such claimant and all others perform-
 6 ing similar services for the employer. The employer's obligation to
 7 contribute for such employees shall continue until the employer success-
 8 fully rebuts the presumption in a final adjudication of a future claim
 9 involving a claimant performing similar services for the employer. The
 10 presumption and obligations in this subdivision shall apply to all
 11 determinations already rendered and all future determinations.

 13 the commissioner of [such] the fact [immediately] and shall give infor-
 14 mation concerning [his] their operations and persons employed by [him]
