Federal unemployment tax.
Termination can be contested, if determined to be "wrongful" the person can collect unemployment, and it goes against the company record considering unemployment tax is factored by both employee numbers and attrition rates.

I have several people who report to me. But I don't need to know about such things, that's why we have an HR department at my company.

Thinking its only HR's responsibility to understand workers rights is a sure fire way to end up in an unemployment hearing.
