Unemployment insurance: trade disputes: eligibility for benefits. compensation: benefits payable: collection. Existing law provides for the payment of unemployment compensation benefits to eligible persons who are unemployed through no fault of their own through a federal-state unemployment insurance program administered by the Employment Development Department, subject to oversight by the Director of Employment Development. Unemployment compensation benefits are paid from the Unemployment Fund, and the expenses of administering the unemployment insurance program are paid from the Unemployment Administration Fund.Under existing law, if an employer fails to keep and furnish to the director any required records or reports necessary for a full determination, decision, or other proper disposition of a claim for unemployment benefits within a reasonable time as the director may by rule, regulation, or procedure prescribe, it is to be conclusively presumed that the claimant is entitled to the maximum total amount of benefits payable unless the director deems sufficient a lesser total amount is due and owing to the claimant.This bill would instead provide that if an employer, within 10 days after receiving notice from the director of the need to furnish required records or reports necessary for a full determination, decision on appeal, or other proper disposition of a claim for unemployment benefits, fails to furnish those required records or reports to the director, it shall be conclusively presumed that the claimant is entitled to the maximum total benefits payable, unless the director determines, based on the evidence, that the claimant is entitled to a lesser amount. The bill would also provide that if an employer employing 5 or more claimants has failed to keep and furnish to the director, within 10 days after receiving notice from the director, any required records or reports necessary for a full determination, decision on appeal, or other proper disposition of any claim for benefits in any proceeding under this division, then it shall be conclusively presumed that all claimants of that employer are entitled to the maximum total amount of benefits payable under this division, unless the director determines, based on the evidence, that the claimants are entitled to a lesser amount.Under existing law, employer contributions to the Unemployment Fund are required to be paid by each employer to the department for deposit in the Unemployment Fund, and become delinquent if not paid in accordance with specified timeframes and procedures. Under existing law, any employer who, without good cause, fails to pay required contributions is subject to a penalty of 15% of the percent of the amount of those contributions, in addition to payment of interest and other specified penalties.This bill would authorize the director to delegate its authority to recover and collect contributions from an employing unit that has 5 or more persons claiming unemployment benefits to the Attorney General. The bill would require, if this authority is delegated to the Attorney General, that the Attorney General collect the entire required contribution from the employing unit, including interest and penalties, and this amount be deposited into the Unemployment Fund. The bill would require the director to reimburse the Attorney General for its reasonable regulatory costs in recovering and collecting contributions from the Unemployment Administration Fund. The bill would define employing unit for purposes of this provision to mean a business or employer that has more than 500 employees, including employees who have been misclassified as independent contractors.Existing law provides for the payment of unemployment compensation benefits and extended benefits to eligible individuals who meet specified requirements.Under existing law, unemployment benefits are paid from the Unemployment Fund, which is continuously appropriated for these purposes. Existing law makes an individual ineligible for unemployment benefits if the individual left work because of a trade dispute and specifies that the individual remains ineligible for the duration of the trade dispute. Existing case law holds that employees who left work due to a lockout by the employer, even if it was in anticipation of a trade dispute, are eligible for benefits.This bill would restore eligibility for unemployment benefits after the first 3 weeks of a trade dispute for an employee who left work because of the trade dispute. The bill would also codify specified case law that holds that employees who left work due to a lockout by the employer, even if it was in anticipation of a trade dispute, are eligible for benefits. The bill would specify that the bills provisions do not diminish eligibility for benefits of individuals deprived of work due to an employer lockout or similar action, as specified.Because this bill would expand the categories of people eligible to receive benefits from a continuously appropriated fund, it would make an appropriation.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: YESNO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
