DIGEST
SB 541 Original 2018 Regular Session Morrish
Present law provides that unemployment benefits charged after a requalification of a claimant will
not be charged against the experience-rating account of an employer when all of the following
pertain:
(1)The employer timely files a separation notice alleging disqualification.
(2)Either a response to a notice of claim filed or a response to a notice to a base period employer
is filed.
(3)The separation of the employee from the employer is determined to be under disqualifying
conditions.
Proposed law retains present law but changes "all" to "any one" as it relates to the requirements
which must be met in order that the employer's experience-rating account will not be charged.
Effective August 1, 2018.
