| 9 | 9 | BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | |
| 10 | 10 | SECTION 1. Section 207.045(h), Labor Code, is amended to | |
| 11 | 11 | read as follows: | |
| 12 | 12 | (h) A temporary employee of a temporary help firm is | |
| 13 | 13 | considered to have left the employee's last work voluntarily | |
| 14 | 14 | without good cause connected with the work if the temporary | |
| 15 | 15 | employee failed, without good cause, to [does not] contact the | |
| 16 | 16 | temporary help firm for reassignment on completion of an | |
| 17 | 17 | assignment. A temporary employee is not considered to have left | |
| 18 | 18 | work voluntarily without good cause connected with the work under | |
| 19 | 19 | this subsection unless the temporary employee has been advised: | |
| 20 | 20 | (1) that the temporary employee is obligated to | |
| 21 | 21 | contact the temporary help firm on completion of assignments; and | |
| 22 | 22 | (2) that unemployment benefits may be denied if the | |
| 23 | 23 | temporary employee fails to do so. | |
| 24 | 24 | SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | |
| 25 | 25 | to a claim for unemployment compensation benefits filed with the | |
| 26 | 26 | Texas Workforce Commission on or after the effective date of this | |
| 27 | 27 | Act. A claim filed before the effective date of this Act is | |
| 28 | 28 | governed by the law in effect on the date the claim was filed, and | |
| 29 | 29 | the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. | |
| 30 | 30 | SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015. |
