Bill > SB45

This bill amends Title 19 of the Delaware Code relating to unemployment compensation. The key changes are: 1. Deleting the automatic disqualification for unemployment benefits during the first three weeks of a labor dispute, except in cases where the labor dispute is caused by the employer's failure to comply with an agreement or contract, or if the employer hires a permanent replacement worker. 2. Establishing a presumption that a replacement worker is permanent unless the employer certifies in writing that the individual will be able to return to their prior position upon conclusion of the labor dispute. If the employer does not allow the individual to return after the certification, the individual can recover lost benefits, and the employer may face a penalty of up to $750 per employee per week of lost benefits. This aims to provide unemployment benefits to individuals during labor disputes in certain circumstances, protecting workers' rights and providing economic support during workplace disputes.
