Bill > SB248

This bill amends Louisiana unemployment compensation laws by modifying two key provisions related to employer reporting and benefit charging. First, the bill removes a previous provision that exempted benefits paid during certain 2005 executive orders from being charged to employers' experience-rating records, effectively returning to standard practice for tracking unemployment benefits. Second, the bill changes the timeline and method for employers to report employee separations, extending the reporting deadline from three to ten days and mandating that these separation notices be electronically transmitted instead of mailed or delivered. The bill requires employers to provide a full explanation of the reason for an employee's separation and submit this information both to the state administrator and to the separated employee. These changes aim to modernize and streamline the unemployment compensation reporting process, potentially making it more efficient for both employers and the state unemployment agency by leveraging electronic transmission and providing a more flexible reporting window.
