Bill Summary

For legislation to further regulate the unemployment insurance law for workers with fluctuating work schedules. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends the unemployment insurance law to further regulate the calculation of unemployment benefits for workers with fluctuating work schedules. Specifically, it provides that if an individual has worked for 15 or more weeks and the standard deeming method would render them ineligible for unemployment benefits, the amount deemed as income shall be equal to one twenty-sixth of their total wages, rather than the standard calculation. This change is intended to ensure that workers with variable schedules are not unfairly denied unemployment benefits.
