HB1939 on UI report back rule - moves forward

HB1939 on the employee report back rule has passed the House, and been sent on to the Senate. The version that passed the House has the following key components:
  • The PEO must give written notice to the employee about the report back requirement.
  • The notice must be in a separate document.
  • The notice must be given at the time of termination of employment.
  • The notice must be in the specific language stated in the statute.

While not explicit in the statute, I think it is a fair reading that the only consequence of not giving the required notice would be that you could not invoke the report back rule to challenge an employee's UI claim.
