SB 194 Unemployment compensation; allowed two weeks of benefits if terminated before resignation date.

Introduced by: W. Roscoe Reynolds (by request) | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Unemployment compensation benefits; termination before resignation. Provides that where an employee gives notice of resignation, and the employer subsequently terminates him effective prior to the date specified in the resignation notice, the employer shall be liable for a maximum of two weeks of benefits (absent a finding of good cause for the employee's resignation or misconduct). Under current law, if an employer does not terminate an employee immediately after the employee gives notice of his resignation, but eventually terminates him prior to the specified resignation date, the employer is fully liable for payment of unemployment compensation benefits. The measure permits an employee to obtain up to two weeks of benefits if he gives a two-week notice of resignation, is terminated on that basis, and faces a two-week delay in starting his new employment.
