HB4805

Requires employers with 75 or more employees to submit claim-initiation information to the Department of Employment Security during layoffs.

HB4805 amends the Unemployment Insurance Act to mandate that employers with 75 or more employees submit claim-initiation information to the Department of Employment Security when they conduct a layoff, furlough, or temporary shutdown. The employer must provide the employee's name, last known contact information, last day worked, and reason for separation. The Department may impose a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per violation for employers who fail to comply. Each affected employee for whom required information is not submitted constitutes a separate violation.
