Washington SB5041 modifies unemployment insurance benefits for striking or lockout workers.

Washington SB5041 amends the state's unemployment insurance laws to adjust how benefits are charged to employers when workers are unemployed due to strikes or lockouts. The bill specifies that benefits paid to workers who are unemployed due to a strike or lockout at their last employer will not be charged to the experience rating accounts of their former employers. It also outlines conditions under which benefits may not be charged to employers, such as when the employer failed to report hours worked or remuneration paid accurately.
