Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to enacting the Unemployment Insurance Liability Act of 2016
Purpose or general idea of bill
Amends the labor law to require that employers who have relocated their businesses outside of New York State have continued liability for contributions to the unemployment insurance fund.
Summary of specific provisions
The bill would require that employers who have relocated out of state remain liable for contributions to the fund for two quartets from the date of relocation. Contributions would be based on the employer's last quarterly report. The bill would also require that a relocating employer identifies all employees being terminated as a result of the relocation and specifies the amount of their weekly wages.
Effects of present law which this bill would alter
Amends section 562 of the labor law.
Justification
Because contributions to the unemployment insurance fund are based on quarterly payroll reports, businesses that relocate out of state no longer make contributions to the fund. Still, workers who have lost their jobs as a result of the relocation are eligible for benefits for two quarters beyond the time pay into the fund. The burden former employees results in when the business was no longer required to of paying benefits to a relocating business's an increased drain on the funds.
