Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 31 - Labor › 222 - Unemployment Compensation › Section 31-222-1 - Agricultural labor

Current through July 10, 2024
The term "agricultural labor", within the meaning of section
				31-222 of
				the general statutes, includes all services performed (1) By an employee, on a
				farm, in connection with the cultivation of the soil, the harvesting of crops,
				or the management of livestock, bees and poultry; or (2) by an employee in
				connection with the processing of articles from materials which were produced
				on a farm; also the packing, packaging, transportation, or marketing of those
				materials or articles. Such services do not constitute "agricultural labor,"
				however, unless they are performed by an employee of the owner or tenant of the
				farm on which the materials in their raw or natural state were produced, and
				unless such processing, packing, packaging, transportation or marketing is
				carried on as an incident to ordinary farming operations as distinguished from
				manufacturing or commercial operations. As used herein, the term "farm"
				embraces the farm in the ordinarily accepted sense, and includes stock, dairy,
				poultry, fruit and truck farms, plantations and orchards. Lumbering and the
				cutting of wood for sale are not included within the exception unless carried
				on as an incident to ordinary farming operations.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 31 - Labor › 222 - Unemployment Compensation › Section 31-222-2 - Casual labor

Current through July 10, 2024
In order to be excepted from coverage, within the meaning of
				section
				31-222(a)(5)(G)
				of the general statutes, labor shall be both casual and not in the course of
				the employer's trade or business. Generally the labor is "casual" if it is
				occasional and incidental and occurs irregularly; and is "not in the course of
				the employer's trade or business" if it does not readily appear to advance,
				promote or further the trade or business of the employer.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 31 - Labor › 222 - Unemployment Compensation › Section 31-222-3 - Wages

Current through July 10, 2024
The term "wages" means all remuneration for employment, whether
				paid in money or something other than money. The name by which such
				remuneration is designated is immaterial. Thus, salaries, commissions on sales
				or on insurance premiums, fees and bonuses are wages within the meaning of the
				act if payable by an employer to his employees as compensation for services not
				excepted by the law. The basis upon which the remuneration is payable, the
				amount of remuneration and the time of payment are immaterial in determining
				whether remuneration constitutes "wages." Thus, it may be payable on the basis
				of piecework, or a percentage of profits; and it may be payable hourly, daily,
				weekly, monthly or annually. Tips or gratuities and profits may be "wages." The
				medium in which the remuneration is payable is also immaterial. It may be
				payable in cash or in something other than cash, such as goods, lodging, food
				and clothing. Any payments made by an employer to an employee who is on leave
				of absence for military training are excluded from "wages" if the employer is
				not legally bound by contract, statute or otherwise to make such payments. The
				term "wages" does not include the amount of any payment by an employer (without
				deduction from the remuneration of, or other reimbursement from, the employee)
				of the employee's tax imposed by section 1400 of the Federal Insurance
				Contributions Act.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 31 - Labor › 222 - Unemployment Compensation › Section 31-222-4 - Method of estimating cash value of board and room

Current through July 10, 2024
Wages are defined in section
				31-222(b)
				of the general statutes as "all remuneration for employment, including the cash
				value of all remuneration paid in any medium other than cash." If board and/or
				lodging are given as part of the contract of hire, the administrator may
				determine in individual cases the cash value of such board and lodging for the
				purpose of computing wages of such employee. Where a cash value for board and
				lodging furnished an employee is agreed upon in any contract of hire, the
				amount so agreed upon shall, if more than the rates prescribed herein, as
				deemed the value of such board and lodging. Otherwise, until and unless in a
				given case a rate for board and lodging is determined by the administrator,
				board and lodging which form any part of the employee's contract of hire shall
				be included for the purpose of computing his wages at the maximum established
				by the minimum wage regulations currently in force and as, from time to time,
				amended. These regulations* provide the following maximum cash values:

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Whenever tips
			 or gratuities are paid directly to an employee by a customer of an employer,
			 the amount thereof which is accounted for by the employee to the employer shall
			 be considered wages.
(b) In
			 determining whether tips or gratuities are accounted for, it shall be
			 considered that the reporting by an employee, for social security purposes, of
			 tips or gratuities received from customers is an accounting for the quarter
			 reported by the employee.
(c) In
			 determining wages of employees who customarily receive tips or gratuities, it
			 shall be considered that amounts charged to customers as a "service charge" and
			 subsequently distributed by an employer to waiters and other employees are
			 wages.
(d) The amount of any tips
			 which are claimed by an employer as a credit against the minimum wage for any
			 individual as provided in chapter 558 of the general statutes, as amended, and
			 the regulations applicable thereto shall constitute wages of such individual
			 and be reported as such, unless the individual has certified a greater amount
			 of tips received. The wages reported for any employee shall in no event be less
			 than the minimum wage provided by law.

Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 31 - Labor › 222 - Unemployment Compensation › Section 31-222-6 - Employers becoming subject who were not previously subject

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) An employer, upon becoming subject to the
			 unemployment compensation act under the provision of section
			 31-223
			 of the general statutes, shall give written notice to the administrator within
			 fifteen days. For the purpose of determining whether an employer is subject to
			 the act, all employees shall be counted regardless of the length of time
			 employed, the amount of compensation or the basis of compensation. The rank or
			 title of an employee is immaterial, but directors of a corporation are not
			 employees of such corporation if the services which they render are united to
			 attendance at and participation in meetings of the board of directors. Officers
			 of a corporation who receive any remuneration or whose personal accounts are
			 credited shall be counted as employees during each week of the calendar
			 year.
(b) In determining whether a
			 particular number of individuals is employed during a particular number of
			 weeks, it is immaterial whether the same individuals are employed during each
			 of such weeks. The phrase "at the same time" means during the same calendar
			 week.
(c) In determining what
			 constitutes "substantially all of the assets, organization, trade or business
			 of another employer," the administrator shall be guided in his determination by
			 the ordinary rules of commercial practice, the terms of the contract of sale,
			 the disposition of the good will of the business and such other factors as may
			 be relevant. The prime question is whether the acquisition resulted in a
			 substantial continuation of the same or a like business.
(d) In determining whether or not a business
			 was, at a given time, owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the same
			 interests which owned or controlled the business of the employer in question,
			 the administrator shall be guided by the terms of partnership agreements, trust
			 indentures, corporate stock records, contracts and such other evidences of
			 ownership or control as are necessary for a determination of the facts. Each
			 employer contracting with or having under him any contractor or subcontractor
			 who is not subject to the provisions of the act shall keep records of the
			 amounts of the wages paid to the individual employees of such contractor or
			 subcontractor and shall pay contributions with respect to such wages. Such
			 contractors and subcontractors shall make the necessary information available
			 to the employer. An owner of premises shall be considered to be an employer if
			 he engages one or more contractors or subcontractors.

				Payment by mail shall be deemed to have been made on the earliest postmark date
				appearing on the envelope. Whenever an employer fails to pay his contribution
				within fifteen days after the due date of such contribution, he shall, at the
				option of the administrator, immediately become liable for all succeeding
				contributions on a monthly basis. Each such contribution payment shall be
				payable on or before the last day of each calendar month with respect to wages
				paid during the preceding calendar month. An employer who has paid six
				consecutive monthly contributions without delinquency and who is not indebted
				to the administrator for any previous contributions may, with the approval of
				the administrator, revert to the quarterly contribution method.

			 work;
(3) number of hours worked
			 each calendar week;
(4) normal
			 full-time hours of work. Such records shall be available for inspection in
			 Connecticut at all times by duly certified representatives of the
			 administrator. (See section

			 employer subject to the unemployment compensation act shall submit quarterly on
			 forms supplied by the administrator (Forms Conn. UC-5A and UC-5B) a listing of
			 wage information, including thereon each employee receiving wages in employment
			 subject to said act. Such wage information shall include the name of each
			 employee, his social security account number and the amount of wages paid to
			 him during such calendar quarter. Such return shall be due not later than the
