Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. With respect to a
				partially unemployed individual, a week of partial unemployment shall consist
				of a calendar week beginning on Sunday and ending at midnight on Saturday.
				Total wages payable to partially unemployed workers are to be reported on a
				calendar week basis.
B. Upon filing
				of a new claim for partial benefits in each claimant's benefit year the
				commission shall promptly notify the employer of such claimant's weekly benefit
				amount, the date on which the claimant's benefit year commenced, and the
				effective date of the claim for partial benefits. Similar notice shall likewise
				be given at least once during the claimant's benefit year to each subsequent
				employer to whom the claimant is attached during a period of partial
				unemployment for which the claimant claims benefits. Upon receipt of the notice
				the employer shall record this information for use in the preparation of the
				evidence the employer is required to furnish periodically as required in
				subsection C of this section.
C.
				After the employer has been notified of the benefit year, the weekly benefit
				amount, and the effective date of the claim for partial benefits of any worker
				in the employer's employ (pursuant to subsection B of this section) the
				employer shall, within seven days, furnish the employee with written evidence
				concerning any week of partial unemployment that ended on or before the receipt
				of such notice and that began on or after the effective date of the employee's
				claim for partial benefits. The employer, until otherwise notified, shall,
				within 14 days after the termination of any pay period that includes a week of
				partial unemployment, and that ends after the date of receipt of such
				notification, furnish the employee with written evidence concerning the
				employee's partial unemployment with respect to such week. Written evidence of
				partial unemployment required by this subsection shall be furnished by means of
				a Statement of Partial Unemployment, Form VEC-B-31, or other suitable medium
				approved by the commission. Such evidence need not be furnished, however, where
				the worker's earnings for a week of partial unemployment equals or exceeds the
				worker's weekly benefit amount.
The information contained on such medium shall be in ink or
				  typewritten and shall show:
1. The
				name of the employer and employer account number;
2. The name and social security account
				number of the worker;
3. The date
				delivered to the worker;
4. The
				calendar week ending date;
5. The
				gross amount of wages earned in such week, by day;
6. The reason and the number of days or hours
				involved where the worker's earnings were reduced for any cause other than lack
				of work;
7. The following
				certification, or one similar:
"During the week or weeks covered by this report, the worker
				  whose name is entered worked less than full time and earned less than his
				  weekly benefit amount for total unemployment because of lack of work, or
				  otherwise shown. I certify that to the best of my knowledge, this information
				  is true and correct";
8. An
				original signature by the employer to the certification in subdivision 7 of
				this subsection or other identification of the authority supplying the
				evidence.
