The bill amends Louisiana's unemployment compensation laws, specifically R.S. 23:1541(A) and 1576, to update procedures regarding employer benefit charges and notices of separation. It establishes that the administrator must provide a statement to employers detailing benefits paid to individuals charged to their experience-rating record within ninety days after each calendar quarter. Employers can contest these charges by filing an application for review within thirty days of receiving the notice. Notably, the bill removes the provision that exempted certain benefits paid under specific executive orders from being charged to employers' experience-rating records.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for employers to file a notice of separation with the administrator. Employers must now electronically transmit this notice, which includes the date of separation and reasons for the employee's departure, within ten days of the separation date. This change aims to streamline the process and ensure timely communication regarding employee separations.
