2005 California Unemployment Insurance Code Sections 12120-12121 CHAPTER 3. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

12120.  The department shall disseminate information to employers
explaining the nature and purpose of the leisure sharing program.
   The department shall also provide technical assistance:
   (a) To employers who wish to apply for participation in the
program and to measure the extent of interest among employees of such
employer.
   (b) To participating employers to set up and operate such program
in order to maximize the impact on employment, minimize costs, and
maximize research findings.
   (c) To participating employers to make the maximum appropriate use
of existing federal, state, and local government aid programs
related to objectives of this program, such as the Comprehensive
Employment Training Act program and other recruitment programs, and
to assist an employer in qualifying for any benefits to which he may
be eligible under employment incentive tax or similar programs.  Such
assistance shall be designed to reduce to an absolute minimum
administrative efforts and expenses required of the employer;
provided, however, that the department shall specifically advise each
applicant that utilization of any other voluntary aid or incentive
program as described in this section shall be solely at the
discretion of the applicant and shall in no way be construed as a
condition or precondition of an employer's participation in the
demonstration program under this division.
12121.  In enacting this division, the Legislature specifically
intends that the director shall not take into consideration as a
possible offset against reimbursable labor costs under Section 12111
such windfalls to a participating employer as:
   (a) A tax incentive benefit or similar benefit gained by the
employer through another public program specifically designed to
encourage the employment of certain individuals, when such
individuals have become employed as a result of the operation of the
program under this division.
   (b) A decline in total wages paid as a result of prorating the
wages of high seniority employees while hiring new employees at lower
wage rates as a result of the operation of the program under this
division.
   (c) Any productivity gains which may be attributable to a positive
effect of this program.
