2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 23:1533 — Experience rating records; administrator\'s duty to prepare

§1533.  Experience rating records; administrator's duty to prepare

(1)  The administrator shall prepare and maintain an experience rating record for each employer, and shall credit such record with all the contributions paid by him with respect to wages paid for the calendar quarter beginning October 1, 1941, and for each calendar quarter thereafter.  Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to grant any employer or any individual performing services for him prior claims or rights to amounts paid by the employer into the fund.  The administrator shall terminate the experience rating record of an employer who has ceased to be subject to this Chapter, or may do so provided the employer has had no employment in this state for a period of three consecutive calendar years.  Benefits accruing and paid on and after October 1, 1941, to an individual in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter shall be charged against the experience rating records of his base-period employers except: (1) that only those benefits paid to an individual in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 23:1611 through R.S. 23:1616 which are not reimbursed from federal funds shall be charged against the experience rating records of his base-period employers.  (2)  That benefits paid to an individual pursuant to R.S. 23:1635 shall not be charged against the experience rating records of a claimant's base-period employers if it is finally determined that such claimant was not entitled to such benefits.  and (3) That benefits paid to an individual who continues to remain in the employ of a base-period employer without a reduction in the number of hours worked or wages paid shall not be charged against the experience rating records of such employer.  The amount so chargeable against each base-period employer's experience rating record shall bear the same ratio to the total benefits paid to an individual as the base-period wages paid to the individual by such employer bear to the total amount of base-period wages paid to the individual by all his base-period employers; provided, however, that all such charges may be computed to the nearest multiple of one dollar.

(2)  If the total of the benefits which were chargeable to an employer's experience-rating record, and were paid on or before July 31, immediately succeeding the 1975 computation date as defined in R.S. 23:1542(1), with respect to weeks of unemployment beginning prior to said computation date exceeds the total of his contributions paid on or before July 31, immediately succeeding the said 1975 computation date with respect to wages paid by him on or prior to said computation date, such excess benefit charges shall be cancelled from his experience-rating record for all of the purposes of R.S. 23:1536 with respect to the 1975 computation date and all subsequent computation dates.
