1 1 Section 1. Section 7B.2, subsection 1, Code 1995, is
1 2 amended by adding the following new paragraph:
1 3 NEW PARAGRAPH. e. Is involved in a labor dispute and the
1 4 individual's employer has solicited or advertised for
1 5 permanent replacement employees.
1 6 Sec. 2. Section 96.3, subsection 5, Code 1995, is amended
1 7 to read as follows:
1 8 5. DURATION OF BENEFITS. The maximum total amount of
1 9 benefits payable to an eligible individual during a benefit
1 10 year shall not exceed the total of the wage credits accrued to
1 11 the individual's account during the individual's base period,
1 12 or twenty-six times the individual's weekly benefit amount,
1 13 whichever is the lesser. The commissioner shall maintain a
1 14 separate account for each individual who earns wages in
1 15 insured work. The commissioner shall compute wage credits for
1 16 each individual by crediting the individual's account with
1 17 one-third of the wages for insured work paid to the individual
1 18 during the individual's base period. However, the
1 19 commissioner shall recompute wage credits for an individual
1 20 who is laid off due to the individual's employer going out of
1 21 business at the factory, establishment, or other premises at
1 22 which the individual was last employed or the individual is
1 23 involved in a labor dispute and the individual's employer
1 24 solicits or advertises for permanent replacement employees, by
1 25 crediting the individual's account with one-half, instead of
1 26 one-third, of the wages for insured work paid to the
1 27 individual during the individual's base period. Benefits paid
1 28 to an eligible individual shall be charged against the base
1 29 period wage credits in the individual's account which have not
1 30 been previously charged, in the inverse chronological order as
1 31 the wages on which the wage credits are based were paid.
1 32 However if the state "off indicator" is in effect and if the
1 33 individual is laid off due to the individual's employer going
1 34 out of business at the factory, establishment, or other
1 35 premises at which the individual was last employed or the
2 1 individual is involved in a labor dispute and the individual's
2 2 employer solicits or advertises for permanent replacement
2 3 employees, the maximum benefits payable shall be extended to
2 4 thirty-nine times the individual's weekly benefit amount, but
2 5 not to exceed the total of the wage credits accrued to the
2 6 individual's account.
2 7 Sec. 3. Section 96.5, subsection 4, Code 1995, is amended
2 8 by adding the following new paragraph:
2 9 NEW PARAGRAPH. c. The individual is involved in a labor
2 10 dispute and the individual's employer has solicited or
2 11 advertised for permanent replacement employees.
2 12 Sec. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act, being deemed of
2 13 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
2 14 EXPLANATION
2 15 This bill provides that an individual involved in a labor
2 16 dispute is entitled to benefits as a displaced worker under
2 17 the job training partnership program and is entitled to
2 18 unemployment benefits in the same manner as a worker laid off
2 19 from employment due to a plant closing if the individual's
2 20 employer begins soliciting or advertising for permanent
2 21 replacement employees. This bill takes effect upon enactment.
