Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Department of Labor does not anticipate a significant impact to the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund associated with paying unemployment benefits to replacement workers who are subsequently laid-off when military service personnel are rehired by an employer.  The amount can not be determined at this time but is not expected to impact the contribution rate schedule currently in effect.
This legislation will relieve the State of Maine, as a direct reimbursement employer, from unemployment costs under circumstances when an active military person returns from military leave and causes a replacement worker to be laid off.  The projected savings from this proposed exception can not be determined at this time.
