Description
Unemployment compensation; seasonal establishments. Authorizes the Virginia Employment Commission to designate, upon an employer's application, that an employer's establishment is a seasonal establishment that customarily operates only during a regularly occurring period of between 13 and 40 weeks in any 12-month period. Employees at a seasonal establishment shall not be paid unemployment benefits with respect to employment that was performed at a seasonal establishment during the establishment's operating season, if (i) his employment terminated when the establishment's stated operating season expired, (ii) the employer notified the employee prior to commencing employment that he will be performing service in a seasonal establishment, and (iii) the employer posted notices that employees are performing service in a seasonal establishment. Any benefit charges assessable with respect to the employee that are due to other employment will not be the responsibility of the seasonal employer. Read the Bill »

Comments
I'm a CPA representing an out of state business which operates on a seasonal basis at college football games in Va. Since the employees, some of whom work only a few games, have figured out they can file for unemployment, it now falls to me to figure out how much to reduce the offered pay for all Va employees at these events to cover the increasing cost of their unemployment claims.
