Relief of Charges Not Available to Reimbursable Employers

Unlike the contributing employer, no relief of benefit costs, as outlined in Section 35A-4-307 of the Act, may be granted to reimbursable employers. These employers will have continuing liability for benefits for any employment in the base period. Therefore, if a worker quits or was fired by you and obtains subsequent work to purge the disqualification or potential disqualification, by earning 6 times the weekly benefit amount in bona fide covered employment, the claimant could file a new claim or reopen the claim previously filed. If otherwise eligible, this claimant could begin to receive unemployment benefits and you would then be liable for your share of the benefits paid.
