Section R6-3-1408 - Seasonal Employment Status; Qualified Transient Lodging Employment

A. As used in A.R.S. § 23-793:

1. A "full-time equivalent" means the number of hours in the employing unit's normal work week the employing unit considers a full-time work week, or 40 hours, whichever is less.

2. "1-year period prior to such slowdown" means the 52 completed calendar weeks immediately preceding the start date of the anticipated slowdown period.

3. "Previous year" means the same as "1-year period prior to such slowdown."

B. For the purpose of A.R.S. § 23-793(B), an application is the form provided by the Department and available to the employer at any unemployment insurance office of the Department or from any unemployment insurance tax representative. The employer shall provide the following information:

1. Identifying information, including the federal employer identification number and transient lodging privilege license number;

2. The anticipated period of the substantial slowdown of operations, the reason for the anticipated slowdown, and the expected number of full-time equivalents in the workforce during the slowdown;

3. The previous year's slowdown period, the reason for the slowdown, and the number of full-time equivalents in the employer's workforce in the 12 highest weeks of unemployment during the previous year; and

4. A copy of the employer's written notice to employees that the employment is seasonal.

C. Notwithstanding the Department's approval of the employer's application, the Department shall not deny a worker, who has filed a claim for benefits during a substantial slowdown period, the use of wages earned from the employer if the employer, in response to the Department's notice that the worker has filed a claim for benefits, does not provide written information that the worker is unemployed due solely to the substantial slowdown in operations within 10 days of the notice date.
