As used in this section: (1) "Establishment" means an economic unit, generally at a single physical location, where business is conducted, or where services or industrial operations are performed, for example, a farm, factory, mill, store, or mine, or a central administrative office or auxiliary unit at a separate location from the economic unit served, except that if an employer maintains separate payroll and inventory records for separately classifiable activities conducted at a single location, including auxiliary activities such as a central administrative office or auxiliary unit performing supporting services for other economic units of the same employer but which is not an integral part of the economic unit at the same location, such activity shall be deemed a separate establishment.(2) "Primary Establishment" is the establishment with the largest employment. "Secondary establishments" are all other establishments of the employer.(3) "Multiple establishment employer" means an employer who has more than one establishment reporting under the same Unemployment Insurance Account Number within the State and has a total employment of ten or more in all of the secondary establishments combined.(4) "Number of Employees" as used in subdivisions (a)(1)(A)(1), (a)(4)(A)(1) and (c)(2) of Section 1088-1, means the number of full-time and part-time workers who worked during or received pay (subject to Unemployment Insurance wages) for the payroll period which includes the twelfth of the month, and includes, but is not limited to, the following categories of employees earning wages irrespective of whether such wages are actually or constructively paid during the applicable pay periods: (A) Officers of corporations;(C) Supervisory personnel;(F) Employees on paid vacations or paid sick leave;(G) Employees paid by salary, by the hour, on a piece rate, or by commission;(H) Part-time employees; and(I) Employees earning wages in excess of the limitation prescribed by Section 930 of the code.(5) "Number of Employees" does not include:(A) Employees who earned no wages during the applicable pay periods due to strikes, work stoppages, temporary layoffs, illness without pay, or vacations without pay;(B) Employees who earned wages at other times during the month but did not earn wages during the applicable pay periods which include the twelfth day of the month;(C) Individuals who earned remuneration for services not covered under the state Unemployment Insurance laws under the code; and(D) Individuals who earned remuneration for services not provided during the applicable pay period which include the twelfth day of the month, such as individuals who earn residual or royalty payments.(6) "Pay periods" means periods of not more than 31 consecutive days for which a payment of remuneration is ordinarily made to employees by the employer, and includes every type of pay period in actual use by a particular employer. EXAMPLE: Employers may have two or more types of pay periods for different categories of workers, such as daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. Under the above definition, in computing the "number of employees" in applicable "pay periods," each employer would include all employees earning wages on all types of payrolls for pay periods which include the twelfth day. For example, an employer who used daily, weekly, and semi-monthly payrolls as to different categories of workers would include all employees earning wages on the daily payroll for the twelfth day or the working day nearest thereto, the weekly payroll for the weekly pay period which includes the twelfth day, and the semi-monthly payroll for the semi-monthly pay period which includes the twelfth day.
(d) Extension of Time. The director may extend for good cause, not to exceed 60 days, the time for submission by an employer of a Multiple Worksite Report required under this section.(e) Delinquent or Deficient Reports. If any employer fails to submit to the department any report within the time required by this section, or if the department is not satisfied with any report submitted by an employer under this section, the department may demand, by written notice, that a report be submitted or that the deficiency in a report submitted shall be corrected by the employer. Within 30 days after the date of the mailing of such written notice, the employer shall, submit the report or corrected report to the department.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 1088-8
