Section 27-3-805 - Modification of an approved short time compensation plan(a) An employer may request a substantial modification of an approved short time compensation plan by submitting a written request to the department. The request shall specify the proposed provisions to be modified and explain why the modification is appropriate. Subject to subsection (b) of this section, the director shall approve or deny in writing the proposed modification within twenty (20) days of receipt and promptly notify the employer.(b) The director may approve a substantial modification request under subsection (a) of this section based on conditions that have changed since the short time compensation plan was originally approved provided that the modification is consistent with and supports the purposes for which the plan was initially approved. A modification shall not extend the expiration date of the original plan. If the director approves a substantial plan modification request, the effective date of the modification shall be included in the notice provided to the employer.(c) An insubstantial plan modification shall not require director approval but the employer shall promptly report every change to the plan in writing to the director. If the director determines that the reported change is substantial, the department shall require the employer to submit a substantial plan modification request. The director may revoke an employer's plan if the employer fails to meet the reporting requirement under this subsection.Added by Laws 2021 , ch. 20, § 1, eff. 2/9/2021.
