Title

Unemployment compensation, substitute employees of schools, exempt from collecting, Sec. 25-4-10 am'd.

Summary

HB526 would exclude substitute school workers from being counted as 'employment' for unemployment compensation purposes in Alabama.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 25-4-10 to add an exemption stating that services performed as a substitute employee in a school are not 'employment' for unemployment compensation purposes. As a result, substitute teachers and similar school substitutes would not be eligible for unemployment benefits based on those substitute services. The change could affect how schools and other employers handle unemployment insurance considerations for substitutes, and the act becomes law on the first day of the third month after it is passed and approved.

Who It Affects

• Substitute employees in schools (such as substitute teachers) would not be counted as employment for unemployment compensation purposes in connection with their substitute work.
• School districts, schools, and organizations that hire substitutes would have that substitute labor not treated as unemployment-covered employment for UC purposes, potentially affecting unemployment insurance considerations for those workers.

Key Provisions

• Adds an exemption to Section 25-4-10: services performed as a substitute employee in a school shall not be considered 'employment' for purposes of unemployment compensation.
• Section 2: The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor.
