Unemployment compensation-seasonal employers.
SF 48 establishes rules for Wyoming employers operating seasonally, allowing the Department of Workforce Services to formally designate qualifying businesses (those operating for 3+ years with recurring short-term active periods under 30 weeks yearly). It prevents unemployment benefits for employees during gaps between consecutive seasonal work periods if they have "reasonable assurance" of returning to the same employer. Employers must notify all employees in writing about this designation and display notices prominently during active seasons. The law applies to benefit claims filed on or after October 1, 2019, and excludes certain industries (like specific NAICS codes) and employers with delinquent tax accounts.
