what is the Louisiana Employment Security Law?

Answer 1

The "Louisiana Employment Security Law" provides for unemployment compensation. All employers who paid $1,500 in wages during any quarter in the current or preceding year or employed at least one person, full time or part time, during twenty calendar weeks are covered. Covered employers must make contributions to the Louisiana Unemployment Trust Fund, from which eligible persons' benefits are drawn.

To qualify for unemployment benefits, a claimant must not be unemployed due to his or her "misconduct." Misconduct is based on the specific facts of each case, but has been found to include:
1. Refusing to follow a supervisor's direct orders;
2. Repeated tardiness;
3. Directing profane language at a supervisor;
4. Repeated absenteeism without notice or without good reason;
5. Leaving one's area of responsibility without first obtaining permission;
6. Deliverately violating an employer's reasonable rules of employment;
7. Refusing to submit to a drug test in accordance with company policy;
8. Working while under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
9. sleeping on the job; and
10. Theft of company property.

Additionally, a claimant must be able to work, available to work, conducting an active search for work, and unemployed for a waiting period of one week. In addition to misconduct, other reasons for disqualification from receiving unemployment compensation benefits include, but are not limited to:
1. Leaving a job without "good cause";
2. Failing to apply for or accept suitable work;
3. Failing to report to work because of involvement in a labor dispute;
4. Receiving or seeking unemployment benefits in another state;
5. Receiving vacation pay, holiday pay, severance pay, bonuses, wages in lieu of notice, payments under Workers' Compensation, or payment under a retirement or pension plan;
6. Fraudulently seeking or receiving benefits to which the employee is not entitled;
7. Being discharged for using illegal drugs. To use drug test results as evidence, employers must maintain a written drug testing policy, and the guidelines outlined in the section of this information dealing with drug testing must be followed.

While an employuer is not charged directly for the unemployment compensation benefits paid to its employees, the employer must contribute to the Unemployment Trust Fund at a predetermined rate based on experience. In other words, an employer with a high number of employees who are awarded unemployment benefits will finds its "experience rating" and consequently its contribution to the trust fund, increased the following year.

It is therefore in your best interest to ensure that employees who were terminated for misconduct are denied unemployment compensation benefits. This includes contesting an initial determination of benefits and appearing before an appeals referee to present the facts concerning the termination of employment.

Whoever knowingly makes a false statement to the unemployment agency in order to obtain or increase payments, or to avoid to reduce any contributions will be fined up to $1,000 or imprisoned up to ninety days, or both. Further, officers and directors having the responsibility of remitting contributions can be held personally liable for the total amount of the contributions not collected together with any interest, penalties, and fees accruing theron.

The answer to this question is dependent on where the conviction occurred and whether that jurisdiction has restoration of civil rights, including the right to carry a firearm. If the state has restoration available and the person convicted of a felony has had their rights restored, including the right to possess a firearm, then even federal law contains an exception that allows them to possess a gun. If they have not had their rights fully restored, then possessing a firearm may violate the law of the state, and definitely will be a violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(1) if the firearm moved in interstate commerce.
