The formula for Florida apparently does not depend on whether you worked full or part time. It depends on total time and earnings thus: It involves the first 4 quarters of the last 5 quarters from the time you file. This is known as the "base period". You had to have worked in at least 2 quarters in that base period. The total earnings you made in the base period have to be 1 1/2 times the earnings in the quarter with the highest earnings and the total for the base period had to equal or exceed $3400. See the Related Link below for more details.
Unemployment compensation is not taken out of paychecks of the workers. The business pays a payroll tax to the state who uses part of the the proceeds to pay unemployment benefits.
Unemployment compensation
Each state has its own formula for determining how much you can earn and still receive a partial unemployment compensation. In most cases there will be a deferential payment, but it depends on the difference and what the minimum payment they pay.
Normally in the U.S. the unemployment rate is measured by the number of people filing for and receiving unemployment compensation. However, many failed to find employment before their unemployment compensation expired, or they had to settle for part-time employment or a job that pays less than that for which they are trained and experienced. The determination of the true unemployment rate involves the endeavor to count those people as well.
NO. The unemployment compensation program is NOT a part of the social security and medicare insurance program.
The Unemployment Compensation provisions have undergone many changes through the years; and, the procedures for qualifying for eligibility have been revised as well, varying in one manner or another from state to state. The best resource you have is the local unemployment office for the state in which you now reside. If it is different from that where you were laid-off, you are still considered unemployed until you attain employment status; and, if you expect to be considered eligible for benefits, you need to meet their criteria, the first part of which is registration. It is not customarily a mandatory provision for receiving unemployment benefits that you refrain from changing your residence to anywhere other than out-of-country or prison, in which case you would no longer qualify.Interstate Unemployment BenefitsYes, you can continue to collect benefits from the state in which you originally filed your claim. Unemployment benefits are not public assistance, you worked for it, it is your money.Your new state of residency does not pay the benefits, they will come from the state in which you were eligible, but you will still need to follow the requirements for eligibility.Contact the office of the state agency that handles unemployment benefits in the state where you relocate as soon as possible to avoid a delay in receiving your benefits.
i understand that in fl i am not required to carry workmans compensation for my tree service when i only have 2 part time employees
According to the Related Link below, your unemployment benefit cannot be garnished before receiving it but, apparently the account it's deposited in, can be, especially if it is commingled with other funds.
It's not a matter of whether you work as a consultant but whether you meet all the tests for eligibility of unemployment benefits. Part time work may be permissible, depending on earnings versus benefits, etc.
Probably not because you are supposed to be seeking full time work for which you are reasonably qualified. For more details see the Related Link below.
I assume you are referring to the fact that the unemployment rate reported by the government is the amount of people who are looking for jobs but unable to find them and suggesting that the "real" unemployment rate is how many people actually are not working. There are actually a few different measures for this, which are displayed neatly in a few graphs on the link I'm attaching. No one can say what the "real" unemployment rate is, mainly because of the way the unemployment rate is really calculated. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the American people who are drawing unemployment insurance. It doesn't include people whose unemployment insurance has run out, people who have removed themselves voluntarily from the employment pool (stay at home mothers, people living on trust funds, etc.) and people who haven't ever been employed. A rough estimate is to take the "unemployment rate" and double it.
The Unemployment Compensation Law passed in 1935. Specifically, it was P.L. 74-271, approved August 14, 1935 (HR 7260) as part of the Social Security Act.
