PA Unem Comp Question

deniseE

Can anyone verify that "upper management" is ineligible for UC benefits based upon their decision making capacity within a business?

The only exception I've found so far is for someone deemed to be "self-employed".

Thanks!

I don't think that is correct. Our previous Executive Director applied and received UC.

You've probably already been over their site, but here's the link just in case.

I have drawn unemployment compensation on three different RIF events. If a senior executive is an owner, he/she may not be able to draw U/E for they may fall into the self employed arena. If your payroll system extracts or pays out premium payments on behalf of the employee they would be entitled to U/E payments.

Denise,
I just received a BLR state of PA update and one of the laws was unemployment comp. In the Exceptions to Coverage list, it does not include any reference to Upper Management being ineligible. I can fax this to you if you'd like.

Whoever told you that is dead wrong.
