  197  and the employing unit discharges the individual for reasons
  198  other than misconduct before the date the voluntary quit was to
  199  take effect, the individual, if otherwise entitled, shall
  200  receive benefits from the date of the employer’s discharge until
  201  the effective date of his or her voluntary quit.

  217  substantiated by evidence that reasonably proves that domestic
  218  violence has occurred, such as an injunction, protective order,
  219  or other such reasonable and confidential documentation
  220  authorized by state law.
  221         Section 3. Paragraph (a) of subsection (1), subsection (2),
  222  and paragraph (f) of subsection (13) of section 443.1216,
  223  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

  225  is subject to this chapter under the following conditions:
  226         (1)(a) The employment subject to this chapter includes a
  227  service performed, including a service performed in interstate
  228  commerce, by:
  229         1. An officer of a corporation.
  230         2. An individual who, under the usual common-law rules
  231  applicable for in determining the employer-employee
  232  relationship, is an employee. However, if whenever a client who,
  233  as defined in s. 443.036(18), which would otherwise be
  234  designated as an employing unit has contracted with an employee
  235  leasing company to supply it with workers, those workers are
  236  considered employees of the employee leasing company. An
  237  employee leasing company may lease corporate officers of the
  238  client to the client and other workers to the client, except as
  239  prohibited by regulations of the Internal Revenue Service.
  240  Employees of an employee leasing company must be reported under
  241  the employee leasing company’s tax identification number and
  242  contribution rate for work performed for the employee leasing
  243  company.
  244         a. However, except for the internal employees of an
  245  employee leasing company, each employee leasing company may make
  246  a separate one-time election to report and pay contributions
  247  under the tax identification number and contribution rate for
  248  each client of the employee leasing company. Under the client
  249  method, an employee leasing company choosing this option must
  250  assign leased employees to the client company that is leasing
  251  the employees. The client method is solely a method to report
  252  and pay unemployment contributions, and, whichever method is
  253  chosen, such election may not impact any other aspect of state
  254  law. An employee leasing company that elects the client method
  255  must pay contributions at the rates assigned to each client
  256  company.
  257         (I) The election applies to all of the employee leasing
  258  company’s current and future clients.
  259         (II) The employee leasing company must notify the
  260  Department of Revenue of its election by July 1, 2012, and such
  261  election applies to reports and contributions for the first
  262  quarter of the following calendar year. The notification must
  263  include:
  264         (A) A list of each client company and the unemployment
  265  account number or, if one has not yet been issued, the federal
  266  employment identification number, as established by the employee
  267  leasing company upon the election to file by client method;
  268         (B) A list of each client company’s current and previous
  269  employees and their respective social security numbers for the
  270  prior 3 state fiscal years or, if the client company has not
  271  been a client for the prior 3 state fiscal years, such portion
  272  of the prior 3 state fiscal years that the client company has
  273  been a client must be supplied;
  274         (C) The wage data and benefit charges associated with each
  275  client company for the prior 3 state fiscal years or, if the
  276  client company has not been a client for the prior 3 state
  277  fiscal years, such portion of the prior 3 state fiscal years
  278  that the client company has been a client must be supplied. If
  279  the client company’s employment record is chargeable with
  280  benefits for less than 8 calendar quarters while being a client
  281  of the employee leasing company, the client company must pay
  282  contributions at the initial rate of 2.7 percent; and
  283         (D) The wage data and benefit charges for the prior 3 state
  284  fiscal years that cannot be associated with a client company
  285  must be reported and charged to the employee leasing company.
  286         (III) Subsequent to choosing the client method, the
  287  employee leasing company may not change its reporting method.
  288         (IV) The employee leasing company shall file a Florida
  289  Department of Revenue Employer’s Quarterly Report for each
  290  client company by approved electronic means, and pay all
  291  contributions by approved electronic means.
  292         (V) For the purposes of calculating experience rates when
  293  the client method is chosen, each client’s own benefit charges
  294  and wage data experience while with the employee leasing company
  295  determines each client’s tax rate where the client has been a
  296  client of the employee leasing company for at least 8 calendar
  297  quarters before the election. The client company shall continue
  298  to report the nonleased employees under its tax rate.
  299         (VI) The election is binding on each client of the employee
  300  leasing company for as long as a written agreement is in effect
  301  between the client and the employee leasing company pursuant to
  302  s. 468.525(3)(a). If the relationship between the employee
  303  leasing company and the client terminates, the client retains
  304  the wage and benefit history experienced under the employee
  305  leasing company.
  306         (VII) Notwithstanding which election method the employee
  307  leasing company chooses, the applicable client company is an
  308  employing unit for purposes of s. 443.071. The employee leasing
  309  company or any of its officers or agents are liable for any
  310  violation of s. 443.071 engaged in by such persons or entities.
  311  The applicable client company or any of its officers or agents
  312  are liable for any violation of s. 443.071 engaged in by such
  313  persons or entities. The employee leasing company or its
  314  applicable client company is not liable for any violation of s.
  315  443.071 engaged in by the other party or by the other party’s
  316  officers or agents.
  317         (VIII) If an employee leasing company fails to select the
  318  client method of reporting not later than July 1, 2012, the
  319  entity is required to report under the employee leasing
  320  company’s tax identification number and contribution rate.
  321         (IX) After an employee leasing company is licensed pursuant
  322  to part XI of chapter 468, each newly licensed entity has 30
  323  days after the date the license is granted to notify the tax
  324  collection service provider in writing of their selection of the
  325  client method. A newly licensed employee leasing company that
  326  fails to timely select reporting pursuant to the client method
  327  of reporting must report under the employee leasing company’s
  328  tax identification number and contribution rate.
  329         (X) Irrespective of the election, each transfer of trade or
  330  business, including workforce, or a portion thereof, between
  331  employee leasing companies is subject to the provisions of s.
  332  443.131(3)(g) if, at the time of the transfer, there is common
  333  ownership, management, or control between the entities.
  334         b. In addition to any other report required to be filed by
  335  law, an employee leasing company shall submit a report to the
  336  Labor Market Statistics Center within the Department of Economic
  337  Opportunity which includes each client establishment and each
  338  establishment of the leasing company, or as otherwise directed
  339  by the department. The report must include the following

  343  available;

  380         d. The department shall adopt rules as necessary to
  381  administer this subparagraph, and may administer, collect,
  382  enforce, and waive the penalty imposed by s. 443.141(1)(b) for
  383  the report required by this subparagraph.
  384         e. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the term
  385  “establishment” means any location where business is conducted
  386  or where services or industrial operations are performed.
  387         3. An individual other than an individual who is an
  388  employee under subparagraph 1. or subparagraph 2., who performs
  389  services for remuneration for any person:
  390         a. As an agent-driver or commission-driver engaged in
  391  distributing meat products, vegetable products, fruit products,
  392  bakery products, beverages other than milk, or laundry or
  393  drycleaning services for his or her principal.
  394         b. As a traveling or city salesperson engaged on a full
  395  time basis in the solicitation on behalf of, and the
  396  transmission to, his or her principal of orders from
  397  wholesalers, retailers, contractors, or operators of hotels,
  398  restaurants, or other similar establishments for merchandise for
  399  resale or supplies for use in the business operations. This sub
  400  subparagraph does not apply to an agent-driver or a commission
  401  driver, or and does not apply to sideline sales activities
  402  performed on behalf of a person other than the salesperson’s
  403  principal.
  404         4. The services described in subparagraph 3. are employment
  405  subject to this chapter only if:
  406         a. The contract of service contemplates that substantially
  407  all of the services are to be performed personally by the
  408  individual;
  409         b. The individual does not have a substantial investment in
  410  facilities used in connection with the services, other than
  411  facilities used for transportation; and
  412         c. The services are not in the nature of a single
  413  transaction that is not part of a continuing relationship with
  414  the person for whom the services are performed.
  415         (2) The employment subject to this chapter includes service
  416  performed in the employ of a public employer as defined in s.
  417  443.036, if the service is excluded from the definition of
  418  “employment” in s. 3306(c)(7) of the Federal Unemployment Tax
  419  Act and is not excluded from the employment subject to this
  420  chapter under subsection (4).
  421         (13) The following are exempt from coverage under this
  422  chapter:
  423         (f) Service performed in the employ of a public employer as
  424  defined in s. 443.036, except as provided in subsection (2), and
  425  service performed in the employ of an instrumentality of a
  426  public employer as described in s.443.036(36)(b) or (c), to the
  427  extent that the instrumentality is immune under the United
  428  States Constitution from the tax imposed by s. 3301 of the
  429  Internal Revenue Code for that service.
  430         Section 4. Paragraph (f) of subsection (3) of section
  431  443.131, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  432         443.131 Contributions.—
  433         (3) VARIATION OF CONTRIBUTION RATES BASED ON BENEFIT
  434  EXPERIENCE.—
  435         (f) Transfer of employment records.—
  436         1. For the purposes of this subsection, two or more
  437  employers who are parties to a transfer of business or the
  438  subject of a merger, consolidation, or other form of
  439  reorganization, effecting a change in legal identity or form,
  440  are deemed a single employer and are considered to be one
  441  employer with a continuous employment record if the tax
  442  collection service provider finds that the successor employer
  443  continues to carry on the employing enterprises of all of the
  444  predecessor employers, and that the successor employer has paid
  445  all contributions required of and due from all of the
  446  predecessor employers, and has assumed liability for all
  447  contributions that may become due from all of the predecessor
  448  employers. In addition, An employer may not be considered a
  449  successor under this subparagraph if the employer purchases a
  450  company with a lower rate into which employees with job
  451  functions unrelated to the business endeavors of the predecessor
  452  are transferred for the purpose of acquiring the low rate and
  453  avoiding payment of contributions. As used in this paragraph,
  454  Notwithstanding s. 443.036(14), the term “contributions,as
  455  used in this paragraph, means all indebtedness to the tax
  456  collection service provider, including, but not limited to,
  457  interest, penalty, collection fee, and service fee.
  458         2. A successor employer must accept the transfer of all of
  459  the predecessor employers’ employment records within 30 days
  460  after the date of the official notification of liability by
  461  succession. If a predecessor employer has unpaid contributions
  462  or outstanding quarterly reports, the successor employer must
  463  pay the total amount with certified funds within 30 days after
  464  the date of the notice listing the total amount due. After the
  465  total indebtedness is paid, the tax collection service provider
  466  shall transfer the employment records of all of the predecessor
  467  employers to the successor employer’s employment record. The tax
  468  collection service provider shall determine the contribution
  469  rate of the combined successor and predecessor employers upon
  470  the transfer of the employment records, as prescribed by rule,
  471  in order to calculate any change in the contribution rate
  472  resulting from the transfer of the employment records.
  473         3.2. Regardless of whether a predecessor employer’s
  474  employment record is transferred to a successor employer under
  475  this paragraph, the tax collection service provider shall treat
  476  the predecessor employer, if he or she subsequently employs
  477  individuals, as an employer without a previous employment record
  478  or, if his or her coverage is terminated under s. 443.121, as a
  479  new employing unit.
  480         4.3. The state agency providing reemployment assistance tax
  481  collection services may adopt rules governing the partial
  482  transfer of experience rating when an employer transfers an
  483  identifiable and segregable portion of his or her payrolls and
  484  business to a successor employing unit. As a condition of each
  485  partial transfer, these rules must require the following to be
  486  filed with the tax collection service provider: an application
  487  by the successor employing unit, an agreement by the predecessor
  488  employer, and the evidence required by the tax collection
  489  service provider to show the benefit experience and payrolls
  490  attributable to the transferred portion through the date of the
  491  transfer. These rules must provide that the successor employing
  492  unit, if not an employer subject to this chapter, becomes an
  493  employer as of the date of the transfer and that the transferred
  494  portion of the predecessor employer’s employment record is
  495  removed from the employment record of the predecessor employer.
  496  For each calendar year after the date of the transfer of the
  497  employment record in the records of the tax collection service
  498  provider, the service provider shall compute the contribution
  499  rate payable by the successor employer or employing unit based
  500  on his or her employment record, combined with the transferred
  501  portion of the predecessor employer’s employment record. These
  502  rules may also prescribe what contribution rates are payable by
  503  the predecessor and successor employers for the period between
  504  the date of the transfer of the transferred portion of the
  505  predecessor employer’s employment record in the records of the
  506  tax collection service provider and the first day of the next
  507  calendar year.
  508         5.4. This paragraph does not apply to an employee leasing
  509  company and client contractual agreement as defined in s.
  510  443.036, except as provided in s. 443.1216(1)(a)2.a. The tax
  511  collection service provider shall, if the contractual agreement
  512  is terminated or the employee leasing company fails to submit
  513  reports or pay contributions as required by the service
  514  provider, treat the client as a new employer without previous
  515  employment record unless the client is otherwise eligible for a
  516  variation from the standard rate.
  517         Section 5. This act shall take effect July 1, 2013.
  518
