Section 23:1533 - Experience rating records; administrator's duty to prepareA. The administrator shall prepare and maintain an experience rating record for each employer, and shall credit such record with all the contributions paid by him with respect to wages paid for each calendar quarter. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to grant any employer or any individual performing services for him prior claims or rights to amounts paid by the employer into the fund. The administrator shall terminate the experience rating record of an employer who has ceased to be subject to this Chapter, or may do so provided the employer has had no employment in this state for a period of three consecutive calendar years. Benefits accruing and paid to an individual in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter shall be charged against the experience rating records of his base-period employers subject to the following limitations: (1) Only those benefits paid to an individual in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 23:1611 through 1616 which are not reimbursed from federal funds shall be charged against the experience rating records of his base-period employers.(2) Benefits paid to an individual pursuant to R.S. 23:1635 shall not be charged against the experience rating records of a claimant's base-period employers if it is finally determined that such claimant was not entitled to such benefits.(3) Benefits paid to an individual who continues to remain in the employ of a base-period employer without a reduction in the number of hours worked or wages paid shall not be charged against the experience rating records of such employer.(4)(a) Benefits shall not be charged against the experience rating records of a claimant's base period employer if both of the following conditions are met: (i) Benefits are paid in a situation in which the unemployment is caused solely by an act or omission of any third party or parties, or solely by such act or omission in combination with an act of God or an act of war. The determination of the responsibility of any third party or parties shall be as determined by the Oil Pollution Act, 33 U.S.C.§ 2701, et seq.(ii) Reimbursement for such benefits shall have been paid by the responsible third party or parties into the Unemployment Trust Fund.(b) The amount owed by any responsible third party or parties shall equal the amount of regular and extended benefits paid to individuals as a result of the act or omission attributed to the responsible party or parties.(c) At the end of each calendar quarter, or at the end of any other period as the administrator may prescribe by regulation, the administrator shall charge the responsible party or parties accordingly.(d) This Paragraph is remedial and shall be retroactive to January 1, 2010.(5) Benefits paid to employees of experience-rated employers pursuant to Proclamations JBE 2020-27 and JBE 2020-29 shall not be charged against the experience rating records of a claimant's base period employer. If any federal funds, other than federal monies allocated to Louisiana pursuant to Section 5001 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, P.L. 116-136, are received specifically and only for reimbursement for benefits paid in accordance with these proclamations and otherwise chargeable to employers pursuant to this Section, such amount shall be applied toward the unemployment compensation trust fund.B. The amount so chargeable against each base-period employer's experience rating record shall bear the same ratio to the total benefits paid to an individual as the base-period wages paid to the individual by such employer bear to the total amount of base-period wages paid to the individual by all his base-period employers; provided, however, that all such charges may be computed to the nearest multiple of one dollar.C.
