Section 12-5-171 - Submittal and approval of coverage election under the arrangement(a) Any employing unit may file an election, on a form provided or approved by the elected jurisdiction, to cover under the law of a single participating jurisdiction all of the services performed for such employing unit by any individual who customarily works for such employing unit in more than one participating jurisdiction. Such an election may be filed, with respect to an individual, with any participating jurisdiction in which:
(1) Any part of the individual's services are performed; or(2) The individual has residence; or(3) The employing unit maintains a place of business to which the individual's services bear a reasonable relation.(b) The agency of the elected jurisdiction (thus selected and determined) shall initially approve or disapprove the election. If such agency approves the election, it shall forward a copy thereof to the agency of each other participating jurisdiction specified thereon, under whose unemployment compensation law the individual or individuals in question might, in the absence of such election, be covered. Each such interested agency shall approve or disapprove the election, as promptly as practicable; and shall notify the agency of the elected jurisdiction accordingly.
In case its law so requires, any such interested agency may, before taking such action, require from the electing employing unit satisfactory evidence that the affected employees have been notified of, and have acquiesced in, the election.
(c) If the agency of the elected jurisdiction, or the agency of any interested jurisdiction, disapproves the election, the disapproving agency shall notify the elected jurisdiction and the electing employing unit of its action and of its reasons thereof.(d) Such an election shall take effect as to the elected jurisdiction only if approved by its agency and by one or more interested agencies.(e) An election thus approved shall take effect, as to any interested agency, only if it is approved by such agency.(f) In case any such election is approved only in part, or is disapproved by some of such agencies, the electing employing unit may withdraw its election within ten days after being notified of such action.[Eff. 6/26/81] (Auth: HRS § 383-92) (Imp: HRS §§ 383-92, 383-106, 383-108)
