AI Summary
- Encourages stakeholders in Illinois's unemployment insurance system to extend the time period employers have to evaluate new employees before their experience rating is affected
- Current law permits employers only 30 working days to review new employee performance before affecting the employer's experience rating and unemployment insurance tax rate
- Proposes consideration of a longer period, such as 90 days, to reduce the disincentive to hiring faced by small businesses
- Asserts that the short evaluation period disproportionately impacts small businesses, as a single employee termination represents a larger percentage of their workforce than for large businesses
- Clarifies that extending the evaluation period would not affect the number of unemployment benefits weeks an employee is entitled to receive
