MI SB1002

Eliminates the seasonal worker provisions from Michigan's unemployment compensation law, including the designation process for seasonal employers and restrictions on benefit eligibility during periods between seasonal work cycles.

Removes the requirement that seasonal employers notify employees of their seasonal worker status and the associated restrictions on unemployment benefits payable during off-season periods.

Removes seasonal worker exclusions from the definition of "participating employee" in shared-work plans, allowing seasonal workers to potentially participate in work-sharing unemployment compensation programs.

Simplifies unemployment compensation eligibility by eliminating the complex seasonal employment framework that previously limited when benefits could be claimed between successive seasonal work periods.
