Marriott: Pay employers for complying, rather than fines for not…

The motion to send SB 1369 to the amending order has been ruled appropriate. Rep. Jim Marriott, R-Blackfoot, said he'd like to see the bill amended to pay employers "for doing that, filling out that form," rather than fining them for not doing it. The bill would fine employers who, after a warning, still didn't comply with the law requiring them to report new hires, to prevent those workers from fraudulently continuing to collect unemployment benefits.
