Attention: Employers
A Notice of Development of Rulemaking was published for
proposed Rules 69L-6.028 and 69L-6.035, both for the Florida Administrative
Code. The notice provides that if requested in writing, a Rule Development
Workshop will be held on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, at 2:00 P.M., eastern time, at
2012 Capital Circle, SE, Room 102, Hartman Building, in Tallahassee, Florida.
Proposed Rule 69L-6.028, F.A.C., clarifies time periods
of employer non-compliance for penalty calculation purposes, and provides that
the Department may impute the employer's payroll 10 business days following the
employer's receipt of the Department's request to produce business records. The
amendment to Rule 69L-6.035, F.A.C., further defines remuneration to employees,
adding language to address the validation of expense reimbursements;
remuneration occurring on the day a stop-work order is issued; and employee
classification code assignments for payroll calculation purposes. The proposed
rules also delete obsolete language and include additional technical changes.
The official Notice of Development of Rulemaking appeared
in Volume 42, Number 94 (https://www.flrules.org/BigDoc/View_Faw.asp?IID=2113)
of the Florida Administrative Weekly, published on May 13, 2016. If you have
