To Employees:	
• 	 Your Employer 	is registered with the Florida Department of Revenue as an employer who is	
liable under the Florida Reemployment Assistance Law. This means that 	Yo u	, as employees, 	
are covered by the Reemployment Assistance Program, formerly known as Unemployment 
Compensation Program.	
• 	 Reemployment assistance taxes 	finance the benefits paid to eligible unemployed workers.	 	
Those taxes are paid by your employer and, by law, cannot be deducted from

5.  	You must be 	Able	 to work and 	Available	 for work.	
• 	You may file a claim for partial unemployment for any week you work less than full time due to 
lack of work if your wages during that week are less than your weekly benefit amount.	
• 	You must report all earnings while claiming benefits. Failure to do so is a third-degree felony 
with a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment and a $5,000 fine.

penalty period 	AND	 remain in effect until a set amount of wages have been earned with new
