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 	You	, 	
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 employee’s wages.

time due to lack of work if your wa	ges during that week are less than your weekly 	
benefit amount.

felony with a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment and a $5,000 fine.
