Work Related / Open New UI Claim Monday, NOT Sunday
February 17, 2024, 02:16:28 AM
If you have to open a new claim for Presidents Week do it on Monday, not this Sunday, (as I heard someone being told). Unemployment week is from Monday to Sunday so this Sunday you would be claiming for this week which you just worked, capeesh? Can't do that.

You can open a new claim Monday or any day during the coming week. You will be told to certify a week from this Wednesday but you can do it  Sunday the 25th.

Work Related / Public School Year Calendar Revised
February 02, 2024, 04:05:38 PM
It came to my attention that the 2023-2024 School year calendar has been revised to add 3 days off this spring for PUBLIC schools. They are Monday, April 1 ... the day after Easter ... and Monday April 29 and Tuesday April 30 to extend Spring Recess (Passover) which is the previous week.

Here's the revised calendar. This link will be at the top of the "Reference Topics" board >>> https://cdn-blob-prd.azureedge.net/prd-pws/docs/default-source/default-document-library/school-year-2023-24-calendar-corrected.pdf?sfvrsn=a8e6eb7e_2

Work Related / CHECK YOUR BUS!!!
January 23, 2024, 03:07:16 PM
Well I understand that one of us left his morning school without making sure all the kids were off the bus. After a hearing I'm sure there will be a hefty suspension ... at the very least.

At least he didn't leave the bus (far as I know) and won't be arrested and lose his job ... as has happened in the past. It takes 10 seconds.

CHECK YOUR BUS!!

Apparently until the end of November the "under the hood" part of the CDL test will be suspended for a special school bus driver classification. The purpose is to help the school bus driver shortage.

What I don't get, if I'm understanding it correctly, is that you cannot renew this "S1" restriction unless you get a permit and take a full CDL road test. (See the 6th bullet under "Key points of the FMCSA exemption" on the link below.) Seriously? What the hell is the point?

Work Related / Unemployment 1099s
January 18, 2024, 01:26:18 AM
As was the case last year, you no longer have to call unemployment to get a 1099 mailed to you. It will be sent automatically.

From the unemployment website ...

In January 2024, NYS DOL will automatically mail 1099-G tax forms to individuals who were paid benefits in 2023. These forms will be sent to customers' addresses on file.

So sorry to report that I just got word from the office that Lou Gallo passed today. I'll post details when I get them, this is still brand new. I'm going to miss Lou. He was a great guy.
