Section 702.1 Of Article 4. Elective Coverage From California Unemployment Insurance Code >> Division 1. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 4.
702.1
. (a) As used in this section, "nonprofit organization" means
any corporation, community chest, fund, or foundation for which
services that constitute employment under Section 608 are performed
and for which other services that do not constitute employment are
performed, or any nonprofit organization described in Section 608 for
which all services performed do not constitute employment.
(b) No election filed by a nonprofit organization under Section
702 shall be effective for service performed after December 31, 1971.
All elections for coverage filed by a nonprofit organization under
Section 702 prior to January 1, 1972, shall be terminated effective
December 31, 1971.
(c) Any nonprofit organization for which any services that do not
constitute employment are performed may, when requested by a written
petition signed by a majority of its employees to be covered by the
election, file with the director a written election that the services
performed in one or more distinct establishments or places of
business and to be covered by the election shall be deemed to
constitute employment by an employer for all the purposes of this
division for not less than two calendar years. If the director finds
that a majority of the employees to be covered by the election have
signed the petition, a nonprofit organization shall, upon the written
approval of the director, become an employer with respect to such
services subject to this division to the same extent as other
employers, and services performed by its employees covered by the
election, shall constitute employment subject to this division.
Beginning at that time it shall withhold from the wages of employees
covered by the election the contributions required for unemployment
compensation disability benefits.
(d) A nonprofit organization may exclude from coverage under an
election pursuant to this section any service excluded under Section
634.5.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (d), a nonprofit
organization shall not exclude from unemployment compensation
disability coverage under an election pursuant to this section any
service that is included in "employment" for the purposes of Part 2
(commencing with Section 2601) of this division.
(f) In lieu of the contributions required of employers, each
nonprofit organization that has elected coverage under this section
may elect any method of financing coverage by an election under this
section that is permitted under Section 803. Subdivision (c) of
Section 801 shall apply to any such election under Section 803.
(g) Except as inconsistent with the provisions of this section,
the provisions of this division and authorized regulations shall
apply to any matter arising pursuant to this section.
