710.4
. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 709, any public
school employer, as defined in Section 3540.1 of the Government Code,
may elect to become an employer subject to Part 2 (commencing with
Section 2601) of this division, with respect to all employees who are
a part of an appropriate unit established pursuant to the provisions
of Chapter 10.7 (commencing with Section 3540) of Division 4 of
Title 1 of the Government Code, provided such election is the result
of a negotiated agreement between the public school employer and the
certified employee organization, as such terms are defined in Section
3540.1 of the Government Code. The public school employer may elect
to provide coverage to its management and confidential employees, as
such terms are defined in Section 3540.1 of the Government Code, and
to employees not a part of an appropriate unit, but such election
shall not be contingent upon coverage of other employees of the
public school employer.
Upon filing of such an election, the filing entity shall, upon
approval by the director, become an employer subject to Part 2
(commencing with Section 2601) of this division to the same extent as
other employers, and services performed by its employees, including
those with civil service or tenure positions, shall constitute
employment subject to such part. Beginning at that time, the public
school employer shall withhold from the wages of employees the
contributions required for unemployment compensation disability
benefits.
