Council Member Brewer on Section 1127 notification clarity for impacted employees
Brewer asks whether letters to Section 1127-impacted employees clearly explained the miscalculation and amounts. Commissioner Lee says DOF notified through multiple channels including letters, website, and coordination with OLR on labor unions, and Shear notes the business tax and collection system provides a platform for direct contact.
And then just lastly about the Section 1127 returns.
So when you sent out the letters to folks that were impacted, was it clearly outlined and explained what this letter was and how the amounts were calculated?
Only because I think we've been hearing feedback from folks that it just didn't seem clear and they weren't sure how the amounts were calculated.
I can go back to you on exactly the, you know, whether or not the exact calculations were indicated, but we have reached out through multiple ways to ensure that individuals do.
know that this was an errant calculation, that it was an errant benefit for the past couple years.
We have notified it through our website and our compensation process, and our calculation process, sorry.
And we provided letters, and we also worked closely with OLR to address it with their impacted labor unions.
I'm happy to have our first deputy commissioner, if I missed any specifics.
Well, I would just say that if anyone feels the letter was unclear or they want more information, we manage this through our business tax and collection system, and
it provides a platform for people to contact us directly.
There's a way for folks to get back to you.
Okay.
Yes, there is.
Okay.
