THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

     Sec 27c. Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, for

noncharging the account of that employer for that week and for the

remaining weeks of the benefit year for benefits payable to that

claimant that would otherwise be charged to the employer's account.

For benefit years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, benefits

payable to an individual for a week and for each remaining payable

week in the benefit year shall be charged to the nonchargeable

contributing base period employer at least equal to the employer's

benefit charges for that individual for the week.

     (b) A contributing base period employer timely protests a

determination charging benefits to its account for a week in which

the employer paid gross wages to the individual at least equal to

the employer's charges for benefits paid to that individual for

that week.
