§ 27-3-805 — Modification of an approved short time compensation plan

(a) An employer may request a substantial modification of
an approved short time compensation plan by submitting a written
request to the department. The request shall specify the
proposed provisions to be modified and explain why the
modification is appropriate. Subject to subsection (b) of this
section, the director shall approve or deny in writing the
proposed modification within twenty (20) days of receipt and
promptly notify the employer.
(b) The director may approve a substantial modification
request under subsection (a) of this section based on conditions
that have changed since the short time compensation plan was
originally approved provided that the modification is consistent
with and supports the purposes for which the plan was initially
approved. A modification shall not extend the expiration date of
the original plan. If the director approves a substantial plan
modification request, the effective date of the modification
shall be included in the notice provided to the employer.
(c) An insubstantial plan modification shall not require
director approval but the employer shall promptly report every
change to the plan in writing to the director. If the director
determines that the reported change is substantial, the
department shall require the employer to submit a substantial
plan modification request. The director may revoke an employer's
plan if the employer fails to meet the reporting requirement
under this subsection.
