Required Notice to Non-Covered Workers

If an employee of a church, religious order, or 501(c)(3) (not-for-profit) organization is exempt from unemployment insurance coverage as defined under Employment Security law, Missouri Revised Statutes section 288.041 requires a written notice from the employer to the exempted worker. The notice must state that wages earned by the individual will not be used to determine insured worker status for unemployment benefits. The notice must be provided to each exempt individual at the time of initial employment or upon a change in the employing unit's status regarding liability for unemployment insurance coverage.
