DWD 120.03(1) (1) Under s. 108.02 (15) (k) 19., Stats., if an individual has received special written notice from an employer which has been designated by the department as a seasonal employer, work for that employer is excluded employment unless the individual is employed by the seasonal employer for at least 90 days in a season that includes any portion of the individual’s base period or the individual has earned at least $500 from another employer during the applicable base period. Failure to provide the special notice negates the exclusion and the employment is included in covered employment for unemployment insurance purposes.

DWD 120.03(2) (2) The special written notice shall be provided by the seasonal employer, on either the division’s form UCB-9381-P or an equivalent, prior to the individual’s performance of services. The special notice shall inform the employee of the possibility that wages earned in seasonal employment will be excluded from consideration when determining his or her eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits.
