Training Seminars

The effectiveness of any Cost Control Program depends largely on the attitude and commitment of management to the program.  The purpose of these training seminars is to educate supervisory personnel on the fact that Unemployment Tax costs are controllable and how they can help.  Areas to be addressed are hiring practices, documentation and   termination procedures, as well as any problem areas determined in the INITIAL REVIEW that will serve to limit liabilities and reduce costs.  Training seminars are personalized to resolve individual problems.

Since Unemployment Cost Control is not a priority in your day-to-day business activities, various guides can be provided to members of your staff such as “The Managers Guide to Unemployment Cost Control”. 

Separation Reporting Procedures

Whether separation information is reported by one central source or by various members of management, the importance of accurate and timely information must be stressed.  The proper use of terminology will be explained and procedures will be implemented.

Terminology

In order to understand the basics of Unemployment Compensation, a full explanation of the terminology used by the state agency must be accomplished.  During the Training Seminars, the “Definition of Terms” will be presented and fully ingrained in the minds of management personnel.  Without this basic understanding of terms such as Base Period, Benefit Year, Liability and Disqualification little progress can be made in such critical areas as reducing turnover, probationary wage elimination and non-charging of benefits.
