Learn From Our UI Experts

Understanding the ins and outs of unemployment insurance (UI) can be difficult – especially for employers. It’s complicated to keep track of all the specific laws which govern the UI process. Many HR professionals discover that they lack the knowledge and tools to protest unnecessary UI charges as their employers consistently look for cost cutting measures, enter the UI experts.

Todd Cohen, one of the UI experts from Industrial U.I. Services, will be presenting at the HRSouthwest Conference on Monday, October 2, 2017 at 2pm. He will be giving an overview of unemployment insurance law for employers, including how the UI tax rate is calculated, the difference between an experience rated or benefit reimbursed employer and other related topics.

An employer’s UI tax rate is controllable with proper management and a deeper understanding of the “rules of the game.” During this session, attendees will discuss the UI laws, how the benefit and tax rates are calculated, how to know if organizations should pay tax or reimburse the state dollar for dollar, and the mechanisms for properly protesting claims.
