Topic Background:-

For some organizations unemployment insurance (UI) taxes are a nuisance; for others, UI taxes are a significant cost; and increasingly for most employers, UI claims increasingly represent a liability that sets the stage for significant other liabilities. As a result, there is a heightened interest in effective UI cost management techniques and an increasing desire to understand how unemployment decisions affect other objectives.

Why Should You Attend:-

Employer-paid unemployment insurance taxes and costs, while lower now than they were a few years ago, still represent a potentially significant employment liability. And as state taxable wage bases increase, higher UI tax liabilities are expected. Importantly, higher tax liabilities will have an ongoing impact on employers’ liabilities and profitability.

This webinar provides an update of federal and state UI issues, assesses the risks and costs associated with UI taxes and benefits, and discusses effective UI tax management and cost control techniques. Additionally, the webinar discusses key employment practices and liabilities affected by UI cost control techniques.

• HR managers
