Is it important to review payroll tax reporting activities in concert with UI claims administration?
One of the biggest problems with UI administration is the lack of expertise and guidance required to ensure that the SUI reporting platform is compliant. Claims responses can often trigger employment tax audits as a result of multiple SUI accounts active under one FEIN, poorly disclosed merger, acquisition and re-organizational activity can negatively impact the ability to handle an employer's successively.
Not only can such a review improve program compliance but these reviews can result in refunds and credits that would otherwise be lost to statute.
Contact your ETS relationship manager to inquire about employment tax compliance audits.

What is front loading in UI claims administration and is it a practice of UCM Plus?
Front loading is a practice that can create very desirable outcomes in minimizing benefit charge liability in the UI Claim administration process. Front loading is acquiring as much pertinent data up front in the claims protest process to ensure that the agency makes all submitted arguments and that the supporting documentation becomes part of the state record. Should a hearing take place downstream, the administrative law judge will have all the facts, which can make the difference in returning a favorable decision to the employer.
What is the best way to control UI costs?
Taking a proactive stance now can strongly influence downstream tax effects on SUI tax rates in the various jurisdictions. Benchmarking results from period to period will ensure that results are improving. There are over 30 charge exception areas from which employers can recover erroneous charges applied to an employer's account. ETS has a robust charge exception system that ensures that every charge to an employer's account is valid.
With so much downsizing how can we project the impact on UI taxes?
UCM Plus can help. We can project all potential related costs associated with a company's downsizing. Our system takes into account liability not only by the individual, but will also estimate the benefit and tax cost for the employing enterprise associated with the potential event.
With so many layoff claims is it worth fighting Unemployment at all?
Once the economy recovers, UI rates will recover as well, as a result of the UI funds being replenished with increased payroll contributions. Taking an aggressive stance today will help ensure that once more favorable tax rate schedules are being utilized at the state agency level, the employer's SUI rates will drop dramatically.
