Most employers will pay the state $2.00—$5.00 for every dollar paid out to a former employee whose claim is charged back to their account. Managing every claim—and avoiding those that are unwarranted—is essential!

Unemployment is the only tax an employer can substantially control by how it handles employee separations and claims management. In 2011, Oregon employers will pay between $711 and $1,744 in unemployment tax per employee. In Washington, employers will pay between $183 and $2,238 per employee. The amount depends on how claims are managed and controlled.

This FREE workshop will give you the tools to better understand and manage unemployment claims and unemployment insurance tax rates:

• Understanding the rules and basis for tax rates
• Winning disputed claims
• Removing nonchargeable claims
• Avoiding and controlling claims
• Understanding workshare programs and their impact on tax rates
• Reducing tax rates and taxes paid

Each workshop participant will receive an audit of their most recent unemployment tax notice at no cost, so bring yours!
