This course is designed for human resources and management personnel.

Our Washington State unemployment rate inched up to 9.3% in June 2009, up from 5.2% in June 2008. With this increase, you are probably one of many Washington State employers that are responding to a larger number of unemployment claims than a year ago. Understanding Washington's unemployment insurance system is key in controlling your organization's experience rating and tax rate. This course gives you the knowledge and tools you need to take control and give you confidence in the management of your unemployment claims.

Topics that will be covered in this Webinar include:

• The process a claim goes through, and how your organization can and should be involved
• The basics of what allows and what disqualifies a claimant from receiving benefits - what constitutes "good cause" to quit and "misconduct" in the eyes of the Employment Security Department
• Strategies to use when a claim goes to the appeal process
• Sample letters and tools to use in your communications with the Employment Security Department

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Summarize key terms surrounding the Washington unemployment insurance tax system
• Recognize and correct misconceptions about unemployment compensation in Washington
• Prepare an appropriate and effective response to unemployment claim filings and liability notices
• More effectively represent your organization before an Administrative Law Judge in the appeals process
