How to Track Unemployment

The unemployment feature of Enterprise allows the tracking of all stages of the unemployment claim.  Included in this process is the documentation of the status, last job, job refusals, claim charges, etc.

Using the unemployment feature allows for better management of those who have filed for and have been granted unemployment, enabling job offers which will help to reduce the costs of unemployment insurance to your company. Making sure job offers are made to any employee who has filed an unemployment claim is important. It is recommended that a message be logged on any employee who has filed a claim, as well as when claims are approved and denied.
