I was at a meeting yesterday of a professional associate of which I am a member. It is the Illinois Search and Staffing Association. See: http://issaworks.com/ The meeting seminar was titled: Unemployment Insurance Workshop "Meeting Business Needs" The workshop covered:
• "How To" Guide to completing the UI Protest, BIS Form 32: Understanding the unemployment process and all you ever wanted to know about effectively completing BIS Form 32 but didn’t know whom to ask. You will have the opportunity to discuss the BIS Form 32 with a subject matter expert.
• Work Opportunity Tax Credit: Learn how to reduce the cost of doing business, while helping those most in need gain valuable work experience. These incentives start at $2,400, and could amount to as much as $9,000 in tax credits for one individual hire from the IRS.
• Re-Entry Employment Services Program: The RESP is designed to help reduce recidivism in Illinois.
• Role Plays of Actual Cases: This is a fun and interactive way to better understand the complicated cases involving unemployment. This method also helps employers better prepare for unemployment hearings and provides an awareness of the hearing process.
• Illinois Skills Match: Ever wish for a simple way to hire the right person for the job? The Illinois Department of Employment Security has an Internet database designed for both the employers and employees to find jobs/candidates that meet their criteria for employment. Enhance your ability to find qualified candidates for employment. Let us assist you!
• Employ Illinois Veterans: What better decision to make as an employer than to hire a veteran. These individuals have training, take pride in their work and may also be able to earn you a tax credit for your business. Learn more at the workshop.
• New Employee Bonding Program: Employers can apply for fidelity bonds through IDES.
It was very informative. But what I found to me most odd, was that the bureaucrats from the IDES now refer to claimants as their "clients."
