Once Consultech files powers of attorney with the appropriate states the state will direct all claim inquiries to the Consultech address and then Consultech assumes the responsibility of completing and processing all Unemployment Insurance Claims on behalf of its clients. In order to complete these claims most expeditiously many clients choose to electronically transfer the data needed to complete this paperwork. If more information is needed we would contact the client liaison. By Consultech assuming the task of completing and processing claims it eliminates the risk of claims being misdirected as well as eliminates the risk of someone else completing the claim at the client who would not possess the years of experience of utilizing the correct legal terminology when completing such claims. Since in many states just one claim can cost an employer over $10,000.00 a prudent and wise business person would refer these claims to someone well versed on the law.

Every private sector employer is assigned an Unemployment Insurance tax rate which is based on each employer’s experience. Depending on the state an employer can pay over $1,000.00 per employee for unemployment insurance tax. Employers can also pay as little as $50.00 per employee for this tax annually. Consultech’s goal is to assist its clients to realize the lowest rate possible. Claims management is key, however there are additional means such as submitting a prepayment before the annual tax rate is issued by the states. This is as calculation undertaken by Consultech which provides its clients with the amounts necessary to reduce its tax rate (s) for the ensuing year. In effect it’s a small investment so that the return realized by paying at a lower tax rate for one whole year can reap a return of amounts that are five times or greater annually.

There are also options when companies merge or acquire others. Consultech can analyze the impact that these transactions will mean to existing unemployment insurance tax rates.
