Description

If you have new leaders in your organization that are new at managing other people, or veteran staff who could benefit from brushing up on various Pennsylvania labor policies, then this is a perfect workshop for them.

Join the Chamber and PA CareerLink® Columbia/Montour Counties for this special two-in-one workshop on unemployment compensation issues - UC 101 and the Shared Work program, presented by Cathy Van Valen of the Office of UC Service Centers.

UC 101: This seminar guides employers through the process of the opening a UC Claim through the Department of Labor & Industry’s UC Service Center by an employee who has been separated from employment, permanently or temporarily, or is working less than the employers established full time work week. Important points that will be explained include:

- What forms will the employer receive when a claim is opened or reopened, and how will the information requested be used to determine claimant’s eligibility and protect the employer’s UC liability?
- What steps are taken by the UC Service Center to determine a claimant’s eligibility for UC Benefits?
- What issues does the UC Service Center consider in determining claimant’s eligibility?
- The employer’s right to appeal a Determination issued by the UC Service Center.
- Any additional forms the employer may receive related to Unemployment Compensation.

The Shared Work Program: This seminar will detail:

- How Shared Work is superior to regular UC in many situations
- How Shared Work reduces hiring and retentions costs
- How to participate in the Shared Work program
- The benefits of the Shared Work program for the employer and the employee

Cost for this seminar is $15 and includes breakfast. This breakfast seminar is sponsored by PPL Electric Utilities.
