Did you know a full time employee who files for unemployment can cost you up to $10,000? This liability can be one of the most expensive costs to your business. Unfortunately, many ex-employees file for unemployment benefits regardless of the reason for separation, and they could be granted this potentially unjustified compensation unless you contest it. You can control these unecessary costs and we have the tools to do this for you.

Unemployment tax is based on claims in your experience rating formula. Claims verification, calculations and taxing rates all play a role in containing your unemployment program costs. Ohio unemployment tax rates can be as low as 0.40% and as high as 11.30%. This variance is your incentive to control your unemployment program now.
