Show Employment Security Offers Money Saving Tips i Records of the Utah department of Employment Security bear out that Utah's employers arc upping their business costs without reason. Although these employer errors mean more money in the department's treasury',, the department isn't pleased about it. This rundown will explain some of the mistakes employers are making. After the worker has filed his claim for jobless pay, the .employment security department must get certain information about his-fpast employment and earnings. To every employer who may have had this applicant on his payroll during the 15 iponths before the application, j, goes an inquiry, on how long the worker was employed and how much was paid in wages. Under the Utah Employ- ment Security Act an employ- j t has just 48 hours, after re- i ceipt of the inquiry, to fill in tho required information and J get it in the mail. If he fails to j meet this deadline, he is ! charged with a $10 penalty. ! Continued failure to return ! these requests for information J on wages and time workea J has resulted in over, 4,000 pun- allies being charged against i employers since 1950. ; Whether or not a jobless ; pay applicant receives u'nem- J ploymcnt benefits, and how much, depends to a large ex- I tent on his earnings and time- J worked during the 15 months before he files his claim. His employers are the only source of Information, so the need for immediate action on the j part of an employer when one of these requests crosses his ! desk should be apparent. |
