Comprehensive Support at Every Step of the Unemployment Insurance Claim Process

From navigating initial filings to handling appeals, Axcet HR Solutions offers a full spectrum of services designed to minimize your exposure to unjustified claims.

Assist in All Unemployment Claims Processing

When a former employee files an unemployment insurance claim, your company has just 10 days to respond with the necessary eligibility information. This process is time-consuming but essential, especially if you plan to contest the claim.

Without a timely response, benefits are automatically granted, potentially raising your unemployment tax rates.

Since unemployment benefits are funded by the taxes your company pays, it’s critical to avoid paying claims that aren’t legitimate. However, state unemployment systems often favor the employee, making it challenging to dispute claims.

Axcet HR Solutions is here to simplify this process. Our team of claims experts quickly and effectively develops employer responses, ensuring that you only pay benefits when legally required.

We provide oversight throughout the entire process, helping you navigate the complexities of the unemployment claims system with confidence.

Axcet takes the burden off your shoulders, ensuring that your company only pays unemployment benefits to former employees who are truly eligible.

File Timely Appeals

As experts in unemployment claims management, Axcet helps you determine whether to contest an unemployment insurance claim. For example, your business may avoid paying unemployment benefits to an employee terminated for cause.

Most states require a response to a former employee’s unemployment insurance claim within 10 days. If your business loses the initial unemployment claims decision, you typically have 30 days to file an appeal—no exceptions.

Axcet’s unemployment claims management services guide you in identifying the critical evidence and talking points needed for a successful appeal. We also help ensure your business adheres to HR best practices that can tip the scales in your favor.

For instance, a well-documented and distributed employee handbook can demonstrate that the employee was aware of the policies that led to their termination, strengthening your position in the claims process.

Prehearing Preparation for Appeals Hearings

Even if an administrative law judge initially rules in your company’s favor, that decision might not be the final word. Former employees often appeal, making it essential to have a knowledgeable unemployment claims management provider like Axcet on your side to counter the appeal effectively.

When layoffs occur due to a lost contract or poor performance, employees are generally entitled to unemployment benefits. However, when termination results from defendable reasons—such as violating policies clearly outlined in your employee handbook—this may not be the case.

Axcet provides expert unemployment claims management services throughout the appeals process. We help you prepare a strong defense by reviewing all relevant evidence, termination reports, employment policies, and any disciplinary records. We ensure your company representative is thoroughly prepared to speak directly with the judge, presenting your case clearly and effectively.

To boost your chances of a successful appeal, Axcet familiarizes you with the entire process and provides coaching on what to say—and what to avoid—during the hearing. Our role-playing exercises further prepare your spokesperson to deliver compelling testimony.

As a trusted, certified professional employer organization (PEO) in Kansas City, Axcet has decades of experience standing by employers through hundreds of appeals. By improving your odds of winning, Axcet also helps you manage unemployment insurance costs, minimizing the risk of increased rates due to lost appeals.

Small business owners who partner with Axcet win more unemployment claims than companies that go it alone, thanks to the depth and breadth of our experience and expertise.

Review Benefit Charges from State Unemployment Agencies

Axcet helps you manage unemployment expenses by ensuring that the benefit charges—amounts paid to former employees—are accurate and fair.

Our team carefully reviews state unemployment insurance claims to verify correct benefit calculations and detect any fraudulent claims, which have been on the rise in recent years. If we identify errors or fraudulent charges, Axcet takes immediate corrective action, including requesting reversals for charges that should not be applied to your company.

This vigilant approach to unemployment claims management not only protects your business from unnecessary expenses but also safeguards your employees from identity theft related to fraudulent claims.

With Axcet, you can trust that your unemployment benefit charges are accurate, minimizing human errors that could otherwise lead to significant financial losses.

HR Solutions That Fit Small Businesses

"We are small, and as such, rarely in the eye of a payroll services company. Axcet works with our multiple entities. I want to focus on our business, and they focus on HR for me. Because we are small, I really don't want to have a 'personal' disagreement about PTO or vacation pay, so I set the guidelines, and Axcet manages them, which I love."

After Trying Others, Axcet Stands Above the Rest

We had tried two other PEOs. Both of which we left after the first year. The level of service that we were accustomed to with Axcet was not there, so we came back to Axcet truly because of the excellent service we always received. Everyone at Axcet would make us feel like we were their only client, like they were sitting there waiting for our call, always friendly and ready to help.
