I am an Owner/Operator of an automobile dealership with 250 employees. We had been managing unemployment insurance on our own for years. We were continually surprised and frustrated about the claims that we would lose. We clearly didn’t have the expertise to know how to defend ourselves. Our unemployment costs increased to a point that continuing to do what we had been doing was no longer an acceptable strategy.
We brought on Employers Edge to help us. They taught us how to manage the process and substantiate our cases. They trained our supervisory team about unemployment insurance and taught us strategies that helped us win the types of unemployment claims that we used to always lose. Employers Edge saves us a great deal of money, time and aggravation. We cost ourselves so much time and money trying to handle it on our own. I wish we had hired Employers Edge 10 years ago.
Why did I choose Employers Edge?
5 good reasons:
- Every unemployment claim that we lost on our own cost us between $4,000 to $8,000 dollars. We realized that handling your unemployment cost management in-house does not save you money when you are not an expert. Employers Edge paid their fee for 10 years after the first year of service. Their unemployment expertise saves us tens of thousands of dollars every year.
- We started looking at unemployment outsourcing to save money. Employers Edge manages our unemployment compensation much more cost effectively than we can internally.
- I would pay their annual fee just for the educational training that Employers Edge has provided our managers and supervisors. It has really made a difference in helping us win claims that we always used to lose in the past.
- We were not auditing the unemployment charges and taxes that we were being assessed by the state at all. Employers Edge catches state errors and overpayments that we had no clue about. There have been years that Employers Edge’s unemployment auditing and tax management services alone have justified their annual fee.
- When you look at all of the added value items in their suite of unemployment services from auditing, reports, educational training, ongoing consultation, tips, legislative updates, claims management and hearings representation, there is no way that we have the resources to do all of that internally. Even if we did, it would cost us three or four times their annual fee to do it.
