The Hunter Consulting Advantage

Claim Management Control

Hunter maintains a staff of experienced claims personnel who are trained to manage claims proactively from the client’s perspective.

Our approach begins with a detailed analysis of each claim to identify any discrepancies or inaccuracies that could impact your costs. We closely examine the circumstances of an employee’s separation and gather the necessary documentation to support your case.

The objective is to provide expert service with an ultimate goal of reducing your unemployment costs.

Hunter Consulting Company exercises the employer’s rights by adjusting erroneous tax rates, contesting suspect benefit charges and appealing referee decisions.

Through the implementation of proper procedures, documentation and aggressive claim management, Hunter can prevent unnecessary charges from being assessed to your unemployment account, thus saving you thousands in annual tax liability.

  • Labor Disputes

    Should your company become involved in any kind of walkout or union dispute, notify Hunter Consulting Company immediately. Handling this circumstance is an involved aspect of unemployment compensation administration and requires immediate action with the state agencies.

  • Hearings

    The Unemployment Specialist assigned to your account reviews all contested claims upon receipt. Contact is made with the appropriate company personnel to obtain any necessary information and discuss witnesses, where indicated. The defense strategy is also discussed. Once the matter is scheduled for hearing, outside counsel is notified if applicable, information is forwarded for review and all preparations are finalized.

  • Common Rating

    Two or more contributory employers may establish a common rate group. The common rate is determined by consolidating all of the experience factors of the group members. Employers meeting the eligibility criteria must submit a request in writing no later than December 31st.

  • Unemployment Seminars

    Seminars are provided at the client’s location and cover the do’s and don’ts of successfully fighting an unemployment claim, record keeping, and how benefits paid affect the company and its bottom line.

  • Voluntary Rate Contribution

    Each year the state sends out a Contribution Rate Determination around October which gives employers the option to make a voluntary payment to lower their tax rates. Hunter determines the cost effectiveness of this option for each client.

  • Personnel Record Maintenance

    Today, more than ever before, accurate personnel record keeping is important to protect your company against NLRB, EEOC, OSHA, Wage and Hour, and Unemployment claims. Your Unemployment Specialist can offer advice and suggestions on the best methods of record keeping to insure that the necessary documentation is available in the event of a claim. Some of the areas that require detailed record keeping include attendance, leaves of absence, warnings and discharges.

  • Personnel Policies

    We review your personnel policies to ensure they support your ability to effectively manage terminations and minimize unemployment claim risks. Our team assesses your handbook to confirm that all critical procedures and guidelines are properly outlined, helping to safeguard your business in case of employee separations and potential legal challenges.
