When necessary, we conduct further fact- find In g/i nvestigation through our established contact person. For some separations, we request internal documentation such as disciplinary and termination letters, With approval from our contact person, we may speak with the person involved in direct supervision of the claimant to ensure that responses include all details of the situation. We organize your documents, summarize the facts in written response farm and process all state-required paperwork. A determination from the State is received on your behalf.

I i I Human Resoux ce Sexidces Noz-thtvest PO Box 6697, Bellevue WA 98008-0697 Phone: 425-284-2045JFax: 425-643.8333 i STEPS IN THE CLAIM PROCESS i 1. Filing a claim • When a person (the "claimant") elects to receive unemployment benefits they may contact the Telecenter by phone or Internet. • The claimant completes intake information, including the reason they were separated from their former employer, 11. Employer response • The Telecenter creates a claim farm and sends it to the employer (HRS NW). • The employer is required to respond to the claim giving their reasons for the separation, including copies of warnings and other supporting documentation. • Supplying the most detailed information at this point in the process increases the likelihood of a good outcome. Ill. What Is an adjudicator? • When a claimant and the employer have provided their information, an employee of the State (an adjudicator) reviews and compares both parties' "stories". • Adjudicators are to be impartial and not take sides for or against the claimant or the employer. • Either side may challenge what the other says. IV. The adjudication process — Lack of work, layoffs, and reduction in force. • When a person is separated because their employer has no work for them, their jobs have been outsourced, or the department closes, a former employee's claim is fast tracked. Benefits will be allowed in these cases. V. The adjudication process—Performance, inability, probationary discharge. • The State usually views these separation reasons as matters beyond the claimant's control. • An inability to do their job up to required standards, a poor attitude,not meeting sales quotas, etc, are not necessarily considered disqualifying misconduct. • The claimant will usually be allowed unemployment benefits. I I VI. The adjudication process—Quits, discharge for misconduct. • When a person has been separated because they quit or were discharged for misconduct, the adjudicator investigates the issues involved. • The adjudicator is.guided by State statutes in reaching their determination, but have significant leeway in many circumstances, • The adjudicator reviews the information received from the claimant and the employer. • If both parties are in substantial agreement, the adjudicator issues a determination, stating whether the claim is allowed or denied (i.e. whether benefits will be paid). • If there is disagreement, the adjudicator will contact one or both parties for clarification and additional documentation (an "adjudicator call'). V11. What the employer needs to do when a person was discharged for some form of misconduct. • Describe the final incident leading to their discharge, including the date. • Provide copies of policies violated.. • Provide copies of at least 3 prior warnings for the same type of issue (ex: tardiness, falling asleep on the job, rude to customers) OR provide policies that show that one instance of this behavior is sufficient to be terminated (fighting, drinking on the job, etc.). Vlll. Resignation in lieu of termination. • If you force an employee to quit, provide them with a pre-written resignation letter, "suggest" they look for work elsewhere (with the result that they quit), the State usually will adjudicate the separation as a discharge, not a quit. • The employer will be responsible to support their reason for terminating. IX. HRS Northwest and the adjudication process. • We have built a reputation with the State as an employer representative that can be counted on to provide complete, honest, and accurate information at the claims level. • Although they must be impartial, we have developed solid working relationships with the adjudicators we work with, because we "speak their language" and know what they need. INCREASING THE CHANCE OF A FAVORABLE OUTCOME 1. Follow your own policy • If your attendance policy states a person must reach 5 attendance points before discharge, and you discharge them for attendance after 3.5, they may be allowed benefits. i I If policy states that a person will be terminated after four "no call, no shows" and you allow them to work after having ten, they may be allowed benefits. I 11. Have clear, applicable, and consistent warnings that are according to policy. • Include the act or behavior involved and the dates incidents occurred. • If a person is warned for an attendance issue, include the specific type of incident that was involved (unexcused absence, tardy, no call/no show, etc.) and the dates, • Stating only: "You have now reached 3.5 attendance points" without specifying the type of incident involved may cause the warning to be disregarded by the adjudicator. • Warnings must apply to the final incident. If a person is discharged for rudeness, but all prior warnings were for attendance issues, they may be allowed benefits. • Where applicable, include witness statements, customer complaint cards and other relevant documentation. Ill. When you warn or discharge an employee, document and keep notes so that you will be able to refresh your memory in the event of an appeal. IV. Provide documentation in a timely manner. • If we receive paperwork in a timely manner, it gives us the opportunity to review and compose a reasoned response to the State. • If we send in full documentation with the claim form, rather than following an adjudicator call, it may allow the adjudicator to find flaws in the claimant's story and challenge them, V. Plan to win at the claims level. • If we are able to establish a good cause for the claimant's discharge, or that they had a disqualifying reason for quitting, claims are more likely to be denied, • Experience has shown us that when claimants are denied at the claims level, they usually do not appeal. • Avoiding a hearing saves you the time and employee hours required to help us present your case. I DETERMINATION$ I I I. After reviewing the information provided on the claim form and attached documentation, the adjudicator issues a determination. A copy is mailed to both the claimant and HRS Northwest. I li i i I II. determinations provide the facts of the case and the adjudicator's reasons for reaching their decision to allow or deny unemployment benefits to the claimant. III. Each determination includes the opportunity for the claimant or employer to appeal the adjudicator's conclusion. When these are received at HRS Northwest, we review the facts and reasoning sections, and contact you with our explanations and recommendations, IV,. When benefits have been denied, we will provide you with the potential savings in liability. APPEALS 1. When the claimant or the employer elects to appeal a determination, that party must file a Request for Hearing by the stated deadline. If you choose to appeal, we will file on your behalf. 11. When we receive a hearing date, our Appeals Manager, or the person assigned to the hearing, will contact you to discuss the issues that are likely to come up during the hearing. They will also request any additional documentation that might be helpful and request witnesses, if needed. In order to save as much of your time as possible, we endeavor to keep the number of witnesses to only what is necessary to establish our case, III. The hearings process is relatively simple. The Administrative Law Judge will control the process and both sides will be allowed to present their case and question the other parties. IV, The Appeals Manager will often arrange a pre-hearing, at which time they will review the issues and procedures likely to be involved for those unfamiliar with the hearings process. V. The Judge's decision will usually be mailed to both parties within two weeks. VI. The losing party is given the option to file a Petition for Review. A neutral judge will review only the transcript and documents from the hearing. No new evidence will be considered. e A decision will be rendered and usually will be received within one month.
