Electronic Signaturing
Can you quantify savings from paper to paperless?
There have been many studies regarding this issue. ETS has developed a ROI calculator specifically to assist the employer with this type of assessment. Please contact an ETS associate to review our findings.
ETS Electronic Employment Application
Why is an electronic application a good option for an organization?
Electronic Applications ("e-applications") are becoming more and more popular. Often employers will utilize electronic applications as part of pre-employment software or on-boarding software. The difficulty is that these are expensive service packages, and in today's economy employers cannot always afford to adopt these expensive software options.
The good news is that the ETS electronic online employment application module is an inexpensive and yet very powerful e-option for employment applications.
This module with smart software takes into account various state exceptions and rules that are unique to the state that the applicant is applying in.
This program will allow the employer to sort, house, and retrieve past applications taken from numerous desirable search criteria.
ETS I-9 Reporting Module
What advantages does online I-9 reporting have?
Using the ETS online I9 module will assist in file retention for audit and retrieval activities. In addition, notifications for re-verification activities are automated and the employer will remain compliant for re-verification requirements by utilizing this module.
ETS Online Termination and Disciplinary Tools
How will the ETS Termination and Disciplinary tools minimize downstream labor costs?
ETS Termination and Disciplinary tools will bring consistency to the reporting process. Through ETS' Active Interface Technology and rules engines the employer can maintain a proactive stance in Termination and Disciplinary reporting.
Merger and Acquisition Services
How important is payroll tax compliance when undergoing M&A?
Extremely important! Furthermore, timing is critical. Payroll tax is the single largest tax employers will pay every year. When an acquisition occurs, payroll taxes in the year of transaction can increase up to 200% without the proper measures in place at the agency level.
Does an organization have to disclose partial asset transactions to the state and federal employment tax agencies?
Partial transactions have serious penalties associated with limited or improper reporting on a purchase at the employment tax level. In many cases, partial transactions also afford opportunities for succession tax relief.
STAR
Why is this a good time for an ETS STAR review?
In today's economic environment it is critical to bring every dollar possible to an employer's bottom line. With most employers not exceeding a 5% profit on sales, the value of thousands of dollars recovered in an ETS STAR review can translate to millions of dollars of top line revenue.
UCM Plus
What is the best way to control UI costs?
Taking a proactive stance now can strongly influence downstream tax effects on SUI tax rates in the various jurisdictions. Benchmarking results from period to period will ensure that results are improving. There are over 30 charge exception areas from which employers can recover erroneous charges applied to an employers account. ETS has a robust charge exception system that ensures that every charge to an employers account is valid.
With so many layoff claims is it worth fighting Unemployment at all?
Once the economy recovers, UI rates will recover as well, as a result of the UI funds being replenished with increased payroll contributions. As an employer, being aggressive today can help ensure that once more favorable tax rate schedules are being utilized at the state agency level, your employers' SUI rates will drop dramatically.
What is UI Claims 'front-loading' in third party administration?
Front loading is a practice that can create very desirable outcomes in minimizing benefit charge liability in the UI Claims administration process. Front loading consists of acquiring as much pertinent data upfront in the claims protest process to ensure that the agency makes all submitted arguments and all supporting documentation becomes part of the state record. Should a hearing take place downstream, the administrative law judge will have all the facts- which can make the difference in returning a favorable decision to the employer.
