Check those unemployment charge statements!!

The charges recorded to your unemployment account have a huge impact on your tax rate. As noted in a previous blog "Unemployment Benefit Charge Auditing" you should be checking the charges for common charge errors and contesting those charges with the state within the specified time period.

Thought it might be helpful to let you know the distribution schedule for charge statements by state as well as give you the time limit for contesting the charges. Some times are very short so employers need to be on top of getting this done timely.
