The Employment Security Department is making it easier for employers to communicate with the agency about former workers who have applied for unemployment benefits.We know that human resources professionals and small business owners need a way to quickly and easily respond to requests for information. That’s why Employment Security plans to launch a new website called eServices in January that will allow employers to reply online to inquiries about employees who were discharged or quit. Until now, employers have been able to respond only by phone or mail.
