Escanaba - UIA Employer Seminar in Escanaba

Escanaba - UIA Employer Seminar

The Unemployement Insurance Agency (UIA) is offering our 2012 UIA Employer Seminars for free.  The purpose of this seminar is to improve the understanding of the unemployment insurance (UI) program and to get a clear understanding of how UI charges affect your account, and therefore your budget.  This year documentation will be given to participants towards CPE credits.  Feel free to attend either session one or session two; for CPE credit please see the registration desk. If you have any questions/concerns regarding the employer seminar please call the Office of the Employer Ombudsman at 1-855-484-2636 or email OEO@michigan.gov.
