About The Live Webinar
Gain the knowledge and tools needed to efficiently manage responsibilities within the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation (UC) system. This seminar equips employers and their representatives to navigate UC processes with confidence, including responding to separation notices, reviewing and protesting benefit charges, and filing appeals. Participants will also explore communication features and document management options available through the UC employer portal. An optional second hour allows time for questions and discussion of real-life scenarios.
This webinar is open to everyone at no cost, thanks to an AgWorks grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. To help track grant reach and eligibility, participants will be asked questions about their farm or agribusiness during registration. Responses will remain confidential and will not be shared outside the project team.
As part of the AgWorks grant initiative, no-cost training and consultation services are available to qualifying small- to medium-sized farms and agribusinesses in Pennsylvania. For more information, visit AgWorks.
This event is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry through funding from the U.S. Department of Labor.
