TALX is a multi state, One Size Fits All business franchise, which provides clients with a package based on minimizing costs, according to their blurb. In UC it means they'll advise, attend hearings, and do the numbers. Meaning, of course, that they're also calling the shots, and employers are acting on their advice, since they're paying for it.

This is their blurb: http://www.talx.com/Solutions/Compliance/UnemploymentTax/

They're also selling other services to employers, which involve other areas of business. You can assume that the ongoing sales pitch includes finding "savings" in the UC area.

Well done. Nice to see an attorney with an opinion, too.

I received a letter from my previous employer stating that they are appealing my unemployment. I looked on the back of the letter and it said that Employers Representative was this TALX company.

Luckily for me I kept the original letter of my notice of determination and on the letter it states specifically "The last day to timely appeal to this determination is August 18,2008"

I got the letter on Sept. 11th, stating that there will be a hearing involved. The hearing is set for tomorrow, but I was looking into it, and it looks like the appeal number starts 09-09-g which without confirmation from Unemployment would state that it was filed on the 9th of sept. Thats 22 days past the day that it was suppposed to be "timely appealed" Is this something that is allowable or can I bring this up and have an open and shut case. Granted I will argue about the Unemployment because I was wrongfully terminated. The original determination stated that burden of proof was set on the employer and they couldnt provide it.


What are your thoughts?

Yeah, seems to be one of TALX bad habits. They make a point of their support for employers, and this ineptitude is apparently the usual result. TALX is a franchise thing, and the standards for franchisees are obviously not their strong point.

This lengthy delay in providing "burden of proof" is interesting. I'd say TALX have just taken over this gig, and they've done their usual savings routine, to prove to the client that they're delivering. Looks like a dog's breakfast in process.

To get any traction at all in an appeal, they'd have to produce new information. Unless wrongful dismissal conditions were in some way incorrect, or UC made a technical mistake, that's not going to be easy to do.

The timely appeal aspect, and mishandling of processes, look like you win, but I tend to distrust this enthusiastic digging up of a buried issue, even by a company with a reputation for gung ho- ness. You'll be pleased to hear this is probably costing your former employer a fortune, but by the same token, they're looking suspiciously keen. Be wary of this process, on principle. If you know a pro bono lawyer, give them a ring.

The company seems to be dragging their feet. A deadline is set for people to oblige by, its not for someone to play by their own rules. In the event that I would have appealed 21 days late do u think that I would have the same justice? I think that I know the officiating person and I think that he has a grudge against me. I think I put him in his place last time i had UC
