Why this matter

Unemployment Is a Hidden Profit Leak—Until You Control It

Most companies treat unemployment claims as paperwork. But every missed deadline, uncontested charge, and documentation gap quietly increases your SUTA tax rate—compounding into tens or hundreds of thousands in unnecessary costs over time.

  • Missed Deadlines: Late responses trigger automatic benefit payouts that increase your tax liability.
  • Uncontested Charges: Invalid claims slip through without proper documentation and protest.
  • Rate Creep: Small errors compound into SUTA rate increases that cost thousands annually.
  • No Visibility: Finance lacks insight into how claims activity impacts the bottom line.
  • Scattered Systems: Claims buried in inboxes and spreadsheets create compliance gaps and lost opportunities.
  • Reactive Management: Without a system, you're always behind—responding instead of preventing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UCM by HRlogics?

UCM by HRlogics is a centralized platform for managing unemployment claims from start to finish. It replaces scattered spreadsheets, inboxes, and manual tracking with a single place to handle claims, deadlines, documentation, and state communications.

Who is UCM designed for?

UCM is typically used by:

  • HR and Payroll teams handling day-to-day claims
  • Finance teams monitoring unemployment costs and SUTA exposure
  • Compliance teams supporting audits and reporting

It’s especially valuable for employers with multiple locations or employees across several states.

How does automation actually help with claims?

Automation helps by guiding teams through the process instead of leaving them to figure it out on their own.

UCM uses structured workflows, pre-populates certain information when possible, and connects through SIDES to support accurate, timely responses—reducing manual effort and missed deadlines.

Can UCM help us understand and manage unemployment costs?

Yes. UCM reviews incoming benefit charges and highlights items that may need closer attention. This gives teams better visibility into where costs are coming from and supports more informed budgeting and SUTA planning.

Does UCM replace our HRIS or payroll system?

No. UCM is designed to work alongside your existing HRIS, payroll, and compliance tools.

It focuses specifically on unemployment claims and cost management, without requiring you to change the systems you already rely on.

How secure is unemployment data in the platform?

Security is built into the platform. UCM includes encrypted data storage, authenticated access, and controls designed to protect sensitive employee and claims information.

How quickly can teams get started?

Most teams can begin using UCM shortly after access is provided. There’s no long implementation cycle, and claims can be managed in the platform right away.

Can we store and organize claim documents in one place?

Yes. UCM includes a secure document center where teams can upload and organize separation details, policies, and supporting files at the claim level—making audits and reviews much easier.

What happens if I switch HR providers - do I lose my I-9 data?

No. Clear I-9 runs independently of your HRIS or payroll provider, so your compliance process and records remain unaffected if you change platforms.

How much time can Clear I-9 save my team?

On average, Clear I-9 helps teams reduce time spent managing Form I-9s by up to 50%, freeing HR and compliance teams to focus on higher-value work.
