Unemployment hearings can be extremely vexing for small business owners. Successfully challenging an unemployment claim from an undeserving employee takes a great deal of time and effort — and even if you are positive you fired an employee for a legitimate reason it is you, the small business owner, who bears the burden of proof.

That is why the NFIB Small Business Legal Center, the legal resource for small business owners nationwide, presented the educational webinar: How to Win an Unemployment Insurance Hearing.

We showed under what circumstances you should challenge an unemployment claim and how to maintain proper records to greatly increase your chances of winning.

This webinar covered:

• When to challenge an unemployment claim — Whether you contest a claim or not depends on a variety of factors. Learn what circumstances lead to successful challenges and which circumstances will lead you toward failure.

• How to prepare for a hearing — Find out what arguments your former employee is likely to make, and how to respond.

• Answers to your other unemployment insurance hearing questions.
