The three year project, that received valuable insight and assistance from the employer community, enables the Department of Labor to simplify the process of doing business in the state for employers. The new form Florida employers will receive in January illustrates the new ease of the Unemployment Compensation tax system. The redesign, which was a joint effort between the department of Labor and Andersen Consulting, allows employers to fill out a single document for tax and wage reporting. Both employers and the department benefit greatly from the new process improvement. Another component of the Unemployment Tax Redesign was the creation of a toll free hotline for employers.
Employers can also register with the department by dialing the same toll free number.
