  7. Information Packets • All offices should have information packets on-hand. • We’re shipping packets to individual offices. • Info packets – English and Spanish languages are on website with issuance. • Use the packets you have on-hand before using the new packets.

  8. Info Packet

  9. Providing Service • Provide Services: • Orientation to Services • Assess skills • Verify work search activities • Provide LMI and Career Info • Refer questions about UI/EUC to TWC UI booklet and website

  10. 1. Provide Orientation • Open the information packet and pull out the forms. • Show the Service Panel to the customer and point out the services listed.

  11. 2. Assess Skills As needed: • Review and update the customer’s WIT application and personal resume. • Offer advice on jobs matching skills • Match to jobs and provide referrals. • Remind customers to keep log of all job search contacts and activities.

  12. 3. Verify Work Search Activities • There’s no dictated paper form for the job search record. Accept any form. • Review all work search provided - look for 3 searches per week. • If less than 3 - probe for more. Tell customer to write down any activities not already listed. (job search workshop and job club activities count only 1 time in a week) • If unable to verify 3 contacts – do not enter this service. (see next slide) • We do not keep a copy of the log.

  13. 3. Verify Work Search Activities - continued • If the customer comes in and you are unable to verify there are 3 work searches logged – do not enter this activity. Decide: • Is there time for the customer to return with the completed 3 work searches before the deadline is up? (Must have it entered within 5 calendar days of the appointment date.) • If there’s no time – then report it as an issue. • If there’s time – then tell the customer to get the information to you quickly.

  14. 4. Provide Labor Market and Career Information • Show the customer the packet forms: • Where the Jobs Are – changes each month. Make sure to show the customer the most current version. • Job Search Resources • Job Search Seminars

  15. Where the Jobs Are

  16. Finding LMI – on website

  17. Finding LMI on website Finding the updated Where the Jobs Are – LMI report. Where the Jobs Are is located here:

  18. Staff Requirement • Managers and Supervisors will direct staff. • Contractor or ES staff can provide the orientation, LMI and job skills assessment. • ES staff must review the customer’s work search records and determine if the customer is meeting the work search requirement. (This is the eligibility review.)

  19. Documenting Service • Staff must provide and enter all 4 services in WIT – or the customer will be denied EUC. • REA Orientation • Job Search Assessment • Work Search Activities Verified • Labor Market Information

  20. Document Services in WIT • Job Seeker tab • Services Menu • Choose Service Category • Choose Service

  21. Example of Services Entered in WIT Notice – Job Search ASSESSMENT

  22. Exemptions • Within the last 3 mos. – the customer visited an office and participated in similar activities. • Customer is working or has a return-to-work date within 8 weeks for full-time, permanent employment. • Other valid reason. (May need to also report as an eligibility issue.) Note: If customer is in training don’t give an exemption – tell customer to call UI Tele-Center to request waiver/exemption. Or, follow guidance in WS 09-13: UI Claimants Exemptions for Approved Training.

  23. Rescheduling • The recruitment letter tells customers to call 713-334-5916 (Placement Team staff) to reschedule. • Career Office staff should reschedule when a customer asks you to do so. • Reschedule within 5 calendar days - for next available date. (Next available date can be more than 5 calendar days out.)

  24. Rescheduling - continued • Always provide service when the customer comes to the office. (Even after a missed appt.) • If the 4 services are not entered in WIT within 5 calendar days of the appointment date - the system sends a “failure to report” message to the UI Department. • UI Department sends a denial letter to the customer. • The customer can appeal.

  25. Rescheduling - continued • The REA services entered in WIT – will help speed up the reinstatement process as UI will still likely require the customer to attend the meeting. • Desk Aid on Rescheduling is posted on website. • Each office should have staff with RRES/REA add/edit permission.

  26. Reporting Eligibility Issues • We expect staff to work with the customer to identify job search activities. • If customer doesn’t meet work search requirements – or has eligibility issues making him or her unable or unavailable to work – record in WIT the service entry Work Search Activities – Issue.
