Many employers have found Unemployment Insurance cost management companies to be a cost-effective ‘best practice’, in terms of administering UI claims and managing UI tax liabilities. Professional service organizations that can help you minimize your unemployment insurance taxes and exposure include members of the Association of Unemployment Tax Organizations (AUTO). Links to AUTO members websites are provided below for your convenience.

THE ASSOCIATION OF UNEMPLOYMENT TAX ORGANIZATIONS

The Association of Unemployment Tax Organizations is composed of members who provide unemployment compensation management services to employers throughout the United States. As professionals in unemployment insurance cost management, we develop and implement standards that serve American employers and employees by protecting and improving the U.S. Unemployment Insurance system.

The principal objectives and purposes of AUTO are:

    1. To promote, protect and improve the integrity, administration and operation of the unemployment compensation system for employers, who finance the UI system.
    2. To promote, protect and improve the ability of AUTO members to represent employers in unemployment compensation matters.
    3. To provide a forum to discuss, consider and deal with Industry issues and problems, and the unemployment compensation system; and to pursue activities that will enable members to achieve improved results and efficiencies.
