SEPA Presents:
Emerging Issues in SUI Tax and Claims Management
Presentation by: Brian Barnett, Senior Account Executive
ValeU Group
Brian has over 30 years of experience in corporate consulting with Payroll, HR, Tax and Finance. Brian has gained valuable insight into payroll administration, HR unemployment claims process, separation notices, verification of employment and SUI tax management. He uses that knowledge to improve the operating procedures and lower the SUI tax cost burden for his clients, through proactive consulting.
Brian started his Corporate Consulting career in 1990 as one of the founding members of Barnett Associates, Inc. His efforts assisted in establishing Barnett Associates as one of the premier SUI consulting firms in the nation. Barnett Associates was acquired by Equifax in 2017 and shortly after Brian joined ValeU Group, Inc., which was started in 2010 by Jared Vale. Brian and Jared had worked together for 20 years at Barnett Associates, so it was a natural fit.
Summary:
In the ever-evolving landscape of state unemployment insurance (SUI), payroll professionals are faced with a growing array of challenges. From the rise in fraudulent claims to the complexities associated with remote work, it is essential to stay compliant while minimizing tax liabilities through a strategic and informed approach.
This meeting will use a ZOOM Platform for the presentation. Closer to the meeting date, a link will be provided for attending the meeting virtually.
