August Newsletter
EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
Our August Employee of the Month is Kristine Britt. Her supervisor said “She is doing well. She is learning how all the programs work before getting into the nitty-gritty of how each program bills and learning the Therap program. She is eager, quick to learn and fits right in.”
We would like to thank Kristine for doing an outstanding job.
The Employee of the Month is chosen on supervisor feedback, attendance, and performance.

IMPORTANT
You may have heard this on the news already, but we felt it was important to repeat.
This was taken from www.Butlerradio.com
After switching over to a new unemployment compensation system, it appears more scammers are hacking into the program.
We first told you about the increase last week, but a new public media report detailed the rise.
When the Department of Labor and Industry updated the decades-old system, it made it easier to apply for benefits, but identification verification was lax allowing hackers to make fake unemployment claims.
The state government is receiving over a thousand new fraudulent claims per week. It previously averaged around 100.
Employers can typically catch fake unemployment claims, but you can also report it yourself via the state’s unemployment page.
