NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES
Information on Unemployment Compensationin the District of Columbia
Your employer is subject to the District of Columbia Unemployment Compensation Act
which establishes a system of protecting insured workers from complete wage loss when
they become unemployed through no fault of their own and are seeking new jobs. To
help finance the unemployment insurance system, a tax is levied against employers -- not
workers. No deductions are made from your pay for this purpose. This program is admin-
istered by the District of Columbia’s Department of Employment Services.
If you should become unemployed or your hours are reduced, you may be entitled to
receive unemployment compensation benefits. To apply for benefits, please call and
make an appointment to visit one of the One-Stop Service Centers listed below.
