Role:

•      Internal User

Objective(s):

To Approve or Deny the ‘Review Experience Transfer Request’ work item.

•      An experience transfer must be initiated (either acquired or acquiring business submits the transfer request).

•      Internal User can access the ‘Review Experience Transfer Request’ work item.

What happens next:

•      Internal User approves or denies the experience transfer.

1. 

Open ‘Review Experience Transfer Request’ work item by clicking the Work Item Number.

SUITS displays the Review Experience Transfer Details Maintenance screen.

2. 

Review the Acquired By and Acquired From information.

3. 

Review all six tabs in the Additional Information section.

The six tabs include: Transfer Types and Assets, Acquisition Details, Common Ownership, SUTA Dumping, and Experience Transfer.

4. 

Make any necessary updates on each tab.

Each tab must be looked over carefully to make sure all asterisked fields are completed. If changes are made on a tab, Internal User must click save button before proceeding to the next tab.

The SUTA Dumping tab has an Internal User only question, “Experience transfer due to SUTA investigation?” Internal User must select Yes or No.

5. 

Click the Approve or Deny button.

If both parties have not entered their data, the Approve and

Deny buttons will not display.

If the acquired business has a rate class of 12 or below for the acquisition year, and there are no delinquent reports or payments at the time of processing of acquisition, the experience transfer will occur immediately upon approval. This includes the final wage report quarter.

If the acquisition is approved and the acquired business has delinquent reports or payments due, the rating calculations will not include any experience transfer taxable wages and benefit charges that are calculated by SUITS unless the acquired business is class 13 or higher.

If the delinquent reports and/or the debt payments are paid in full within XX number of days (currently 60 days), rates will be recalculated to include any experience transfer taxable wages and benefit charges that are calculated by SUITS. 

If the acquisition is approved and the acquired business HAS delinquent reports or payments due, the account will be made liable to allow for reports to be submitted and the rating calculations will not include any experience transfer taxable wages and benefit charges that are calculated by SUITS unless the acquired business is class 13 or higher.
