Employers: Submit Mass Claims Filings Using ESS

VEC’s Employer Self-Service (ESS) portal offers you the opportunity to proactively submit information for employees for either a permanent or temporary layoff.  Employers may access the ESS at https://www.business.tax.virginia.gov/VTOL/tax/Login.xhtml

Please take note:

• This feature is for EMPLOYER USE ONLY
• Employees affected by permanent or temporary layoff must still file a claim for benefits.  An employer may not file a claim on behalf of an employee.

How does this help? There are a number of advantages associated with the use of this web-based system that positively impacts employers and claimants:

Employer

• No separation reports to complete for workers filing a claim
• Simple, easy to follow instructions to navigate through the mass claim filing system

Claimant

• More timely and accurate payments to claimants
• Makes the unemployment experience less stressful for claimants
