Many employer services are provided at no cost, including job postings, applicant referrals, labor market information, and workforce consultations. Some training programs may have eligibility requirements or cost-sharing guidelines. Testing fees are normally paid by Workforce Solutions, which means that tests are administered free to both job seekers and employers. If your company chooses to make use of these customized assessments in large quantity, then you may be asked to pay a portion of the fees. Contact your local office for bulk assessment pricing information.

The Texas Workforce Commission handles all Unemployment Insurance claims through statewide Tele-Centers. You may contact them by phone at 800-939-6631 or visit their website at https://www.twc.texas.gov/employer-resources/ebs

Per TWC Employer Notices page (https://www.twc.texas.gov/programs/unemployment-tax/employer-notices) "To be eligible for unemployment benefits, claimants must be willing, able, and available for full-time work and they must apply for and accept suitable work. If you made a job offer to an applicant or gave your employees a chance to return to work but they refused, TWC needs to know. Please report these instances on our online Employer Work Refusal Documentation form. Although TWC will take appropriate action when you submit a report on individuals receiving unemployment benefits, not all submissions will prompt a return correspondence."  If an interview opportunity is refused, there are options available for reporting it as well.
