JOB SERVICE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Job Service Workforce Centers
In the past several years, each of the 26 local Job Service Workforce Centers in Montana has provided enhanced services to business customers that go beyond the traditional labor exchange (matching job seekers to employers' openings) and are more Human Resource (HR) management in nature. In Montana, a large majority of businesses are small operations - lacking HR departments or staff. This provides the Workforce Services Division, through its local Job Service Workforce Centers, with an opportunity to assist Montana businesses.
The types of services provided include such things as:
· Posting job openings and providing referral services according to the customer's needs
· Proficiency testing of job applicants
· Providing access to a business resource center or library
· Performing job analysis
· Developing job descriptions and effective hiring procedures
· Assisting with development of employee handbooks
· Distributing mandatory employment posters at no cost
· Providing information on labor market trends to support local economic development activities
· Providing information on labor and human rights laws
All services are customized to meet the needs of the individual business customer.
As the demand for these services has grown, local Job Service Workforce Center managers have increased the amount of time their staff devotes to these duties. Every Workforce Center in the state has at least one Business Advocate, and most large Centers now have two or more Advocates. It is noteworthy that the provision of these types of services to business customers began in the Flathead Job Service Workforce Center at the urging of the local Job Service Employer Committee (JSEC).
You can learn more about business customer services in a variety of ways. Access information through the website for Montana's workforce system, JobLINC, at www.mtjoblinc.com. At the state level, contact the Department's Business Services Coordinator at (406) 444-7092. You can also contact your local Job Service Workforce Center from the following list and ask to speak to a Business Advocate.
Unemployment Insurance Benefits Bureau
Please contact the Unemployment Insurance Benefit Bureau at (406) 444-3783 if you have questions about UI benefits paid or charged to your account. You may request an employer handbook describing the benefit side of the UI program by calling (406) 444-3783.
