Trusted Risk Management Services

Unemployment claims, workplace safety requirements, and workers' compensation place constant pressure on small businesses. Managing these on your own can lead to rising premiums, costly errors, and unnecessary exposure.

Consolidated Employer Services provides an integrated risk management approach that simplifies every step. By having a single team handle claims, communication, and training, employers gain stability and cost control without having to navigate the system on their own.


Why Choose CES for Risk Management & Workplace Safety Programs

  • Proactive Compliance Protection: We file with unemployment offices, handle Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) communications, and store all records electronically, so no deadlines are missed.
  • No More Vendor Overload: Instead of juggling TPAs, agencies, and payroll processors, clients contact one team – CES handles everything.

CES Risk Management Services

CES provides a comprehensive approach to workers' compensation by simplifying every step of workers' comp, unemployment management, and workplace safety support.

Workers’ Compensation Management

We assist employers who must pay premiums directly to the BWC. The group rating process can be confusing, often leading to unpredictable premium spikes and administrative headaches. CES streamlines all of this by managing the workers' comp process.

Key capabilities include:

  • Handling premium payments directly with the state
  • Managing client claims and communications
  • Providing guidance within your state’sworkers' comp structure

To help clients improve their long-term stability, CES also brokers a self-insured workers' compensation policy through Minuteman. This removes employers from the state system and allows premiums to be based on actual risk, payroll, and industry.

Unemployment Claims Management

Unemployment claims can quickly raise a company’s SUTA rate if mishandled. Many small businesses miss notices or fail to respond in time, leading to wrongful approvals that increase tax liabilities. CES prevents that by managing unemployment from start to finish.

What’s included:

  • Filing with the unemployment office so all claims come directly to CES
  • Responding immediately with accurate employee data from our HR and payroll system
  • Protecting clients from paying unnecessary unemployment taxes
  • Eliminating the burden of managing claims, documentation, or state communication

Every document we produce is reviewed for compliance and formatted for quick employee access within our HR system.

Workplace Safety Policies & Training

Clients increasingly want help with safety compliance, training, and documentation. CES offers:

  • Workplace safety policies
  • CPR certifications
  • Forklift certifications
  • OSHA-related training

These services were created in response to rising safety concerns and to the continued decline in injury rates driven by advances in technology and equipment. CES offers safety services as an add-on, helping businesses strengthen their workplace culture and reduce risk.

CES follows a hands-on, integrated process designed to reduce client risk, simplify claims, and centralize data for fast, accurate responses.

Our Risk Management Process

We begin by reviewing existing employee data, payroll records, and policy documentation. This ensures all information is correct, centralized, and ready for unemployment claims, workers' comp, and employment practices liability insurance.

We immediately file a power of attorney for unemployment claims so that CES receives all communication directly from the state.


Discovery & Data Review

Risk management only works when connected to HR and payroll. We combine all three to ensure claims and audits are handled accurately. This includes:

  • Linking payroll data to BWC requirements

  • Connecting HR policies to unemployment eligibility

  • Centralizing employee information, wages, and dates

The goal is to eliminate vendor fragmentation and reduce the risk of missed deadlines or inaccurate documentation.


Strategy & Integration

All documentation is stored electronically. CES configures internal systems so our HR, payroll, and risk teams can access employee records instantly. This allows fast responses to:

  • Unemployment claims

  • Wage verification

  • Tax impact analysis

  • Workers’ comp claims and audits

Setup & Centralization

Once fully integrated, CES takes over every aspect of claims administration. This includes managing all BWC claims and employee communication, handling all unemployment filings and responses, coordinating directly with state agencies, and overseeing all claims documentation and follow-up. 

Clients never need to contact multiple vendors or government departments; CES centralizes and manages the entire process on their behalf.

Active Claims Management

After implementation, CES continues to support employers through proactive unemployment monitoring, expanded workplace safety services, and ongoing workers' comp services. 

This includes providing new training and certifications, updating safety policies as new risks emerge, and helping clients maintain compliance in a changing regulatory environment.
