Employer Reply by E-mail

The South Carolina Employment Security Commission constantly strives to improve its services to customers. In that effort, we have developed a method to allow employers to respond to requests for separation information by email. This process will involve two steps: Employer Registration and Form Completion.

Employer Registration: You must first register to use this service. To register, you must complete the registration form identifying your company, point of contact and telephone number. The completed registration form should be sent to the following email address: UI-email-ER-Registration-DL@sces.org. After we receive this information, you will be issued a registration number. This number should always appear in the "Subject" line of your email employer responses. Please remember the number and place it in an area where it can be recalled. This registration number will be permanent. If you have any questions about the registration process, direct them to the Benefit Division at 803 737-0684 or Janet Robinson at jtrobinson@sces.org.

Form Completion and Submittal: The attached employer response document must be completed for each email response that you submit. You will need to create a new document from this site each time you use this method to respond. Please explain in detail the reason the claimant no longer works for you. You must include the claimant’s name, Social Security number and all applicable information requested. You must respond within seven (7) days of the date the NET-101 or UCB-101 form was mailed to you. Note: If a full and complete response requires supporting documentation such as copies of warnings, the company policy violated or a letter of resignation, please do not use this form unless you can submit them in an electronic format. If the attachments cannot be submitted in electronic format, the employer response and attachments must be sent through the Postal Service, other delivery service (UPS, FedEx, etc.) or by fax.

When the form is completed, you must save it to a separate file of your choosing. We would recommend that you save these responses in a folder for future reference. You may then initiate an email to the appropriate local office. The reply should be sent to the office shown in the address portion of the NET-101 form in the upper right portion of the reply mailed to you. If you have received a UCB-101, the local office address should be stamped on the bottom of the form. The local office email addresses are displayed in the matrix below. Be sure to include your employer registration number on the "Subject" line of the email. The saved employer reply and any electronic attachments should be attached to the email and sent to the appropriate local office. The template was designed to create Microsoft Word documents. If you have questions about the technical aspects of the template, contact Ryan Millwood at 803-737-3720 or rmillwood@sces.org. Questions about the content of the information you are providing should be addressed to your local workforce center.

Macro Security Settings for 101ER Form: The e-mail reply form that is being created from our web-based template utilizes macros to automate portions of the document creation process. Various versions of Microsoft Word have different methods of handling potential security issues posed by the use of macros. In order for the document to be correctly created, the medium macro security setting must be selected prior to creating the employer reply document. When the proper macro security setting is used, a pop-up box will appear at the time of the document’s creation and will offer the user the choice to enable or disable macros. The user must select the "enable macros" option. The following shows the way to change the default macro security settings for several different versions of Microsoft Word:

This version of Word has no default macro security settings to change. When creating the reply document, the user will see the pop-up box referenced above. Select the "enable macros" option and proceed with completing the form.

The default macro security setting is "high". To change this setting to medium, open Word, select "Tools" from the menu bar and then select "Macro" from the tools menu. Select "Security" from the macro menu. Change the setting under the "Security Level" tab from "High to "Medium". Close out the macro security menu and proceed with document creation. When creating the reply document, the user will see the pop-up box referenced above. Select the "enable macros" option and continue with completing the form.
