How often does West Corporation dispute unemployment claims?

They dispute every single filing because it affects their tax rate. They utilize a company named Barnett Associates Inc located at 61 HILTON AVE GARDEN CITY, NY 11530-2895. What they will do is take advantage of the laziness of the appeals attorney.

For example, they will have 4 or 5 "witnesses" with the exact same story, in lieu of the requested documented evidence to support their claims. However, the Commission is aware of this practice, and will require West to produce evidence (if it even makes it to that step, as not all of the Appeals attorneys are burned out, or lazy. It's a 50/50 gamble that West risks because paying unemployment is detrimental to their tax rate)

**Pay very close attention to your appeals documents, as they likely contain the personal information of one or two other West employees. This is a common mistake made by West, but is evidence that they challenge every single Unemployment claim. Yes, this means that your social security number can likely end up on another persons appeals documentation.
