DETR - EMPLOYMENT SECURITY DIVISION - The mission of the Employment Security Division (ESD) is to provide a statewide labor exchange, conduct
programs that promptly pay unemployment benefits, improve the employment stability of those collecting unemployment insurance, and administer an effective tax system.
The division participates as a full partner in the Nevada JobConnect system, which offers training and re-employment services to Nevada employers and workers.
Division Budget Highlights:
1. Increase Client Services - Industry Sector Councils have been tasked to recommend pilot
training programs in eight industry sectors by the Governor's Office of Economic
Development. These programs will be funded initially with Career Enhancement funds, and
as proven successful, integrated into local workforce board funding.
2. Transfer Workforce Solutions Unit - Under Administration, this unit will provide
support, grant acquisition, and program analysis for eight industry sector councils and serve
as liaison between industry sector councils and the department to monitor alignment of
department operations with the Governor's Office of Economic Development.
3. Repay Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund Loan - A special employer assessment
will be adopted to raise funds to pay interest on Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund federal
loans, at rates calculated annually using the actual interest amount; which provides needed
flexibility and a dedicated funding source to pay the loan interest.
4. Modernize Unemployment Insurance (UI) System - Implementation of the UInv
system is scheduled for June 2013. UInv is a sophisticated tax and benefit system that greatly
enhances functionality for UI staff, employers, and claimants. Expenses in fiscal year 2014
include a 12 month contractual warranty period for all products and services.
