MAGNETIC MEDIA REPORTING


UC PARTIALS DATA
can now be reported to the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) by magnetic diskette or tape. Each employer who wishes to report UC partials by magnetic media must first submit test data (on diskette or tape) along with the completed Magnetic Media Reporting Request for Authorization form at least 10 business days prior to the filing of your first UC Partials data.

This test diskette or tape should be marked "FOR TEST PURPOSES ONLY" on an external label along with the name of the employer and Alabama UC account number assigned by the UC Tax Section. The purpose of this test diskette or tape is to verify that we can process your data successfully before you begin reporting to us by magnetic media. After the testing, you will be notified of the results.

Diskettes should be 3 1/2" IBM DOS formatted. The diskette should be virus scanned before being submitted. If a virus is detected, DIR will return the diskette and request that a clean diskette be submitted.

Magnetic tapes can be IBM 3480 (compacted or non-compacted) and 3490 cartridges. Magnetic tapes using the IBM standard label must read "Partial Claims." Non-standard and non-labeled tapes may be submitted.


Diskettes and magnetic tapes should be submitted for each week of unemployment claimed. Tapes/Diskettes cannot be submitted prior to the week ending date of the week being claimed. Due to the high cost of handling fees, reporting diskettes will not be returned. Questions may be directed to Paula Litton at (334) 242-8461. Reports should be mailed to:

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
ATTN: PARTIALS CLERK
INFORMATION SYSTEMS DIVISION
649 MONROE ST, SUITE 3205
