North Carolina Unemployment Insurance Poster Poster Required

Certificate of Coverage
and Notice to Workers as to Benefit Rights
Employers covered by the Employment Security Law of North Carolina (Chapter 96 of the North Carolina General Statutes) 
contribute to a special fund set aside for the payment of unemployment insurance benefits. No money is withheld from workers’ 
checks for unemployment insurance purposes.
If your work hours are substantially reduced or your job is eliminated due to lack of work you may qualify for unemployment insur-
ance benefits.  If you work less than the equivalent of (3) customary scheduled full time days, during any payroll week because work 
was not available, you may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits. An employer may file claims for employees through 
the use of automation in case of partial unemployment. An employer may file an attached claim for an employee only once during 
a benefit year, and the period of partial unemployment for which the claim is filed may not exceed six consecutive weeks. You must 
notify the employer of any wages earned from all sources during the payroll week. Unemployment insurance benefit payments are 
processed in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Please be sure that your employer has your correct mailing address. 
If you lose your job with this employer, you may contact the Department of Commerce, Division of Workforce Solutions (DWS) at 
www.nccommerce.com/workforce to assist you in securing suitable work.  DWS provides a wide variety of services free of charge.  
If suitable work is not readily available you may file a claim for unemployment insurance benefits with the Division of Employment 
Security at www.ncesc.com, or by phone at 877-841-9617.
By law, workers who become unemployed for other reasons or who refuse suitable work may be denied unemployment insurance 
benefits.
If you have any questions about unemployment insurance benefits or need more information, contact the Division of Employment 
Security at the address shown on the bottom of this poster.
 During Labor Disputes [Section 96-14.7(b)]
An individual is disqualified for benefits if the Division determines the individual’s total or partial unemployment is caused by a 
labor dispute at your place of employment or any location owned by the employer within the state of North Carolina. Once the 
labor dispute has ended, such workers shall continue to be ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits for the period of time 
that is reasonably necessary to resume operations in the workers’ place of employment
