Scheduling in Glink Notifying UI of “no shows” Providing appropriate services when/if claimant arrives for
scheduled services Entering services in OJL
• Changes begin with rescheduling:
Rescheduling is now a formal “on the books” process UI will be notified via the “Good Cause” email box of all
rescheduled dates for PO, Job Search Workshop, REA and EUC Must enter rescheduled dates in OJL Statements will be entered in TabE
Whether that process requires emailing a list like Profile Orientation or adding
an issue like EUC.

5. You will enter any remaining services at the time the claimant actually comes in to complete their orientation.
6. If there is a UI Field Rep available, then refer the claimant to the rep and the UI Field Rep will complete the TabE processes beginning with instruction number 7. If no UI Field Rep is available OR if a claimant will be waiting an unreasonably long time… Workforce Center Staff will need to complete the remaining steps.
7. Find the EREA Requirements statement in TabE. Enter the reason the claimant wishes to reschedule services. Remember: the details are important! Then click on Update, No Issue because we are only noting the reason for non-attendance.

Details are important!
When you take a statement in TabE, UI staff need as many specific details as you can provide.
If you ask questions that cover the five W’s, there is a good chance that you will get most of the needed information.
REMEMBER: Who, What, When, Where and Why
UPDATED INFO!

Claimant calls to reschedule
Begin by asking three basic questions:
• What group did the claimant fail to attend?• What was the date of that group?• Why was the claimant unable to attend as required?
There are two basic categories that claimants tend to fall under – never received the letter/notice OR was unable to attend. Ask the following additional questions:
Never received the letter/notice
• Do you want to reschedule? (Set up a date and time)
• Is the claimant’s address correct according to TabE? (This is a good time to verify their address in OJL)
• Has the claimant received other mail?
• How did the claimant discover he needed to attend this group?
Was not able to attend the session
• What was issue that caused inability to attend?
• How long did this issue last? (from and thru)
• Did the claimant complete his/her work search during this time?
• Has the claimant rescheduled before? Why?
UPDATED INFO!

Important to Remember!
All of the information that you received from the claimant should be entered in TabE!
Don’t forget to also enter the reason for non-attendance in the enrollment notes.
There are two ways to mark the status of services in OJL: Failed to Report OR Rescheduled.
Those individuals that do not show up for their originally scheduled appointment and DO NOT contact you to reschedule are still reported as “no-
shows” according to current procedures!
Failed to Report: the individual did not show up and did not contact you OR contacted you after the appointment.
Rescheduled: the individual contacted you before their appointment asking to be rescheduled.
