The Idaho Department of Labor is introducing a new online application called ECORE that allows employers to electronically manage their unemployment insurance accounts and monitor claims charged to them.  In addition to information on unemployment insurance taxes, the claims process and the employment and business services available through 25 Labor offices located throughout the state, employers are receiving instructions on how to log into ECORE and use its tools to control costs.
