Alabama UI audit response
Alabama reviews move faster when your wage/payment totals reconcile cleanly and your proof is organized per payee.
Alabama “what’s different”
Alabama reviews tend to be straightforward when you lead with reconciled totals and a clear payee roster. Your goal is to make it easy for a reviewer to verify the payment story without chasing missing context.
What to expect (Alabama)
- A records request tied to a specific time period, with a deadline.
- Questions centered on wage/payment reporting and supporting source records.
- Follow-ups if totals don’t tie out across exports (bank/processor) vs your internal summaries.
What to pull first (Alabama checklist)
A) Period summary (make it verifiable)
- Audit period dates + a simple totals summary.
- Any reporting summaries you already rely on internally (keep it consistent).
B) Payment trail
- Bank statements and/or payment processor exports for the audit period.
- ACH/check detail if you used those methods.
- A payee register: date, payee, amount, and a purpose label.
C) Proof per payee (organized and readable)
- W-9 (if applicable)
- Invoices
- Scope documentation (work order / SOW / engagement emails / proposal acceptance)
- Approvals (if used)
- Work evidence for repeat or higher-dollar payees (deliverables, milestones, email threads)
If one payee has mixed payments (services + reimbursements), separate and label them consistently so totals don’t look “off.”
