Sebelius names Kansan to ensure fairness in unemployment cases
Thomas Reiling appointed to Employment Security Board of Review

To ensure fairness with regards to unemployment benefits, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed Thomas Reiling to the Employment Security Board of Review. 

The Employment Security Board of Review hears appeals of decisions on unemployment eligibility made by an unemployment insurance judge.  These appeals can be requested by the employer or the person filing for unemployment benefits.

 “Fairness and justice are important when it comes to these sorts of claims.  It’s the goal of the board to ensure employers and workers are treated fairly and their cases heard objectively,” said Sebelius.

Reiling, Augusta, brings 25 years of human resources experience to the board.  He worked as a senior manager in labor relations for Spirit AeroSystems in 2006, and also worked as a senior manager in multiple departments at Boeing from 1980 to 2005.  Additionally, Reiling is a member of Wichita Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial Relations Council and the Kansas Rotary Club. 

Reiling will serve a four-year term.
