Chapter 300-2 Employment Security Law

Subject 300-2-1 Definitions

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-1-.01 Meaning of Terms Used

(1) "Law" means the Employment Security Law of Georgia, Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA), Title 34, Chapter 8.

(2) "Commissioner" means the Commissioner of Labor of Georgia. Where appropriate, Commissioner shall also mean any duly authorized representative of the Commissioner.

(3) "Department" means the Georgia Department of Labor.

(4) "Reimbursable Basis" means the method of payment wherein an employing unit has elected to reimburse this department for the amount of benefits chargeable to such unit in lieu of making quarterly contributions to the department.

(5)

Total, Part-Total, and Partial Unemployment.

(a) "Total Unemployment" means any week during which an individual performs no services and with respect to which no wages are payable to the individual.

(b) "Part-Total Unemployment" means any week during which an otherwise qualified individual works less than full-time and earns wages not exceeding the individual's weekly benefit amount plus Non-deductible earnings. An individual engaged in Part-time Employment is ineligible for Part-Total Unemployment unless the individual has been separated from Full-time Employment and the Part-time Employment does not unreasonably interfere with the individual's search for new Full-time Employment. An individual must report all gross earnings to the Department.

(c) "Partial Unemployment" means any complete pay-period week during which an individual is attached to the individual's regular employer and works less than full-time, due only to lack of work, and earns wages not exceeding the individual's weekly benefit amount plus Non-deductible earnings. Partial unemployment claims are initiated by the employer. An individual engaged in Part-time Employment is ineligible for Partial Unemployment. NOTE: The Georgia Employment Security Law provides for benefit payments to be made in multiples of $1.00. Therefore, Deductible Earnings must be adjusted to the nearest dollar, i.e., the odd cents .01 through .49 will be adjusted to the next lower dollar; .50 through 99 will be adjusted to the next higher dollar.

(6) Week of Unemployment. Unless otherwise authorized by the Commissioner, a week of unemployment shall be the calendar week beginning on Sunday and ending at midnight the following Saturday.

(7)

The following definitions shall apply in the application of the disqualification provisions of OCGA Sections

34-8-194

and

34-8-195

(a) "Bodily Injury" is physical harm, damage or injury inflicted on an individual by another individual.

(b) "Conscious Neglect" is a failure to use that degree of care which would be exercised by an ordinarily prudent person under the same or similar circumstances. It does not require a willful intent to abuse an employer's business but it does require a showing of disregard for the normal or acceptable consequences of the action or the failure to perform one's job duties. It is to be distinguished from the claimant's inability to satisfactorily perform the duties of the job. A showing by the employer that the claimant failed to perform a task for which the claimant had previously demonstrated a degree or level of proficiency by satisfactorily performing the task in the past will shift the burden of proof to the claimant to show that the individual had an inability to perform the task in question.

(c) "Fault" is a failure to follow rules, orders or instructions, or failure to discharge the duties for which the claimant was employed. Fault which is of a disqualifying nature cannot be a technical failing, a minor mistake or the mere inability to do the job. Rather, a breach of duty to constitute fault must take into consideration such factors as length of service, nature of duties, prior warnings, equal enforcement of all progressive discipline programs and any other factors which might be used to establish reasonable expectations that the discharge was imminent. The claimant must have been aware that a discharge would likely result from the violation of the rule. In the case of a discharge due to a violation of an employer's rule, order or instruction, an employer has the burden of proving that the claimant knew or should have known that the violation of the rule, order or instruction could have resulted in termination.

(d) "Full-time Employment" is normally considered to be at least thirty (30) hours of work in a week or such other number of hours as is normal in a particular industry. An individual who worked full-time during a majority of the weeks of work in the base period shall be expected to look for full-time employment and shall be expected to accept an offer to such work after filing an otherwise valid claim for benefits. An individual may accept Part-time Employment at any time as long as it does not unreasonably interfere with the individual's search for Full-time Employment, but the claimant must report gross earnings for such work to the Department.

(e) "Intentional Conduct" is that personal behavior or action by an individual which is willful, conscious or deliberate that results in damage to another person's property or results in bodily harm to another individual. A claimant who commits an act which a reasonably prudent person would contemplate to result in damage may be said to intend that result, whether he desired it or not; for every person is presumed to intend the natural consequences of his or her own actions.

(f) "Misconduct" is conduct evincing such willful or wanton disregard of an employer's interest as is found in violation or disregard of standards of behavior which the employer has the right to expect of an employee, or in carelessness or negligence in such degree, or recurrence as to manifest fault, or to show a disregard of the employer's interests or of the employee's duties and obligation to the employer. Misconduct includes but is not limited to a violation of a known work rule which is reasonable and related to the job being performed.

(g) "Part-time Employment" shall be construed to be work which is other than Full-time Employment as defined above, without regard to whether it is of limited duration as to days, weeks or months. A claimant who worked part-time during a majority of the weeks of work in the base period must be available to work for at least 20 hours per week.

(h) "Physical Assault" is touching the person of another against his/her will with physical force, in an intentional, hostile or aggressive manner.

(i)

"Suitable Work" means work in the individual's usual occupation or work for which the individual is reasonably fitted. In determining whether an individual is reasonably fitted for a particular job, the department shall consider the totality of circumstances, including, but not limited to:

1. The degree of risk involved to the claimant's health, safety and morals;

2. The claimant's physical fitness;

3. The claimant's prior training;

4. The claimant's experience;

5. The claimant's prior earnings;

6. The length of the claimant's unemployment;

7. If the work is not directly related to claimant's recent work experience, the claimant's prospects for obtaining local work in such claimant's customary occupation; and

8. The distance and time for commuting.

(j) "Theft" is the taking of an employer's property, or the property of any other employee or the property of any other person while on the employer's premises or otherwise within the scope of the employee's job duties, without the consent of the owner of the property, with the intent to deprive the owner of the value of the property, and to appropriate it for the use and benefit of the person taking the property. The value of the property taken shall be the fair market value at the time of replacement.

(8) "Personal services" mean work performed by an individual for personal remuneration. Work performed by an individual or sole proprietorship is presumed to be personal services unless otherwise exempted by the Employment Security Law or the Rules of the Georgia Department of Labor. Work performed by a corporation or a partnership does not meet the definition of personal services.

(9) "Rate buy down" with respect to voluntary contributions pursuant to OCGA Section 34-8-178 means the payment of such additional amounts in response to notice from the Department as to enable an employer to receive a lower rate of contributions.

(10)

Most Recent Employer.

(a) "Most Recent Employer" as defined under OCGA 34-8-43 shall not include an employer subject to the provisions of the federal Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.

(b) "Most Recent Employer" as defined by OCGA 34-8-43(a) shall mean the last employer for whom an individual worked and was separated.

(11)

"Deductible Earnings" means:

(a) For all claim weeks ending before July 8, 2023, all wages in excess of $150.00 each week earned by a claimant for services performed, whether or not received by such claimant; and

(b) For all claim weeks ending on or after July 8, 2023, all wages in excess of $50.00 each week earned by a claimant for services performed, whether or not received by such claimant. Deductible earnings shall be subtracted from the weekly benefit amount of the claim.

(12) "Non-deductible Earnings" means all wages earned each week by a claimant less than or equal to the amount established by the Commissioner for Deductible Earnings

(3) Employers with domestic employment only shall file tax and wage reports with the department annually on or before January 31st of each year for the prior calendar year.

Except for the annual reporting of wages and taxes, requirements for reporting wages by employers of domestic employment shall be the same as for all other employers.

(4) A tax and wage report is filed on the date received by the department or, if an electronic report is not required, when placed in the mail service. When placed in the mail service, the postmark cancellation date shall control over any prior postage meter date shown on the envelope or package.

(5) A tax and wage report that is not filed when due shall be subject to the late filing penalty in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-165(b) until properly filed. In addition to the late filing penalty, if a report remains unfiled, the employer may become ineligible for an experience rated tax rate, and the employer's tax rate shall be calculated in accordance with O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-155(b) .

(6)

Mandatory electronic reporting.

(a) All employers shall submit tax and wage reports electronically in a format approved by the Commissioner, unless expressly authorized by the department to file by a different method.

(b) If an employer or an employer's agent fails to file a report electronically when required by this rule, the report may be treated as not filed and subject to late filing penalties and loss of experience rated tax rate.

(7) Any corrections, additions, or adjustments to the regular report filed for any quarter should be reported on Form DOL-3C "Add New Wages and/or Correct Reported Wages" including the reason for the adjustment to the original report, or electronically as directed by the department. Taxes on any additional wages shall be calculated at the tax rate in effect during the quarter in which the wages were paid.

(8) All wages paid an employee in insured employment shall be reported for the quarter in which payment was actually made to the employee. When payment has been made by check, the remuneration shall be reported for the quarter in which the employee's paycheck is dated. For wages paid by electronic funds transfer, direct deposit, payroll card, or any other cash, electronic, or non-cash medium, the remuneration shall be reported in the quarter in which the funds or benefit are made available to the employee.

(9) An employer that has no employment in a calendar quarter, shall, within the prescribed time, either electronically file a report showing no wages, as directed by the department, or shall write across the face of the report "No Employment" and shall date, sign, and mail the report to the department.

(10)

Required reporting of additional wage data.

(a) Whenever additional wage information is needed by the department to determine regular or alternative base period wages, each employer shall report such additional wage information as may be requested by the department. Employers shall report the additional wage information by the date designated by the department in its request.

(b) A report of additional wage data made in response to a department request under subparagraph (a) is not a substitute for quarterly tax and wage reports required under paragraph (1) above or for annual reports required of employers with domestic employment only. A report of additional wage data made in response to a department request under subparagraph (a) shall not relieve the employer from properly reporting all wage information with the appropriate quarterly or annual report, when such report is due.

This information shall be reported on the same form, by the same method, or in the same format, and shall be submitted at the same time, as all other information in an employer's tax and wage report.

(b) All wages as described above in these rules shall be applied against the employer's rate of contribution as well as the administrative assessment.

(c) Administrative assessments which are not paid when due shall be collected in the same manner as that provided in the Employment Security Law for the collection of contributions, taxes, penalties, interest, costs and reimbursements in lieu of contributions. Any amount due as an assessment may be included in tax executions along with other such payments due or may be collected by separate tax executions.

(d) Any assessment which becomes delinquent, regardless of whether other funds are due from the respective employer, shall bear interest at the rate provided for delinquent contributions in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-166 .

(e) Any delinquent assessment shall become the personal debt of the person required under the provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-167 to file returns or to pay assessments provided under O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-180 , et seq.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-2-.03 Common Paymaster

(1)

As provided in OCGA Section

34-8-27

, a common paymaster established for a group of related corporations is any member thereof that disburses remuneration to employees of two or more of those corporations on their behalf. However, the common paymaster is not required to disburse remuneration to all employees of the two or more related corporations.

(a) A common paymaster making disbursements on behalf of related corporations to employed individuals shall be responsible for taxes, interest and penalties imposed by the Employment Security Law on all wages disbursed by it.

(b) For purposes of charging benefits paid and mailing notices to chargeable employers, the common paymaster shall be considered the employer for all wages disbursed to individuals by the common paymaster whether payment was for services performed for the common paymaster or for a related corporation.

(2) If the common paymaster fails to remit taxes, interest and penalties on all wages disbursed by it as required by the Employment Security Law, the Commissioner may hold each of the related corporations liable for a proportionate share of the obligation. Such proportionate share may be based on sales, property, corporate payroll or any other reasonable basis that reflects the distribution of services of the pertinent employees between the related corporations. When there is no reasonable basis for allocating the amount owed, it shall be divided equally among the related corporations. If a related corporation fails to pay any amount allocated to it pursuant to this section, the Commissioner may hold any or all of the other related corporations liable for the full amount of the unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

(3)

Two or more corporations shall be considered related corporations for an entire calendar quarter if they satisfy any of the following tests at any time during that calendar quarter:

(a) More than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of shares of all classes of stock of each corporation is owned by one or more of the other corporations, and the common parent corporation owns stock possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of at least one of the other corporations.

(b) Five or fewer persons who are individuals, estates or trusts own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total value of all classes of stock of each corporation, taking into account the stock ownership of each person only to the extent such stock ownership is identical with respect to each such corporation.

(c) A group of two or more corporations is combined with a common parent corporation as described in subsection (a) of this section and also such parent corporation is a member of a group of corporations as described in subsection (b) of this section.

(d)

Fifty percent (50%) or more of one corporation's officers are concurrently officers of the other corporation. (e) Thirty percent (30%) or more of one corporation's employees are concurrently employees of the other corporation. (f) When a corporation that does not issue stock is involved, either:

1. Fifty percent (50%) or more of the members of one corporation's board of directors (or other governing body) are members of the other corporation's board of directors (or other governing body); or

2. The holders of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power to select members of one corporation's board of directors (or other governing body) are concurrently the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of that power with respect to the other corporation.

(4)

For purposes of paragraph (3) of this rule, concurrent employment means the simultaneous existence of an employment relationship (within the meaning of the Employment Security Law) between an individual and two or more corporations. Such a relationship contemplates the performance of services by the individual for the benefit of the employing corporation, not merely for the benefit of the group of corporations.

(a) The simultaneous existence of an employment relationship with each corporation is a decisive factor. If it exists, the fact that a particular employee is on leave or otherwise temporarily inactive is immaterial.

(b) Employment is not concurrent with respect to one of the related corporations if the employee's employment relationship with that corporation is completely nonexistent during the periods when the employee is not performing services for the corporation.

(c) An individual who does not perform substantial services for a corporation is presumed not employed by that corporation.

(d) A corporation which has no employees performing services for it in Georgia cannot be the common paymaster for Georgia employees of its related corporations.

(5) Related corporations which compensate their employees through a common paymaster shall file with the Commissioner the details of their plan. The details shall include the names of the related corporations, the name of the common paymaster corporation and the class or classes of workers involved. The filing shall include documentation to substantiate that the corporations are related as defined in section (3) of this rule and that employees are concurrently employed. An amendment to the plan shall be filed whenever there is a change in the related corporations participating in the plan, a change in the common paymaster or a change in the class or classes of workers involved.

(6) Plans submitted pursuant to section (5) of this rule shall be filed within the thirty (30) day period following the end of the calendar quarter in which the plan is in effect. Eligibility of an employee to be compensated through a common paymaster shall be determined on a quarterly basis.

(7) A common paymaster is not a successor corporation pursuant to OCGA Section 34-8-153 for concurrent employees unless the related corporation ceases operations and is acquired in its entirety by the common paymaster corporation.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-3-.01 Quarterly Tax Payments

(1)

Each employer (other than those who have elected the reimbursable option) is required to pay taxes and administrative assessments, if applicable, on the taxable wage base portion of wages paid to each individual employee during the calendar year.

(a) All taxes from employers of domestic workers only shall be due and paid annually on or before January 31 st immediately following the calendar year to which such taxes apply. All taxes from all other employers shall be due and paid on or before the last day of the month which follows the end of the quarter to which they apply.

(b) Wages paid during a calendar year with respect to employment performed in another state for the same employer (legal entity), which wages were reported to another state and the taxes thereon paid, shall be considered as wages reported to the State of Georgia for the purposes of computing taxable wages paid to an individual during such calendar year (if the other state has a lower taxable wage base the difference will be taxable wages of Georgia).

(c) When a change in ownership (successorship) occurs, all taxable wage base wages paid and reported by the predecessor employer, excluding wages paid by a reimbursable employer, for the same individual for the same calendar year shall be treated as taxable wages paid by the successor employer.

(2)

Wages.

(a) Salaries, commissions, drawing accounts, lodging and board, bonuses, holiday and vacation pay are wages within the meaning of the Employment Security Law. Flat fee expense payments shall be considered wages, whereas reimbursement expenses for which adequate documentation of actual expense reimbursed is maintained shall not be considered wages.

(b) Bonus means the sum paid to or other thing of value received by an employee from an employer as additional payment for services performed in insured employment.

(c) Drawing accounts, or advances against commissions, shall be deemed wages for services in insured employment in the amount actually drawn by the employee at the time so drawn. Any advance against commission, including that paid to insurance agents, shall not be exempt from the definition of wages.

(d)

Board and lodging furnished an employee by an employer shall be construed as wages for services in insured employment.

1. In the case of employees of apartment complexes, the value of an apartment given in lieu of wages shall be the same value accepted as rent for a like apartment in the same complex. Such value placed thereon shall be included as wages for reporting purposes.

2. For the purpose of reporting wages and taxes the minimum value of board and lodging shall be computed as follows, and no agreement between the employer and the employee shall reduce the value of said meals and lodging below these amounts: meals-breakfast $3.00, lunch $4.00, dinner $6.00; lodging-$200.00 per month, $50.00 per week, or $10.00 per day.

(3) All tax payments shall be made directly to the Georgia Department of Labor by check, draft or money order, made payable to the Georgia Department of Labor or by such other method approved by the Commissioner. Payments by cash may be remitted only by registered mail or paid to an authorized representative of the Georgia Department of Labor.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-3-.03 Refund and Adjustment Procedure

(1) Initiation by department. In the absence of a written request by an employer, the Commissioner may make a refund or adjustment to an account upon discovery of errors with respect to overpayment of amounts due, provided such amounts were assessed within the last seven (7) years.

(2)

Request by employer.

(a) Any request for refund or adjustment of unemployment tax, interest, cost, administrative assessments or any combination of the foregoing must be made in writing and directed to the Commissioner.

(b) Such written request must be received by the Commissioner within three (3) years of the date the amount was assessed by the department.

(3)

Review of the request.

(a) The Commissioner or his authorized representative shall have a reasonable time, normally not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days, to review the request and, if the request is denied, to produce a written decision thereon.

(b) In the discretion of the Commissioner, a request for redetermination may be reviewed or reconsidered if it is received by the Commissioner within fifteen (15) days of the release date of the original decision and contains new relevant information that was not reviewed with the initial request.

(c) There shall be no right to an administrative appeal hearing of a decision by the Commissioner regarding a refund or adjustment request.

(4)

If the request for refund or adjustment is granted by the Commissioner for an inactive employer account, a refund without interest shall be made:

(a) If the employer has no current employees;

(b) The account is current with the department; and

(5) If a refund or adjustment request is granted and the account of the employer with the Department is still active, the employer may, at its option, receive a refund without interest, or make the appropriate credit adjustment in a future tax and wage report, provided the account is current in every respect. If the account is not current no refund shall be made and adjustments will be made to future quarters as directed by the department.

(6) The experience rate history account created pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-154 is strictly an account used to track the history of a particular employer's unemployment tax history. Nothing in this rule establishes an employer or any individuals in its employ the right to claim funds paid by the employer into the fund, regardless of whether the employer ceases business, or the experience rate history account of that employer is inactivated, terminated or otherwise ceases to exist.

(2)

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-3-.06 Constructive Knowledge of Work Performed

(1) General definition. The purpose of this section of the rules is to establish who is liable for the employment of an individual hired to assist in performing the work of an employee. In a situation where an individual is employed to perform or assist in performing the work of an employee, the individual is deemed to be employed by the employer provided the employer had actual or constructive knowledge of the work performed by the individual. This is the case even when the individual who is hired to assist the employee is hired or paid by the employee.

(2) Constructive knowledge. An employer is deemed to have constructive knowledge if the employer should have reasonably known or expected that an employee would engage another individual to assist in performing the work. If an employer has a rule against the employee hiring another worker or has instructed the employee not to hire another worker, the employee who hired the extra worker is the employer unless it is unreasonable to expect one person to complete the work assigned.

(3)

Examples of actual or constructive knowledge. The following situations demonstrate when there is actual or constructive knowledge and show the employer's responsibility.

(a)

The employer who operates a trucking business, employs A to drive a truck to a certain location, unload the truck and return. A hires B to help unload the truck. The following examples show whether the employer is considered to have actual or constructive knowledge of the work performed by B.

1. If the employer knows B is helping A, the employer has actual knowledge of the work performed by B and therefore, B is considered to be employed by the employer.

2. If the employer does not know about B but knows that the unloading A is engaged to perform requires more than one person, the employer has constructive knowledge of the work performed by B and, therefore, B is considered to be employed by the employer.

3. The employer tells A to do the work himself, however, A still hires B and the employer finds out but takes no action to prevent B from helping A in the future. In this case the employer has actual knowledge of the work performed by B and, therefore, B is considered to be employed by the employer for both the past and future work performed. However, if the employer takes action to prevent A from hiring help in the future, then B would not be considered to be employed by the employer even for the work already performed.

4. The employer tells A that he may do the work himself or hire someone to help him. A hires B but the employer is not told and does not know about B. The employer is considered to have constructive knowledge because he knows A might hire B.

(b) Reporting requirement (constructive knowledge). The employer has a responsibility to report all employment for which he is liable, therefore, the employer in the examples above should require that A report B's employment to him in those situations where the employer had actual or constructive knowledge of B's employment. However, A's failure to report B to the employer does not relieve the employer of the liability for the employment.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-3-.07 Included Employment: Localization of Services

(1) General definition. The objective of this rule is to explain when employment is covered under Georgia law if an individual worked for one employer in more than one state. Unemployment insurance programs in all states use the parameters established in this section of the rules.

(2) Service is localized in this state. The service is considered to be localized in Georgia if it is performed entirely within Georgia. The service is also considered to be localized in Georgia if performed both inside and outside of Georgia, but the service outside of Georgia is incidental to the service in Georgia. The service is incidental if it is temporary or transitory in nature or consists of isolated transactions. The intent of the employer and employee will be used to determine whether the service is incidental to the service performed in Georgia.

(3)

Service is not localized in any state. If the service is not localized in any state but some of the service is performed in Georgia by the individual, the entire service is covered in Georgia if one of the following conditions apply:

(a) The base of operations is in Georgia. The individual's base of operations is in Georgia. The base of operations is the place from which the employee starts work and to which he or she customarily returns for instructions from the employer, communications from customers, to replenish stocks or materials, to repair equipment or to perform any other function necessary in the individual's trade or profession. The base of operations may be an individual's residence.

(b) The place from which service is controlled or directed is in Georgia. If the individual has no base of operations or does not perform any service in the state in which the base of operations is located, it is necessary to determine if any service is performed in the state from which the service is controlled or directed. The place from which the service is controlled or directed is the place at which the basic authority exists rather than the place at which a manager or foreman supervises the service.

(c) The place of residence is in Georgia. If the conditions in paragraphs (a) or (b) do not apply, it is necessary to apply the test of residence. Under this test, the service is covered in Georgia provided the individual lives in Georgia and performs some of the services in Georgia.

(4) Employer may elect one state for coverage. If the conditions in paragraphs (2) or (3) of this rule do not apply, the employer may elect to cover all of the individual's service in one state. This election must be made under the provisions for reciprocal coverage arrangements (See OCGA Section 34-8-35 ).

(3)

Examples of family relationships which are or are not exempt. A required family relationship (not necessarily the same relationship) must exist between the employee and each member of the employing unit. Examples are:

(a) A woman who is employed by a partnership composed of her husband and her son is exempt from "employment";

(2) Services performed as an insurance agent. Services performed by an individual as an insurance agent are exempt if all such services are paid solely by way of commission. For example, if this individual works for an insurance company both as an insurance agent and an accountant, is paid for services as an insurance agent by way of commission and paid a salary for the accounting services, the commissions are excluded from employment and the salary for the accounting services is included. If the payment for all services (commissions and salary) is for the same pay period, the "included and excluded service" provision of OCGA Section 34-8-35 must be applied.

(3)

(c) If the individual performing services as an insurance agent is given advances against future commissions and the individual is required to repay any advances which exceed the commissions, the advances against future commissions are considered to be remuneration solely by way of commission and are excluded. The employer must provide satisfactory proof that advances are, in fact, repaid.

(1) General definition. "Employment" does not include services as a licensed real estate agent if remuneration for such services is solely by way of commission.

(2) Services performed as a licensed real estate agent. Services performed by an individual as a licensed real estate agent are exempt if all such services are paid solely by way of commission.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-3-.15 Included and Excluded Service During a Pay Period

(1) General definition. When some of an individual's services performed for the person employing the individual during a pay period are included and some excluded from employment, all the services are considered to be included or excluded for that pay period. Whether all the services are considered to be included or excluded depends on the time spent in each activity.

(2)

Time spent in a pay period.

(a) If fifty percent (50%) or more of an individual's time in the employ of a particular person is spent in performing services which constitute employment, all the services are considered to be employment.

(b) This fifty percent (50%) test must be applied to each pay period. An individual could have all services performed included in one period and excluded in another.

(3) Employer must verify time spent. In order to have all services performed by an individual excluded, the employer must show to the satisfaction of the department that less than fifty percent (50%) of the time spent in any pay period is for services which constitute employment.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-3-.16 Agricultural Labor

(1) General definition. Generally, agricultural labor is exempt under OCGA Section 34-8-35 , unless it is covered under OCGA Section 34-8-33(a)(3) . OCGA Section 34-8-33 covers larger agricultural employers based on wages paid or number of individuals employed.

(2)

Definition of terms. The terms used in this section are defined as follows:

(a) Agricultural commodities. Agricultural commodities include livestock, bees, poultry, fur-bearing animals, wildlife and all crops such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains and other commodities grown in the soil or other growth mediums for use or profit.

(b) Horticultural commodities. Horticultural commodities are flowers and nursery products such as sod, fruit trees, shade trees, Christmas trees, ornamental plants and shrubs.

(c) Raising and harvesting. Raising includes such things as planting the seeds, watering or irrigating, applying insecticide or fertilizer and otherwise caring for the commodity prior to harvesting. In regard to livestock, bees, poultry, fur-bearing animals and wildlife, raising includes caring for, feeding, shearing, breeding, training and managing. Harvesting includes such things as picking, cutting, threshing, shucking corn, baling hay, and hulling nuts. Horticultural commodities are harvested when they are available for sale.

(d) Farm. A farm is any place used mainly for raising agricultural or horticultural commodities such as a ranch, orchard, nursery, greenhouse or other similar structure.

(3)

Agricultural labor. "Agricultural labor" means any service performed in any one of the following:

(a)

On a farm, in the employ of any person in connection with:

1. Cultivating the soil, which includes plowing, dragging and fertilizing; or

2. Raising or harvesting any agricultural or horticultural commodity.

(b)

In the employ of the owner or operator of a farm, if the major part of the service is performed on a farm, in connection with:

1. The operation, management, conservation, improvement or maintenance of the farm and its tools and equipment. This includes clearing land, leveling land, selling agricultural commodities raised by the operator and services performed by painters, mechanics, farm supervisors and bookkeepers, provided the individual is not an employee of another firm hired by the farm operator; or

2. Salvaging timber or clearing land of brush or other debris left by a hurricane, storm, flood or other natural disaster.

(c)

In the employ of any person in connection with:

1. The production or harvesting of agricultural commodities defined in Section 15(g) of the Federal Agricultural Marketing Act. These commodities are limited to crude gum (oleoresin) from a living tree, and gum spirits of turpentine and gum rosin processed from crude gum by the original producer of the crude gum; or

2. The ginning of cotton; or

3. The operation or maintenance of ditches, canals, reservoirs or waterways if not owned or operated for profit and used primarily for farming purposes.

(d)

In the employ of the operator of a farm or group of operators of farms who produce more than one-half of the commodity and perform services with respect to such commodity in its unmanufactured state in:

1. Handling, planting, drying, packing, packaging, processing, freezing, grading or storing the commodity. However, services performed in connection with commercial canning or commercial freezing do not constitute agricultural labor; or

Delivery to storage or to market or to a carrier for transportation to market of the commodity. However, services performed in connection with any agricultural or horticultural commodity after its delivery to a terminal market for distribution for consumption or in connection with the wholesaling and retailing of the commodity do not constitute agricultural labor. The selling activity, however, is agricultural when it is performed on the farm. (4) Examples of the application of the definition of agricultural labor.

(a) Raising and selling. Services in connection with raising agricultural or horticultural commodities are agricultural labor. However, if this business also sells the commodity, the selling activity is not agricultural labor unless performed on the farm.

(b) Included and excluded services (agricultural labor). If in example (a) above, the same individual performs both agricultural and nonagricultural labor, the entire service will be considered to be agricultural labor if fifty percent (50%) or more of the individual's time in a pay period was spent in agricultural labor (see OCGA Section 34-8-33 ).

(c) Poultry hatchery. Poultry hatchery services are agricultural labor provided they are performed on the farm or in the employ of a farm operator or group of operators who produced more than one half the commodity (the eggs). Services for a commercial hatchery that is not part of a farm that raises poultry are not agricultural labor.

(d) Raising livestock. Raising livestock and related activities performed on a farm are agricultural labor. Services in connection with livestock held, cared for and fed in a feed lot over an extended period of time to make an appreciable weight increase are agricultural labor. However, operating a stable or stud farm where no animals are raised is agricultural labor only if it is performed on a farm. Services in connection with racing, using livestock in rodeos, exhibiting livestock and training livestock for these purposes are not agricultural labor when not performed on the farm where the animals were raised.

(e) Forestry, lumbering and landscaping. Services performed in forestry, lumbering and landscaping are not agricultural labor.

Section 34-8-153 .

(2) When successorship is not otherwise required or prohibited, a rebuttable presumption of successorship shall arise if 90% or more of the predecessor's trade, business or assets were transferred.

(3)

Factors to be considered by the Commissioner in deciding whether a successorship has occurred and whether successorship treatment is required or prohibited include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Whether the predecessor's business enterprise was active at the time of the acquisition;

2. The cost of acquiring the predecessor's trade or business;

3. Whether the cost of acquiring the predecessor was reasonably related to the market value of the predecessor's trade or business;

4. Whether the successor actually continued the business enterprise of the predecessor;

5. How long the successor continued the business enterprise activity of the predecessor;

6. Whether a substantial number of new employees were hired by the successor for performance of duties unrelated to the business enterprise activity conducted by the predecessor before the acquisition;

7. The potential unemployment insurance tax savings in contributions costs which favorable successorship treatment might achieve compared to the cost of the acquiring the predecessor's trade or business.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-3-.18 Partial Transfer of Employment Experience

(1) Partial transfers of experience shall be subject to the mandatory and prohibited successorship provisions in subsections (g) and (h) of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-153 . The department shall consider, without limitation, the factors listed in Section 300-2-3-.17 to determine the applicability of subsections (g) and (h) of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-153 to partial transfers of employment experience.

(2)

When successorship is not otherwise required or prohibited, upon mutual agreement by both predecessor and successor, partial transfer of employment experience and payroll records of an employer may be approved if:

(a) A clearly identifiable or separable portion of the organization, trade or business was transferred as provided in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-153 .

(b)

The acquiring unit continues to operate the acquired portion of such organization, trade or business and is a liable employer or becomes liable as provided by O.C.G.A. Section

34-8-153

1. Where the successor is an employer or becomes an employer, application and agreement signed by both predecessor and successor are made by the successor employer within the two (2) calendar quarters following the quarter in which the acquisition occurred;

2. For good cause shown, time for filing such application may be extended not exceeding thirty (30) days;

3. Application and agreement shall be made on Georgia Department of Labor forms and shall include payroll and other information as required by such form; and

(3) The predecessor and successor employers, after the formal application shall, upon request, file with the Georgia Department of Labor such other reports and forms as are deemed necessary.

(4) Upon receipt of the application and agreement, a transfer percentage will be determined by relating the total taxable payroll of the acquired portion for the eighteen (18) month period immediately preceding the date of acquisition to the total taxable payroll of the predecessor for the same period. In cases where taxable payroll information for the eighteen (18) month period is not available, taxable payroll for a lesser period may be used.

(5) When not otherwise required or prohibited, where the successor is a liable employer and acquires a liable employer and, at the time of acquisition, the predecessor's tax rate is higher than that of the successor, the successor's current rate shall continue until the end of the calendar year. The experience history of the predecessor shall not be transferred to the successor. If the predecessor's tax rate at the time of acquisition is lower than or equal to the rate of the successor, the experience history shall be transferred to the successor and used in future rate calculations.

(6) When not otherwise required or prohibited, where a successor who is not a liable employer acquires an existing business and, at the time of acquisition, the tax rate is greater than the new employer rate, the successor shall be assigned the new employer tax rate. The experience history of the predecessor shall not be transferred to the successor. The successor shall retain the new tax rate until eligible for a rate computation based on the successor's own experience history.

(7) When not otherwise required or prohibited, where a successor who is not a liable employer acquires an existing business and, at the time of acquisition, the predecessor's tax rate is lower than the new employer tax rate, the experience history shall be transferred to the successor, and the successor shall retain the predecessor's tax rate for the remainder of the calendar year. The successor's tax rate for future years will be computed based on the combined experience history of the predecessor and successor.

(8) When not otherwise required or prohibited, where a successor employer acquires multiple predecessors, the experience history of any predecessor with a tax rate lower than the new employer tax rate shall be transferred, but the experience history of any predecessor with a tax rate higher than the new employer tax rate shall not be transferred.

(9)

Termination of an employing unit's unemployment experience history account means the employer either has ceased doing business in Georgia with no reasonable expectation or intention to resume doing business in Georgia in the future or the employer has fallen below the threshold of minimum coverage for a particular category of employer as more fully described in O.C.G.A. Section

34-8-33

. For example, an agricultural employer which no longer has ten or more individuals in the employ, or a non-profit employer which no longer has four or more individuals in its employ may request termination of coverage. In either event, an employer must specifically request, in writing, termination of its account, and specify the reason for the termination. A statement to the effect that the employer no longer has employees or has ceased doing business shall not suffice as a request for termination, but shall constitute grounds for inactivation of an account.

(a) Inactivation of an account means the account may be re-activated in the future. In such event, the unemployment insurance experience tax rate history of the account remains, and will be merged with future experience for purposes of tax rate calculation.

(b) The unemployment insurance experience tax rate history of a terminated account ceases to exist. In the remote event such an employer were to reactivate its account in the future, it would be assigned a new employer rate, without regard for its prior tax rate history or experience.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-4-.02 Claimant Registration for Work and Job Referrals

(1) Purpose and scope. This rule sets the conditions under which a claimant must register for work and accept job referrals as a condition of receiving unemployment insurance benefits. Registration for work and the operation of the public labor exchange are administered by the Technical College System of Georgia ("TCSG") through WorkSource Georgia, or any successor system designated by TCSG. This rule governs only the unemployment insurance consequences of a claimant's compliance or noncompliance with the registration and referral requirements.

(2) Registration required. Except as provided in paragraph (4), a claimant must register for work with TCSG through WorkSource Georgia, or any successor system designated by TCSG, in the manner and within the timeframe directed by the Department. A claimant who fails to complete registration as directed is ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits for any week in which the registration requirement remains unmet.

(3)

Reporting, work search, and job referrals. The Department may direct a claimant to:

(a) Report on work-search activities;

(b) Accept and respond to job referrals received through WorkSource Georgia or directly from an employer; and

(c) Take any other action reasonably necessary to determine the claimant's continued eligibility for benefits. A claimant who, without good cause, fails to make a required report, refuses a referral to suitable work, or fails to take other action directed by the Department is ineligible for benefits as provided in Georgia Code Sections 34-8-194 and 34-8-195.

(4)

Exceptions. A claimant is not required to register for work under paragraph (2) if the claimant is:

(a) On a short-term layoff with a definite recall date within six (6) weeks of the last day worked;

(b) A partial unemployment claimant as described in Rule 300-2-1-.01 ;

(d) A member of a union in good standing who customarily obtains work through a hiring hall or similar placement facility, and who provides evidence of current union membership and current registration with the union for job referrals; or

(e) Unemployed because of a strike or similar labor dispute, except that a claimant who has been locked out must register if directed by the Department.

(5) How registration and referrals are reported to the Department. TCSG provides the Department with information about a claimant's registration, referrals, and refusals through data exchanges established between the agencies. A claimant or employer may also report to the Department any information relevant to the claimant's compliance with this Rule.

(6) Coordination with TCSG. Nothing in this Rule confers on the Department any authority over the operation of WorkSource Georgia, the State Employment Service, or Wagner-Peyser Act programs in Georgia, all of which are administered by TCSG. See GDOL Rule 300-2-7-.14 for the allocation of responsibilities between the Department and TCSG regarding job openings and refusals of work.

(1)

Total and part-total claims.

(a)

Weekly certification of eligibility.

1. To request payment for a week of unemployment insurance benefits after filing a claim, an individual shall timely complete a weekly certification of eligibility as directed by the department.

Timely weekly certification.

(i) An individual must wait until a benefit week has ended to request a benefit payment for such week.

(ii) An individual may request a week of benefit payments no later than two weeks after the end of such benefit week, provided, however, that an individual may not request payment for any claim week ending before the date the initial benefit claim was filed.

(iii) Failure to request a week of benefit payment on time will result in an individual being considered ineligible for benefits for that week.

(iv) Failure to request three or more consecutive weeks of benefit payments may result in an individual being required to reopen their claim by filing a new application for benefits.

(b) Reporting on work search. An individual is required to conduct an active work search during each week that benefits are claimed and report on such work search activities as directed by the department. Unemployment benefits shall cease to be payable for failure to conduct an active work search or timely report on work search activities to the department.

(c) Reporting on any other matter affecting eligibility. An individual is required to timely report as directed by the department on any matter which, in the discretion of the department, may affect eligibility for benefits. Unemployment benefits shall cease to be payable for failure to timely report to the department.

(2)

Partial claims (employer filed claims).

(a) Weekly certification of eligibility. To request payment for a week of unemployment insurance benefits for which an employer has filed an employer filed claim on behalf of an individual, an individual may be required to complete a weekly certification of eligibility as directed by the department.

(b) Reporting. Both the employer and the individual shall report as directed by the department on any other matter affecting eligibility in the same manner as for total or part-total claims. Unemployment benefits shall cease to be payable for failure of either to timely report to the department.

(3)

For reasons found to constitute good cause, a claimant unable to report to the department as directed may be permitted to report within the two (2) day period following the date the claimant was directed to report. Good cause is defined as circumstances beyond the claimant's control, such as:

(a) An "act of God" or similar event which prevented the claimant from timely reporting;

(b)

Death of an individual's immediate family member.

(i) The reporting requirements shall be waived for the day of the death and for four (4) consecutive calendar days thereafter.

(ii) As used in this rule, "immediate family member", means a spouse, child, stepchild, adopted child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, brother or sister of the individual or his or her spouse and the spouse of any of the foregoing; or

(c) Personal illness or disability of a temporary nature of claimant or a dependent family member which occurred in such a way to prevent the claimant from timely reporting, and the claimant made diligent efforts to give notice to the department prior to the time for the scheduled reporting date.

(4) Notwithstanding any provision of this rule, any notice of appeal must be filed within the time limitations specified in Chapter 5 of these rules.

(1) Repayment. An individual shall be required to repay an overpayment of unemployment compensation unless a written application for waiver is filed with the department and approved by the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee.

(2) Methods of collection. In the discretion of the department, an overpayment may be collected in any manner provided by law for the general collection of debts, the collection of debts owed a governmental entity, or any other method of collection specifically authorized in Chapter 8 of Title 34, the Employment Security Law.

(3)

Overpayment waiver.

(a)

Waiver not permitted.

1. Fraud overpayment. An application for waiver shall not be accepted for any overpayment the department determined was the result of fraud attributable to the individual.

2. Federal law. An application for waiver shall not be approved when waiver would be prohibited by federal law or regulation, regardless of an individual's fault.

(b)

Timeliness of waiver request.

1. An application for waiver shall not be approved if it is filed later than fifteen (15) calendar days following the release date of the Notice of Overpayment, provided, however, that the time limitation may be extended upon a showing of extenuating circumstances which prevented the filing of a timely application for waiver by the individual and such circumstances were beyond the individual's control.

Special rule for Covid-19 Pandemic overpayments.

(i) For any Notice of Overpayment that established an overpayment for one or more claim weeks ending February 8, 2020, through June 26, 2021, the fifteen (15) day time limitation to file an application for waiver of overpayment may, in the discretion of the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee, be waived.

(ii) An individual whose application for waiver of overpayment was denied prior to April 15, 2022, for failure to file a timely application for waiver of overpayment may request a redetermination; provided, however, that only overpayment weeks ending February 8, 2020, through June 26, 2021, shall be eligible for redetermination. A redetermination with respect to eligible weeks shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this rule.

(c) Suspension of collections. Collection of an overpayment will be suspended upon the filing of an application for waiver and while the application for waiver is pending.

(d)

Requirements for approval of waiver.

An application for waiver of overpayment of unemployment compensation shall be approved only if:

(i) The individual is determined to be without fault in the cause of the overpayment; and

(ii) Repayment of the overpayment is determined to be contrary to equity and good conscience.

2. An individual shall be determined to be at fault in the cause of the overpayment if the individual brought about such overpayment by the presentation of false or misleading statements or representations, whether or not such action has been determined fraudulent, when such individual could have or should have known the presentation of such information was false or misleading.

Repayment of the overpayment shall be determined contrary to equity and good conscience if:

(i) The individual provides satisfactory evidence of circumstances showing repayment would genuinely work a financial hardship on the individual, such that recovery of the overpayment would result directly in the individual's loss of or inability to obtain the minimal necessities of food, medicine, and shelter for a substantial period of time and such circumstances may be expected to endure for the foreseeable future; and

(ii) The individual provides satisfactory evidence that he or she has no reasonable prospect of future employment or ability to repay the overpayment in the future, due to age, disability, or other good cause.

(e) Burden of proof. The burden of proof shall be on the individual to show the requirements for waiver are met. The individual must specify on the application for waiver why they were without fault in the cause of the overpayment, why repayment would be contrary to equity and good conscience, and include supporting documentation.

(f) Applications for waiver considered on own individual merits. The department shall consider each individual's waiver application separately on its own merits, with due consideration of the facts and circumstances of each individual case; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if the federal government authorizes and approves the department to issue a blanket waiver to a group of similarly situated individuals.

(g) Decision and appeal rights. The Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee shall notify each individual in writing whether the application for waiver of overpayment has been approved or denied. The decision of the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee shall become final unless the individual appeals the decision within 15 days after the notice was mailed or otherwise delivered to the individual.

(h) Refunds. Upon approval of an application for waiver, the department shall not refund any amount collected on the applicable overpayment unless federal law or regulations specifically require a refund to be issued, in which case only those amounts required by federal law or regulations shall be refunded.

(i) Effect of judicial proceedings. A waiver of an unemployment insurance overpayment may be issued by the department in whole or in part upon the finding of a court of law having proper subject matter jurisdiction which rules that error existed in the information utilized to establish such overpayment, whether or not such overpayment was determined to be fraudulent in nature. Additionally, if a court finds repayment of an overpayment should be waived by virtue of discharge in bankruptcy under federal bankruptcy law, waiver will be granted.

(4) Federal conformity. This rule shall apply and be given effect only to the extent it is consistent with federal law and regulations, and would not create a federal conformity issue.

(2) Approval of claims. Payments shall be made for partial unemployment only upon the approval of the Commissioner. Approval shall be based upon the conditions set forth in these regulations.

(3) Effect of approved claim. A properly completed and approved employer filed partial unemployment claim shall constitute a claim for unemployment insurance benefits on behalf of an employee with respect to the week of partial unemployment covered by the claim.

(4) Notice of approval. The Department will furnish the employer with notice of the approval of the initial employer filed partial claims; however, because employer filed partial unemployment claims are employer-initiated claims based upon lack of work, such employers will not receive Form DOL-1199FF (notice of initial claim) with respect to these claims. The employer will receive its quarterly notification of charges against its account as provided by O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-157(d) and O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-159 .

(5) Permitted duration of claims. Six (6) consecutive weeks of total unemployment immediately following a week of full-time or part-time employment may be claimed by an employer. Following those six (6) consecutive weeks of total unemployment, an employer who requests permission and shows justifiable cause may, upon approval of the Commissioner, file employer filed partial unemployment claims for four (4) additional weeks of total unemployment, provided the employer provides a firm return to work date for such employees within the four (4) week time period.

(6)

Required notification to employee. The employer shall immediately advise the employee to report to the Department for the purpose of registering for work and reporting on his or her claim upon the earliest of:

(a) The employer being unable to provide a firm return to work date;

(b) The expiration of the approved time period for acceptance of employer filed partial unemployment claims passes; or

(7)

Filing requirements.

(a) The Commissioner may require the filing of all employer filed partial unemployment claims electronically.

(b) The employer shall complete an affidavit in such form as approved by the Commissioner with respect to the employer filed partial unemployment.

(c) An employee may be required to complete an applicant profile, identity verification, and a weekly certification of eligibility to receive payment for a week of partial unemployment.

(8)

Limitations on employer filed partial claims. Employer filed partial unemployment claims shall not be submitted or allowed for:

(a) Unemployment due to any cause other than lack of work;

(b) Vacation days regardless of whether such vacation days were requested by the employee or established by the employer, except that such claims are permitted during an employer company shutdown or employer established vacation period when such shutdown or vacation period is due to circumstances outside the employer's control which directly affect the employer's business operations;

(c) Regular breaks in seasonal employment, except that employer filed partial unemployment claims may be filed when unusual circumstances require a break in employment at a time of normal, non-seasonal work;

(d)

Any claim week:

1. Ending more than thirty (30) days in the past; or

2. Ending within 5 years of the date the employer's account was newly registered with the department;

(e)

Any employee:

1. Who has any other issue as to entitlement of unemployment benefits, in which case, the employee will be required to file their own individual claim for benefits;

2. Who is engaged in Part-time Employment as defined in these rules (in other words, employer filed partial claims may only be filed for an employee engaged in Full-time Employment - an employee engaged in Part-time Employment must file their own individual claim for benefits); or

3. For whom an employer has not reported wages to the Department on at least one prior tax and wage report; or

(f) Any employer with delinquent quarterly tax and wage reports or delinquent taxes, reimbursements in lieu of contributions, assessments, penalties, or interest owed to the Department.

(9) Waiver of limitations. In the discretion of the Commissioner, the limitations set forth in paragraph (8) may be waived. Waiver requests should be submitted in writing to UI Claims Administration.

(10) Fraud and abuse. Any employer found by the Commissioner to have abused the purpose and intent of the employer filed partial claims program or found to have filed a fraudulent employer filed partial claim shall, in the discretion of the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee, be restricted from filing employer filed partial claims and any employer filed partial claims previously filed by the employer may be cancelled. In addition to the criminal penalties provided in the Employment Security Law, the Department may require repayment by the employer of any amounts paid for fraudulent employer filed partial unemployment claims filed by the employer.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-4-.10 Mass Separation Notices

(1) Purpose. This rule establishes how an employer reports a mass separation to the Department for purposes of administering the unemployment insurance program. The Mass Separation Notice (Form DOL-402, with continuation sheet Form DOL-402A) is an administrative tool used to expedite the processing of unemployment insurance claims arising from group separations.

(2)

When a mass separation notice is required. An employer or employing unit must file a Mass Separation Notice when twenty-five (25) or more workers at a single establishment are separated on the same day, for the same reason, and the separation is:

(a) Permanent;

(b) For an indefinite period; or

(3) Filing deadline. The employer must file the completed Form DOL-402, together with Form DOL-402A if more than one worker is listed, within forty-eight (48) hours after the separation occurs.

(4)

How to file.

(a) Electronic filing encouraged. Employers are encouraged to file the Mass Separation Notice electronically through the Employer Portal on the Department's website or by another electronic method designated by the Commissioner.

(b) Alternative filing. If electronic filing is not available to the employer, the employer may file the notice with the Department by email to the address designated by the Commissioner, or by hard copy delivered or mailed to the Department's office serving the employer's place of business.

(5)

Separations due to a labor dispute.

(a) For total or part-total unemployment caused by a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute, the employer or employing unit must file only Form DOL-402 within forty-eight (48) hours after the unemployment first occurs. The notice must describe the existence and nature of the dispute and must be filed with the Department's UI Legal Section through the electronic method designated by the Commissioner or, if electronic filing is unavailable, at the address published on the Department's website.

(b) On request of the Department, the employer or employing unit must, within four (4) business days, provide the names and Social Security numbers of the workers ordinarily attached to the establishment where the unemployment is caused by the strike, lockout, or other labor dispute.

(6) Relationship to individual Separation Notices. An employer that timely files a Form DOL-402 (and Form DOL-402A, if applicable) for a covered separation is not required to issue a Form DOL-800 "Separation Notice" under Rule 300-2-7-.06 to the workers listed on the mass separation notice.

(7) Scope of the Department's enforcement. The Department enforces this rule only as necessary to administer the unemployment insurance program. The Department will not initiate enforcement action where the information needed to adjudicate affected claims has otherwise been timely furnished, or where enforcement is sought for a purpose unrelated to the administration of unemployment insurance benefits. Nothing in this rule creates a private right of action.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-4-.11 Extended Benefits

(1) The purpose of this section of the rules is to identify certain provisions of federal law which establish requirements for extended benefits, as described in OCGA Section 34-8-197 , and to define certain limitations under state law for payment of such extended benefits by the department on or after February 17, 2009.

(2) Extended benefits are made available to unemployment claimants through state unemployment insurance programs pursuant to requirements of the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970, Public Law 91-373, Section 201 et seq. , as amended. Said law establishes certain insured unemployment rate and total unemployment rate triggers which the states must adopt for the payment of extended benefits.

(3) Section 2005 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 , hereinafter referred to as ARRA, directed the Secretary of Labor to provide instructions to states to identify new, alternate unemployment rate triggers which states could adopt on a temporary or permanent basis for payment of extended benefits to individuals who had exhausted all current eligibility to state unemployment compensation and federal extended benefits in 2009. Section 2005 of ARRA provides for full federal funding, also known as 100% federal funding, of the costs of extended benefits paid by states under the Secretary's instructions.

(4)

Alternate Temporary Extended Benefit Triggers.

(a)

In 2009, Georgia enacted the Georgia Works Job Creation and Protection Act of 2009, Georgia House Bill 581, Ga. L. 2009, p. 139, Section 9 of which adopted new alternate, temporary triggers permitted by Section 2005 of ARRA, thereby making extended unemployment benefits available to eligible individuals under OCGA Code Section

34-8-197

. For the purposes of extended benefits authorized under amended Code Section

34-8-197

and in accordance with the intent of the legislature in adopting the permitted triggers, the legislature stated at OCGA Code Section

34-8-197(a)(3)(B)(ii)

(ii) This subparagraph shall apply through the week ending three weeks prior to the last week for which 100 percent federal funding is authorized and provided pursuant to either Section 2005(a) of Public Law 111-5 or any extension thereof that does not impose any new condition upon receipt of such federal funding. Such language is a limitation upon the payment of extended benefits under the amended Code Section. Extended benefits are only payable under the provisions cited during such period of time as 100% federal funding, also known as full federal funding, is available to the state for reimbursement of extended benefits paid.

(b) In 2011, Georgia enacted Georgia House Bill 500, Ga. L. 2011, Act 93, Section 1 of which adopted an additional new alternate, temporary trigger with a three-year look back provision permitted by Section 2005 of ARRA, as amended, effective until December 31, 2011. Georgia 2011 House Bill 500 provides for retroactive eligibility and payment of weekly extended benefits to those individuals who establish eligibility from the effective date of prior Georgia 2009 House Bill 581 until December 31, 2011. The Commissioner, in his discretion, may direct that payments of extended benefits be made, without interruption, to all eligible claimants from the date of the last week of eligibility under OCGA Section 34-8-197(a)(3)(B)(i) until the first week of payment eligibility under OCGA Section 34-8-197(a)(3)(B)(ii) , as amended, subject to the 100 percent federal funding limitation identified in subparagraph (4)(a) above.

(5) Any future payment period of extended benefits under OCGA Section 34-8-197 , if not specifically authorized by Section 2005 of ARRA or an extension thereof, shall be made in accordance with the applicable federal and state legislation authorizing such payment period.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-4-.12 Coordination of Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation with Regular State Unemployment Compensation

(1)

An individual with remaining entitlement to pandemic emergency unemployment compensation with respect to a benefit year that expired after December 27, 2020, shall file a new initial claim for regular state unemployment compensation as a prerequisite to receiving any weeks of unemployment compensation after the prior benefit year expired. If, as of the effective date of filing a new initial claim:

(a) The individual cannot establish a valid claim for regular state unemployment compensation, payment of pandemic emergency unemployment compensation with respect to the expired benefit year shall resume until entitlement to such benefits has exhausted;

(b) The individual can establish a valid claim for regular state unemployment compensation with a weekly benefit amount of at least $25.00 less than the weekly benefit amount of the expired benefit year, a new benefit year of regular state unemployment compensation shall be established, provided; however, that payment of regular state unemployment compensation shall be deferred until entitlement to pandemic emergency unemployment compensation with respect to the expired benefit year has exhausted; or

(c) The individual can establish a valid claim for regular state unemployment compensation with a weekly benefit amount greater than the weekly benefit amount of the expired benefit year less $25.00, a new benefit year of regular state unemployment compensation shall be established and such individual shall not be entitled to pandemic emergency unemployment compensation with respect to the expired benefit year until entitlement to regular state unemployment compensation with respect to the new benefit year has exhausted.

(2) This rule shall only be given effect to the extent that it is consistent with Section 206 of the Continued Assistance for Unemployed Workers Act of 2020 or otherwise does not create a conformity issue with federal law.

If the statewide average unemployment rate for April or October is not published or not available in time for use under Code Section 34-8-193(d), the Department shall substitute the statewide average unemployment rate for the most recent month available. The substitute rate shall remain in effect for the period the unavailable rate would have applied, provided, however, that if the unavailable rate later becomes available, the Department may, in the discretion of the Commissioner, make retroactive or prospective adjustments to ensure all individual calculations under Code Section 34-8-193(d) for initial claims filed during the period are based on the applicable April or October rate, but only if such adjustments are administratively feasible and consistent with due process.

Subject 300-2-5 Appeals

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-5-.01 Employer Tax Liability Appeals

(1) For the purposes of this rule, "tax liability" shall mean the status of an employing unit as a liable or not liable employer. It shall not mean any specific sum that has been assessed or specific tax rate that has been assigned to an employing unit.

(2)

Determination of liability.

(a) Liability for unemployment insurance taxes shall be based upon the definitions found in the Employment Security Law, primarily to include "employing unit", "employer", "employment", and "wages". Definitions of these same terms from the common law or other state or federal laws shall not be controlling. Likewise, neither the language of a contract, such as an independent contractor agreement, nor a party's belief about the status of a worker shall be controlling. A determination of unemployment insurance tax liability shall be based on the true underlying nature of the relationship between a worker and an entity.

(b)

Any entity ("employing unit") that remunerates any individual for the performance of personal services in this state shall cooperate with the department for the purposes of determining unemployment insurance tax liability.

1. It shall be the duty of any such employing unit to ensure it is either compliant with the unemployment insurance reporting and tax requirements of the law and these rules, or that it is entitled to a specific statutory exemption from such requirements.

2. In any administrative proceeding before the department or Office of State Administrative Hearings, an employing unit shall bear the burden of proof to show it is entitled to an exemption from the reporting and tax requirements of the law and these rules.

If an individual is remunerated by a different entity than the one for whom such personal services are actually performed, the entity remunerating the individual shall have the duty of ensuring compliance with the reporting and tax requirements of the law and these rules. Such entity shall:

(i)

Cooperate in disclosing to the department:

(I) The identity of any entity for whom the individual performed the personal services at issue; and

(II) The frequency and nature of the relationship, including any written agreements governing the payment of the wages at issue and any commonality of ownership with any such entity; and

(ii) Have the burden of proof to show the services are exempt from unemployment insurance taxes, or, if such services are not exempt, to show liability for the services should be assigned to another entity, whether through the agency provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-34 or otherwise.

4. Failure to cooperate with the department or to meet the burden of proof may result in liability being assigned to the entity remunerating the individual.

(c)

The determination as to the unemployment insurance tax liability of any employing unit shall be based upon the information contained in a properly executed Form DOL-1 or Form DOL-1A, "Employer Status Report", or Form DOL-1G, "Registration of Governmental Organizations", together with other available information and reports of investigations.

1. For the purpose of determining liability of any employing unit as defined in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-33 ,"week" means a period of seven (7) consecutive calendar days beginning with the first day of the calendar week and ending at midnight on the last day of such calendar week during a calendar year. If any such week includes December 31 and January 1, the days up to January 1 shall be deemed one calendar week and the days beginning January 1 another such week.

2. The employing unit shall be promptly notified of the determination and the reasons thereof.

(3)

Appeals from a determination of tax liability.

(a)

Any interested party who claims to be aggrieved by a determination of unemployment insurance tax liability may protest the findings contained in the determination and such protest, in writing, shall be deemed as an appeal from such determination.

1. In addition to appeals from a determination of tax liability, the law or these rules may provide the right to an administrative appeal hearing to protest a specific unemployment insurance tax related determination made by the department. When such a right has been specifically provided in the law or these rules, the protest shall be handled in accordance with the procedures set forth in this rule, unless the law or rules provide that the Commissioner shall preside at the hearing and be the ultimate decision maker.

2. There shall be no right to an administrative appeal hearing to protest any unemployment insurance tax determination unless such a right is specifically provided in the law or these rules.

3. Neither the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Tribunal nor Board of Review shall have jurisdiction over an appeal of an unemployment insurance tax liability determination.

4. The filing of an appeal shall not stop the accrual of penalty or interest on delinquent reports and taxes.

(b) The protest shall set forth the specific grounds for the protest and shall be filed with the unit in the department which released the determination within fifteen (15) days of the date of mailing of the tax liability determination. An appeal shall be considered timely filed with the department if it is postmarked or hand delivered within fifteen days of the mailing date of the determination of liability. For purpose of these rules, a postal meter mark will not be considered to be a postmark. Determinations which are appealed via alternative means of delivery such as electronically, private courier, or otherwise in parcels lacking physical evidence of delivery by the U.S. Postal Service shall be deemed filed the date the appeal is received by the department pursuant to Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-13-23 .

(c) The department shall promptly compile sufficient copies of the record and forward them with the appeal to the Office of State Administrative Hearings (OSAH) where it will be processed in accordance with the Georgia Administrative Procedures Act (O.C.G.A. Section 50-13-1 , et seq.).

(d) In preparation for a hearing before the Office of State Administrative Hearings, any interested party shall be allowed to examine or review relevant confidential department records in addition to those filed with the record and appeal to the Office of State Administrative Hearings. A written request for such examination or review must be received by the department reasonably in advance of the scheduled hearing. The request must be consistent with the disclosure provisions of the Employment Security Law at O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-120 , et seq.

(4)

Appeals from the employer tax liability determination rendered by the Administrative Law Judge shall be made directly to Superior Court and not to the board of review. The decision of the Administrative Law Judge shall become final and binding thirty (30) days from the date the Administrative Law Judge's final order is dated and filed with the Office of State Administrative Hearings unless, prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period, a petition for judicial review is filed with the Superior Court as provided by Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section

50-13-19

. No stay shall operate after the expiration of the thirty (30) day appeal rights to Superior Court. The Commissioner shall be a party at interest to such decision.

(a) A party at interest who has filed an appeal for judicial review to the Superior Court, may, upon request, be supplied information from the records of the department to the extent necessary for the proper presentation of an appeal to the Superior Court. The request must be consistent with the confidentiality provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-120 , et seq.

(b) Service. A petition for judicial review to Superior Court must join the Commissioner as a party at interest in the action. Timely service may be perfected upon the Commissioner either personally or by mail at the Georgia Department of Labor, 148 International Boulevard, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30303-1751. Service by any other means shall not be sufficient.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-5-.02 Benefit Appeals to an Administrative Hearing Officer

(1)

The appeal.

(a) Any party of interest dissatisfied with an administrative determination may file in writing a notice of appeal with the department, setting forth the name of the claimant and the social security number contained on the determination and the date of such determination. An appeal may be filed online via internet, by mail, by overnight statutory mail, or by hand delivery to the department.

(b) A determination establishing or denying a right to draw benefits shall be deemed final, unless a written appeal is filed within fifteen (15) days after the determination is handed to or mailed to an interested party. An appeal will be considered timely filed if it is properly filed via the internet (in accordance with instructions provided by the department for such filing), postmarked, or hand delivered within fifteen (15) days of the mailing date of the determination. For purposes of these rules, a postal meter mark will not be considered to be a postmark. Determinations which are appealed via alternative means of delivery such as private courier, or otherwise in parcels lacking physical evidence of delivery by the U.S. Postal Service shall be deemed filed on the date the appeal is received by the department pursuant to Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-13-23 .

(c) An employer who is liable for the payment of unemployment insurance tax, is reimbursable or is a governmental agency; who has paid that individual insured wages for services; and who is entitled to notice of claim filed by that individual as the most recent employer, as defined by O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-43 , shall be deemed to be an interested party to the administrative determination of such claim.

(2)

The notice of hearing.

(a) Claimant benefit hearings shall be scheduled promptly to be conducted by telephone. The Chief Administrative Hearing Officer shall determine the time, place, and manner in which telephone appeals hearings shall be conducted. Once a hearing has been scheduled, postponement or continuation of the hearing is within the discretion of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer or their designee or, if the hearing has commenced, the administrative hearing officer presiding over the hearing. In person hearings will only be scheduled when physical impairments of the interested parties and/or witnesses, the complexity or nature of the case and other pertinent factors are shown to the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer or their designee, who shall determine whether the need for an in person hearing has been established, and the time, place, and manner in which any such in person hearing shall be conducted.

(b) Hearings conducted telephonically, except where waiver is given, shall be heard by an administrative hearing officer no earlier than ten (10) days after written notice of the time and place is mailed to the interested parties. In-person appeals, when allowed and except where waiver is given, shall be heard by an administrative hearing officer at the earliest possible date, but no earlier than seven (7) days after written notice of the time and place is mailed to the interested parties.

(c) The notice of hearing shall cite the sections of law pertinent to the appeal and include a general statement of the issues involved.

(3)

The hearing.

(a) The administrative hearing officer shall administer the oath to all witnesses prior to accepting testimony and shall conduct the hearing in an orderly manner, maintaining control and preventing any disruption of the hearing process. The administrative hearing officer shall develop the record by conducting appropriate inquiries and shall allow each party an opportunity to examine and cross-examine witnesses on all matters pertinent to the issues. No testimony shall be taken that does not permit the parties of interest an opportunity for cross-examination. Any individual who disrupts the procedures, after warning, may be ejected and denied any further participation in the hearing.

(b)

Issuance of subpoenas. Subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of records pertinent to any hearing of an appeal shall be issued by the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer upon request therefor from a party of interest. The Department shall be a party of interest for the purposes of this rule.

1. The Department must receive the request for subpoenas at least five (5) business days prior to the hearing date.

2. The request shall state the reason why the subpoenas are needed.

3. The party requesting the subpoenas shall have the responsibility of serving the subpoenas.

4. Service shall be completed no less than three (3) business days prior to the hearing date for it to be considered timely.

5. The Department shall not be responsible for any fees associated with the production of documents or service of subpoenas.

(c)

Witness Fees.

1. In-Person Hearings. A witness fee of $10.00 per day per docket shall be paid to a subpoenaed person in attendance at an in-person hearing; provided, however, that no witness fee shall be paid unless the subpoenaed person makes written request to the Department, on a form established by the Department, within seven (7) days of participation in the hearing. The total witness fees paid to an individual shall not exceed $30.00 per appeal. Witness fees shall not be paid to a party representative or an employee of an employer subpoenaed by that employer.

2. Telephonic Hearings. Witness fees shall only be paid for attendance at in-person hearings.

(d) Appeals involving multi-claimants or a labor dispute may be heard by a three-person tribunal consisting of an administrative hearing officer, as chairman, and two other members appointed by the Commissioner for that purpose, except when the administrative hearing officer is designated to hear the matter alone. When heard by a three-person tribunal, the decision of two-members of the tribunal shall constitute the decision of the tribunal. The other member may file a dissenting report giving reasons for not agreeing with the decision.

(e) Appeals involving multi-claimants or involving a labor dispute may be heard at any place designated by the chairman of the three-person tribunal or the designated administrative hearing officer hearing these appeals.

(4) Form and contents of decision. The administrative hearing officer shall observe the suggestions of the Employment and Training Administration, United States Department of Labor in regard to the form and contents of benefit decisions.

(5) A postponement of the hearing may be granted upon request showing providential cause will prevent the attendance of a party or essential witnesses. A request for postponement must be made at the earliest practical time and must be made in writing. In the absence of very unusual circumstances, a business engagement will not constitute good cause for postponement. Such requests may be granted or denied at the discretion of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer.

(6) Requests to reopen a hearing. Any interested party, including the department, who fails to appear may request to reopen a hearing within fifteen (15) days after the administrative hearing officer's decision is issued. The petition shall state fully the ground upon which the request to reopen a hearing is sought, giving complete details for the failure to appear as scheduled. A new hearing will then be scheduled to cover the issue of the party's failure to appear as scheduled and may also include the issues raised on the initial appeal. In the absence of very unusual circumstances a business engagement will not constitute good cause to reopen a hearing. The petition to reopen a hearing may be granted upon a showing of providential cause for failure to attend or failure to give timely notice of inability to attend the original hearing.

(7) Correction of error and augmentation of the record. Any interested party, including the department, may request correction of an administrative hearing officer or the board of review decision if the request is made in writing and filed or mailed within fifteen (15) calendar days of the release date of the decision. The administrative hearing officer or the board of review retains jurisdiction to reopen the hearing, amend or correct any decision which is not final, or exercise continuing jurisdiction as provided by the rules pertaining to OCGA Section 34-8-220 unless the board of review has accepted an appeal. Whenever a request for correction is submitted to the administrative hearing officer or the board of review, a decision will be issued and new appeal rights will be established.

(8) Requests for removal of an administrative hearing officer from a case. A party may request that an administrative hearing officer remove himself or herself from a case on the basis of partiality, interest or prejudice. An administrative hearing officer's employment with the department shall not, by itself, be sufficient cause for removal of an administrative hearing officer from a case. The request for removal must be made in writing prior to the hearing, unless the reason for the request was not or could not have been known prior to the hearing. The request must state specific facts which are alleged to establish cause for removal. If the administrative hearing officer agrees that he or she should be reassigned, another administrative hearing officer will be assigned to the case. However, if the administrative hearing officer finds no reason to remove himself or herself, he or she will rule on the request verbally during the hearing and explain the basis for the ruling. Challenges to the partiality of the administrative hearing officer will not result in a delay of the hearing. Appeals pertaining to the partiality of the administrative hearing officer may be filed consistent with the time limitations for appealing the decision.

(1) Attorney fees. Counsel for claimant shall, upon application and approval by the board of review, be authorized to charge and receive from the claimant, for an appearance before either an appeals tribunal or the board of review, a fee in an amount not to exceed $300.00 for each appearance; provided that for an appearance before the board of review which required counsel to travel a distance of more than twenty-five (25) miles, an additional amount may be authorized by the board. Provided, further, that the total allowance authorized on any claim shall not be in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the amount involved in the claim. Only for good cause shown to the satisfaction of the board of review may an allowance in excess of these amounts be approved.

(2) Supplying information from the department. Information from the records of the department to the extent necessary for the proper presentation of a claim before an administrative hearing officer or the board of review shall be available to the interested parties upon request. Any interested party may have access to the information in the records pertinent to the claim or claims to the extent of reviewing the file or files. The department shall release the entire file whenever a case is taken to court, but shall not be compelled to release a copy or permit the copying of any confidential or privileged communications prior to such proceedings in a court of record. Copies may be obtained only as otherwise provided in Section 300-2-6-.02 of these rules.

(3)

Representation before appeals tribunals and board of review.

(a) Any individual may appear in person in any proceeding before any appeals tribunal or before the board of review. A partnership may be represented by any member. A corporation or association may be represented by any of its officers or agents. Any party may be represented by counsel or any agent of their choice, as provided in OCGA Section 34-8-251 .

(b) Appearance before the board of review on behalf of the department shall be limited to members of the staff designated by the Commissioner.

(4) Excused for cause. No administrative hearing officer, member of a three-person tribunal or member of the board of review shall participate in a hearing to determine the issues in any appeal in which that individual has an interest in the outcome.

(5) An appeal shall be considered to be timely filed if the appeal is filed on the next day the office of the department is open and the last day for filing the appeal fell on a Saturday, Sunday, official holiday for which the department's offices were closed or the department's office was closed due to a temporary emergency. An appeal shall be considered to be filed on the same date as the postmark cancellation date shown on its envelope, or the actual date of receipt by the department if there is no postmark cancellation date or if the date on the envelope is illegible. A postage meter date shall not be considered for purposes of timeliness. An appeal may be filed in person, electronically, or by mail. For purposes of these rules, a postal meter mark will not be considered to be a postmark.

(6) Ex parte communications. No parties will be permitted to discuss the merits or facts of any pending case with the administrative hearing officer assigned to the case or the board of review either before or after the hearing, prior to the issuance of the decision, unless all other parties to the case have been given notice and opportunity to be present. Any discussions between the parties and the administrative hearing officer or the board of review on procedural issues or inadvertent ex parte information regarding the merits of the case will be reported to the parties at the time of the hearing and made a part of the record. Discussions with department employees who are not designated to represent the department on the issue or who do not provide factual information and are not expected to participate in the hearing of the case, are not ex parte communications and do not need to be made a part of the record.

1. To an agent who acts for or in the place of an individual, by the authority of that individual, if the agent presents a written release (which may include an electronically submitted release if acceptable to the department) from the individual being represented which release the State determines is authentic and specifically identifies the information and type of information to be released;

2. To an elected official performing constituent services, if the official presents reasonable evidence (such as a letter from the individual requesting assistance) that the individual has authorized such disclosure;

3. To an attorney retained for purposes related to the unemployment insurance law, if the attorney asserts in writing that he or she is representing the individual.

To a third party that is not acting as an agent who will receive confidential information following an informed consent disclosure on an ongoing basis (even if such entity is an agent), but only if that entity obtains a written release from the individual to whom the information pertains.

(i)

The release must be signed and must include a statement-

(I) Specifically identifying the information that is to be disclosed;

(II) That state government files will be accessed to obtain that information;

(III) Of the specific purpose or purposes for which the information is sought and a statement that information obtained under the release will only be used for that purpose or purposes; and

(II) Carrying out administration or evaluation of a public program to which the release pertains.

(iii) The department shall determine the cost and charges for providing disclosure under this subparagraph 4, and the recipient of such data shall execute an agreement to pay all such charges in advance of delivery of the data. In no event shall the information provided under subparagraph 4 be released, disclosed or redisclosed in any manner. Such data shall not be captured or stored in the recipient's databases except as necessary to fulfill the associated, authorizing consumer initiated transaction. Such data shall not be used for purposes of marketing, including, but not limited to, prescreened firm or conditional offers of credit.

(d)

Except as otherwise provided under paragraph (1) of this rule or other applicable law, including 20 CFR 603, when disclosure of departmental records is permitted under Code Sections

34-8-120

et seq.

, a fee and copy costs shall be charged and paid in advance for requested records, as follows:

1. A minimum fee of $20.00 shall be charged for copies of records which can be accessed and produced by department staff from readily retrievable computer records and equipment;

2. A fee of $20.00 plus $25.00 per hour for the time required to identify, locate, redact, collate, and otherwise prepare such records for copying for disclosure, with a minimum charge of $45.00 for the first hour, shall be charged for any records which cannot be accessed and produced by department staff solely from readily retrievable computer records and equipment;

3. The amount of $.25 per page shall be charged for each page copy supplied, regardless of the format (paper copy, electronic copy) in which such copies are provided; and

4. Fees in accordance with subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this subparagraph shall be charged for each records request made and charges must be paid in advance.

(2)

Records with respect to the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) shall be subject to access and review as follows:

(a) Individual employee and employer files shall be subject to review as necessary for the proper administration of the WIA program in Georgia. Information released to a "One-Stop Operator" or "One-Stop Partner", as those terms are defined in WIA, or to any other authorized participant in the WIA program in Georgia shall be provided on an as-needed basis only and shall be used exclusively for WIA purposes and for activities that assist in the operation and management of the department in fulfillment of its duties; such departmental duties include, but are not limited to, participant follow-up surveys, provider performance assessments, and the collection and reporting of labor market information;

(b) Information with respect to WIA bid proposals and grants or contract data for any successful WIA grant or sub grant recipients shall be available for public access and review concerning all unsuccessful bidders; and

(c) Pursuant to Section 185(a)(4)(B) of the Workforce Investment Act, some records are excluded from disclosure. These exceptions include the disclosure of information that would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and privileged and confidential financial information. Specifically, disclosure of a participant's social security number is subject to this exception.

(3) Records with respect to the state's Employment Service Program, including such records as may be utilized under WIA by any "One-Stop Operator" or "One-Stop Partner", as those terms are defined in WIA, or by any other authorized participant in the WIA program in Georgia, shall not be disclosed or redisclosed, provided, however, the department may release data concerning individuals or employing units as necessary to perform follow-up surveys or similar administrative functions, provided, further, the department shall require by contract that any agency or entity performing such functions must protect the data and use it only for the purposes as described in the contract.

(4) Any request to disclose or redisclose confidential data which was entrusted to the Commissioner of Labor in the administration of the unemployment insurance program or other federally funded programs for which the department has responsibility shall provide the Commissioner with notice and an opportunity to respond; otherwise, such request shall not be honored. Any individual or entity in possession of such confidential data under the provisions of this rule is subject to this requirement.

(5) Disclosure of confidential unemployment insurance benefit or wage data or other claim information in response to a court order, subpoena, discovery, request for production of documents, notice to produce or similar court-enforceable inquiry, or in response to a non-court official with subpoena authority, is permissible when issued in compliance with O.C.G.A. 34-8-126 and 20 CFR 603.7(b) and in such a manner that the Commissioner was first provided a meaningful opportunity to respond to the order, subpoena, request for production of documents or similar compulsory process.

(6) In conjunction with the administration of OCGA Section 34-9-243 which allows for credit or reduction in worker's compensation benefits for the amount of unemployment insurance benefits received by a claimant, the department shall divulge to an employer or its agent, evidence of unemployment insurance benefits paid. An employer will have a right to records that pertain to the amount of unemployment benefits paid, subject to the maintenance of confidentiality for the individual claimant. No subpoena, order, or similar compulsory process shall require disclosure of confidential data other than to identify the dates and amounts of payment as necessary to compute such credit.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-7-.06 Separation Notices Required from Employers

(1) Purpose and use of the Separation Notice. The Form DOL-800 ("Separation Notice") exists solely to assist the Department in the administration of the unemployment insurance program under the Employment Security Law. The notice is an administrative tool used, when needed, to expedite the processing of unemployment insurance claims. It is not intended to serve, and shall not be used as, a record of employment, a service letter, evidence of the reason for separation in any non-unemployment proceeding, or documentation for any other purpose unrelated to the administration of unemployment insurance benefits.

(2) When a separation notice is required. An employer must give a completed Separation Notice to each worker separated from employment, no matter the reason for the separation. This requirement does not apply when the employer files a mass separation notice on Form DOL-402 or Form DOL-402A.

(3)

How to deliver the Separation Notice.

(a)

Electronic delivery encouraged. Employers are encouraged to deliver the Separation Notice electronically. Electronic delivery satisfies this Rule if the employer:

1. Sends the completed notice to an email address, employee self-service portal, or other electronic system the employee uses or has been given access to for employment-related communications;

2. Uses a method that produces a record the employer can retain and reproduce; and

3. Signs the notice using any electronic signature that complies with the Georgia Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, including a typed name, a digital signature, or an authenticated entry in the employer's payroll or HR system.

(b) Hard-copy delivery. An employer may deliver a signed paper copy of the Separation Notice to the employee.

(c) Timing. The employer must deliver the Separation Notice, electronically or in hard copy, on the employee's last day of work.

(d)

Employee unavailable. If the employee is not available on the last day of work, the employer must, within three (3) days after the separation occurs or becomes known to the employer, send the notice to the employee by:

1. Email or another electronic method the employee uses for employment communications; or

2. U.S. mail to the employee's last known address.

(4) Use of the Separation Notice when filing a claim. A claimant filing for unemployment insurance must provide if requested by the department a copy of the Separation Notice issued by the most recent employer.

(5)

Employer response to a claim. If the employer is the most recent employer as defined in the law and these rules, the Department may send the employer a Form DOL-1199FF or Form DOL-403FF, "Notice of Claim Filed and Request for Separation Information".

(a) If the employer already provided a Separation Notice, the employer's response on Form DOL-1199FF or Form DOL-403FF is optional and, if submitted as instructed, is a timely response to the claim.

(b) If the employer did not provide a Separation Notice, the employer must respond to the claimant's statement on Form DOL-1199FF or Form DOL-403FF as instructed on the form to be considered a timely response.

(6) Completeness and signature. A Separation Notice, Form DOL-403FF, or Form DOL-1199FF must be complete and signed, by handwritten or electronic signature, to qualify as a timely response to a claim.

(7) Recordkeeping. An employer that delivers a Separation Notice electronically must retain proof of delivery (such as a transmission log, system record, or read receipt) for at least four (4) years and produce it upon request by the Department.

(8)

Scope of the Department's enforcement.

(a) When substantive separation information is necessary to adjudicate a claim, it is obtained directly from the employer through the Form DOL-1199FF or Form DOL-403FF after a claim is filed. The Department therefore enforces the requirements of O.C.G.A. § 34-8-190(c) and this Rule only as necessary to administer the unemployment insurance program.

(b)

The Department will not initiate enforcement action based on an employer's failure to issue a Separation Notice where:

1. The employer has timely and completely responded to a Form DOL-1199FF or Form DOL-403FF; or

2. The requested enforcement is sought for a purpose unrelated to the administration of unemployment insurance benefits, including use of the notice as an employment reference, service letter, or evidence in another civil or administrative proceeding.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-7-.07 Employee Leasing Companies

(1) An employee leasing company (or professional employer organization) as that term is defined in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-32 shall not be considered a succeeding employer under the provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-153 and O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-155 with respect to its clients or customers and shall not acquire the unemployment experience history of its clients or customers. The applicable rate of an employee leasing company shall be determined solely on its own unemployment experience after it became an employee leasing company, subject to the provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-153 .

(2) An employee leasing company shall post a surety bond in the amount of the greater of $10,000.00 or two and seven-tenths percent (2.7%) of its taxable payroll for the four (4) calendar quarters ending June 30 th immediately preceding the effective date of the bond to meet the requirements of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-172 . Such surety bond must be issued by an organization currently licensed and authorized to issue such bond in the State of Georgia and renewed on an annual basis in an adjusted amount as deemed appropriate. The bond shall cover a minimum of one full calendar year and shall also cover the remainder of the calendar year in which it is issued. The bond may not include a cancellation clause. In lieu of such bond, an employee leasing company may deposit with the Commissioner a cash deposit, irrevocable letter of credit or equivalent financial securities acceptable to the Commissioner. The cash deposit shall be a comparable amount as described above. Any deposit of money shall be retained by the Commissioner in an escrow account. Securities shall be in an amount equal to the greater of $10,000.00 or two and seven-tenths percent (2.7%) of the taxable payroll for the four (4) calendar quarters ending June 30 th immediately preceding the effective date of the election. At the sole discretion of the Commissioner, an adjustment in the amount of the bond, cash deposit, irrevocable letter of credit or securities may be required upon sixty (60) days prior written notice.

(3)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee leasing company may post a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit or cash deposit in the amount of $5,000.00 and thereby comply with the provisions of this rule if all of the following conditions are met:

(a) The employee leasing company must have been a positive reserve employer as that term is used in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-155 for at least four (4) consecutive quarters during the last twelve (12) quarters immediately preceding the effective date of the bond;

(b) The employee leasing company has not failed during the last twelve (12) quarters immediately preceding the effective date of the bond to file timely all required tax and wage reports, including all such reports of all predecessor employers; and

(c) The employee leasing company submits timely prepayments of unemployment contributions to the department monthly attributable to the applicable portion of the employee leasing company's taxable wage base of the employee leasing company's payroll for each calendar month just completed. This payment is due on the fifteenth (15th) of each month.

(4) The failure of the employee leasing company to submit the prepayment or to attach the supporting data as described herein shall subject the employer to a denial of the privilege to prepay and enjoy the lower bond rate. Should any employee leasing company so fail to submit prepayments and be notified by the Commissioner of the revocation of the privilege, all future employment on behalf of the employee leasing company's clients shall be under that client's name and separate DOL account number.

(5) Any employee leasing company which fails to obtain, or to keep in full force and effect the applicable surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, cash deposit or acceptable securities must report all employment of its clients under the client's name and DOL account number, provided, however, the department shall notify any such client in writing of this eventuality. No employer who is a client of an employee leasing company shall be liable for unemployment contributions for employment previously reported by an employee leasing company until such notification has been received by that employer. Such employer will be liable for contributions only for the period of employment which occurs after the notice has been received. An employee leasing company which elects to treat its clients' employees as its own employees must post the bond required by O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-172 . An employee leasing company which is unable to obtain a bond automatically elects to treat each client's employees as the client's employees and not employees of the employee leasing company. An employee leasing company cannot do both, i.e., it cannot add certain clients' employees to its own payroll but not include others simply to take advantage of lower unemployment tax rates. A wilful violation of this rule may result in termination of the employee leasing company's privilege to make such election. In the event of such termination of election, under the provisions of these rules, no successorship will occur, therefore a new taxable wage base for the particular calendar year will apply at the time of the termination of election.

(6) If an employee leasing company is new in Georgia and has no previous employment history, the amount of the initial bond, irrevocable letter of credit, cash deposit or securities shall be $10,000.00 for the first calendar year. Once the employee leasing company has been in business over six (6) months, the amount for the next calendar year's bond, cash deposit or securities may be computed based upon a pro rata estimate of its taxable wages for the four (4) calendar quarters ending June 30 th immediately preceding the effective date of the bond. Any surety bond in effect will cease to be in force and effect as of the expiration date of such bond, provided all applicable unemployment contributions which cover this time period have been paid.

(7)

All employee leasing companies doing business in Georgia, regardless of whether an adequate bond, irrevocable letter of credit, cash deposit or securities are posted shall maintain and furnish to the department upon request the following records:

(a) A current list of all clients or customers in Georgia by corporate name and by trade name;

(b) A physical and mailing address, if different, for all such clients or customers;

(d) Separate books or records with respect to each client or customer must be maintained, showing, at a minimum, all evidence of wages and other compensation paid to, or on behalf of, the employees, records of hours and days worked and the location where the worker's services were performed;

(e) Names, residence addresses, social security numbers, ownership interests in the employee leasing company, and positions of employment in the employee leasing company of all officers of the employee leasing company;

(f) The federal employer identification number for all clients or customers; and

(g) The employee leasing company must notify the department of any additions, deletions or corrections to the above-described information at least quarterly.

(8) If, after the employee leasing company makes the required deposit, the employee leasing company fails to comply with the Employment Security Law, the department will use the bond, irrevocable letter of credit, cash deposit or securities (or proceeds from the sale of the same) to pay contributions, interest, and penalty due on the account. The department may then require a new deposit, or may require the employee leasing company to separately report all employment under its clients' names and account number and applicable tax rate of each client or customer.

(9) Interest earned on cash deposits will be paid into the same fund as other interest and penalties are paid as provided in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-92 .

(10) All information furnished to the department under this rule shall be treated as confidential information as provided in Code Section 34-8-121 .

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-7-.12 Limited Liability Companies

(1)

Tax treatment of entity.

(a)

Limited liability companies ("LLC") and other similar pass-through entities shall be treated the same as partnerships for the purposes of unemployment contributions.

1. If such entity can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that it is receiving some other type treatment for purposes of federal income taxation, then the Commissioner shall consider that fact in determining whether remuneration paid constitutes taxable wages for purposes of the Employment Security Law.

2. If an LLC is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, the LLC shall likewise be treated as a corporation for purposes of taxation under the Employment Security Law.

(b) This rule does not modify the application of OCGA Section 34-8-34 with respect to the definition of an employing unit or of OCGA Section 34-8-33 with respect to the definition of an employer.

(c) An LLC, like any other covered employer, shall provide the department with its Federal Employer Identification Number when requested or required on any form, determination or letter instruction from the department.

(2)

Liability of members.

(a) If management of the LLC is vested in its members, those members who are actively involved in management shall be deemed jointly and severally liable for payment of unemployment contributions.

(b) If management of the LLC is vested in one or more appointed managers who are not members of the LLC, then, in addition to such managers, all members of the LLC may nonetheless be deemed jointly and severally liable for payment of unemployment contributions, provided, however, any member who can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Labor that the member has no legal authority or control over whether unemployment contributions are paid or employers' quarterly wage and tax reports are filed can be relieved of liability.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-7-.13 Independent Contractors

(1) The term "independent contractor" is not defined or used in the Employment Security Law. Liability for unemployment insurance taxes shall be based on the relevant statutory definitions in the Employment Security Law, as further set forth in Rule 300-2-5-.01 .

(2) In applying the first prong of the test specified in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-35(f) , it shall not be sufficient that the entity who remunerated the individual did not exert significant direction and control over the performance of the services. It must be proved that the individual was free from significant direction and control from the entity who remunerated the individual and any other entity for whom the individual actually performed the services for which remuneration was paid. Personal services shall not be excluded from unemployment insurance coverage solely because an entity that exercised significant direction and control over the performance of the services was not the same entity that remunerated the individual for such services.

(3) In applying the second prong of the test specified in O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-35(f) , it shall not be sufficient that the individual simply holds a professional or occupational license. It must be proved the individual performs the licensed services in question for clients, patients or customers other than the employing unit. Such services must be in the same occupation or line or work as being performed for the employing unit.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-7-.14 Job Openings, Job Referrals, and Reporting Job Refusals

(1) Purpose and scope. This rule is informational. It explains, for the convenience of claimants and employers, where to direct job-opening listings, job referrals, and reports of refused work that affect a claimant's eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits under the Employment Security Law. This Rule does not govern the operation of the State Employment Service or Wagner-Peyser Act programs, which were transferred from the Georgia Department of Labor to the Technical College System of Georgia and are administered by TCSG and its Office of Workforce Development.

(2)

Definitions. For purposes of this Rule:

(a) "Department" or "GDOL" means the Georgia Department of Labor.

(b) "TCSG" means the Technical College System of Georgia, which administers the State Employment Service and Wagner-Peyser Act programs in Georgia.

(c) "WorkSource Georgia" means the public labor exchange system operated by TCSG, or any successor system designated by TCSG.

(3) Listing job openings. An employer with work to offer is encouraged to list the job opening with TCSG through the WorkSource Georgia system or another method designated by TCSG. Listing a job opening with TCSG does not, by itself, satisfy any reporting obligation owed to GDOL under the Employment Security Law or these Rules.

(4)

Direct offers of work to a claimant. If an employer has work to offer a specific claimant who has filed a claim for unemployment insurance benefits with GDOL, the employer should communicate the offer directly to the claimant. If the claimant declines or fails to accept the offer, the employer should report the refusal to GDOL and should include:

(a) The claimant's name and the last four digits of the claimant's Social Security number;

(b) The date the offer was made;

(d) The date and manner in which the claimant declined or failed to accept the offer.

(5) Reporting refusal of a job referral made by TCSG. If TCSG refers a claimant to a suitable job opening and the claimant refuses the referral or fails to apply, GDOL will use information received from TCSG, the employer, or the claimant to determine the claimant's continued eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits. Employers and claimants may report a refused TCSG referral that affects UI eligibility directly to GDOL.

(6) Claimant work-search and registration requirements. A claimant's obligation to register for work and to actively search for suitable work as a condition of UI eligibility is governed by O.C.G.A. § 34-8-195 and Rule 300-2-4-.02 . Where those provisions require registration with the State Employment Service, the claimant satisfies the requirement by registering through WorkSource Georgia or another system designated by TCSG, unless the Commissioner has waived registration for the claimant or class of claimants.

(7) Coordination between GDOL and TCSG. GDOL and TCSG exchange information necessary to administer the unemployment insurance program and Wagner-Peyser Act programs consistent with applicable state and federal law. Nothing in this Rule confers on GDOL any authority over the operation of the State Employment Service or Wagner-Peyser Act programs in Georgia.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-7-.15 Display of Posters for Information of Employees

(1) Purpose. This rule implements O.C.G.A. §§ 34-8-70 and 34-8-190 by requiring liable employers to inform their employees of their rights under the Employment Security Law. This rule permits electronic notice in defined circumstances while preserving physical posting as the default at traditional worksites.

(2)

Definitions. For purposes of this rule:

(a) "Required Notice" means each printed statement, poster, or notice issued by the Commissioner or the Department concerning employee rights under the Employment Security Law, including the current edition of the Department's "Notice to Employees" (DOL-810) and any successor form.

(b) "Worksite" means a physical location owned, leased, or controlled by the employer where one or more employees regularly perform work.

(c) "Remote employee" means an employee who customarily performs work for the employer at a location not owned, leased, or controlled by the employer.

(d) "Electronic posting" means continuous display of the Required Notice through an electronic system the employer customarily uses to communicate with employees, such as an intranet, employee self-service portal, shared drive, or comparable platform.

(e) "Direct electronic delivery" means transmission of the Required Notice to an employee through an electronic method the employer customarily uses to communicate individually with that employee, such as work email, an employee self-service portal account, or an onboarding system, in a format the employee can retain, view, and print.

(3) Liable employers must provide notice. An employer that is or has been liable for unemployment insurance contributions under the Employment Security Law must provide the Required Notice to its employees in accordance with paragraphs (4) through (6). The current Required Notice may be downloaded from the Department's website.

(4) Physical posting at worksites. The employer must post the Required Notice in a conspicuous place at each worksite, in an area readily accessible to all employees who report to that worksite, for example, near a time clock, in a break room, or in another location customarily used to display employee notices. The Required Notice must be legible, current, and unobstructed.

(5) Electronic posting, supplemental. At any worksite where the employer maintains physical posting under paragraph (4), the employer is encouraged to also provide the Required Notice by electronic posting. Electronic posting under this paragraph supplements, but does not replace, physical posting.

(6)

Electronic posting, as a substitute.

(a)

Electronic posting may substitute for physical posting only where:

1. The employer has no worksite as defined in this Rule and all of the employer's Georgia employees are remote employees; or

2. The Required Notice is being provided to remote employees who do not regularly report to a worksite, in which case physical posting is still required at any worksite where non-remote employees report.

(b)

When electronic posting is used as a substitute under this paragraph, the employer must:

1. Ensure the Required Notice is continuously available, not behind a one-time prompt or transient message;

2. Affirmatively inform each affected employee of the electronic location of the Required Notice and how to access it; and

3. Ensure all affected employees are able to access the Required Notice readily, without having to request permission.

(7)

Hire-time delivery to remote employees, safe harbor. Compliance with this paragraph is in lieu of, and not in addition to, the substitute-posting obligations in paragraph (6) for the remote employee to whom the Required Notice has been delivered. An employer satisfies this rule with respect to a remote employee if, at or before the time the remote employee begins work, the employer:

(a) Provides the Required Notice to the employee by direct electronic delivery, or by hard copy included in the employee's onboarding materials;

(b) Obtains a written or electronic acknowledgment that the employee has received the Required Notice, or retains a system record demonstrating delivery; and

(c) Thereafter maintains the Required Notice in a location accessible to the employee that satisfies paragraph (6)(c) and notifies the employee of any updated edition of the Required Notice issued by the Commissioner within thirty (30) days after the update is published.

(8) Employers not liable for contributions. An employer that is not liable, or has ceased to be liable, for unemployment insurance contributions under the Employment Security Law shall not display the Required Notice and shall remove any previously displayed Required Notice.

(9) Recordkeeping. An employer that relies on electronic posting under paragraph (5) or (6) or hire-time delivery under paragraph (7) should retain reasonable evidence of compliance, such as a screenshot of the posting location, a system delivery log, the employee's acknowledgment of receipt, or a dated communication notifying employees of the location or update of the Required Notice.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-8-.03 Employers Electing to Reimburse in Lieu of Paying Contributions

(1)

No eligible employer may change its method of payment from a reimbursable basis to a contributory basis or from a contributory basis to a reimbursable basis unless:

(a) There are no unpaid debts, taxes, contributions, reimbursement amounts, penalty, interest or recording fees outstanding against such employer; and

(b) The employer has completed two (2) calendar years under the prior method (reimbursable basis or contributory basis).

(2)

Election to change from reimbursable to contributory.

(a) In any case in which an employer was first a contributor, then a reimburser, and now terminates such election; according to OCGA Section 34-8-158(d)(2) , such employer shall have an employment experience rating computation as provided in OCGA Section 34-8-155 . This computation shall be computed on the basis of all the employer's experience (contribution period and reimbursement period). The period of reimbursement will be considered a zero-balance period; provided, that all reimbursements billed to the employer are paid.

(b) In any case in which any employer having no prior coverage elects to be on a reimbursable basis and who, at a later date, terminates such election; according to OCGA Section 34-8-158(d)(2) , such employer shall have an employment experience rating computation as provided in OCGA Section 34-8-155 . The computation shall be computed on the basis of all the employer's experience (the reimbursement period only). The period of reimbursement will be considered a zero-balance period, provided that all reimbursements billed to the employer are paid.

(3)

Election to change from contributory to reimbursable.

(a) In any case in which an employer was first a reimburser, then a contributor, and now elects reimbursement, such employer shall have its reserve balance (positive or negative) remain fixed as of the completion of processing of the last quarter of the year preceding the change in method of payment. Such reserve shall be frozen in the event the employer subsequently elects to return to the contributory method.

(b) In any case in which an employer on contributory basis now elects reimbursement, such employer shall have its reserve balance (positive or negative) remain fixed as of the completion of processing of the last quarter of the year preceding the change in method of payment. Such reserve will be frozen in the event the employer subsequently elects to return to the contributory method of payment.

(4)

The standard of acceptance of securities for deposit, as required by law, shall be the same as that required of trustees under Georgia law for investment in bonds and other securities as set forth in OCGA Sections 53-8-6 or 53-13-54. Such securities shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) Bonds or other securities authorized by or issued by this state;

(b) Direct and general obligations of the United States Government;

(d)

Obligations of agencies of the United States Government issued by the:

1. Federal Land Bank;

2. Federal Home Loan Bank;

3. Federal Intermediate Credit Bank; or

4. Central Bank for Cooperatives.

(e) Deposits of funds at interest in any chartered state or national bank or trust company located in this state and which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent of the insurance;

(f) Accounts and certificates of state-chartered associations and federal savings and loan associations, which are insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation to the extent of the insurance.

(g) Irrevocable letters of credit which name the Commissioner of Labor as obligee.

(5)

Acceptance of cash deposit, surety bond and/or acceptable securities may be subject to the approval of a committee of no less than three (3) employees of the department (one of whom is an attorney) appointed by the Commissioner.

(a) Amount. The amount of the securities required by this subsection shall be equal to two and seven-tenths percent (2.7%) of the organization's taxable wages paid for employment as defined in OCGA Section 34-8-49 for the four (4) calendar quarters immediately preceding the effective date of election or anniversary of the effective date of election, whichever date shall be most recent and applicable, or twenty-six (26) times the maximum potential weekly benefit amount as provided in OCGA Section 34-8-193 , whichever amount is higher. If the organization did not pay wages in each of such four (4) calendar quarters the amount of the securities shall be as determined by the Commissioner.

(b) The effective date of a bond, irrevocable letter of credit or other type security instrument shall cover the period of time which equals the benefit year of any claim for benefits which could have been filed by an employee of the employing unit as of the date of notification by the Department to the employing unit of the option to be a reimbursable employer.

(6) Any amount owed to the department by an employing unit which has elected to reimburse benefits paid in lieu of contributions shall be due and payable on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the release date of the Reimbursable Employers Quarterly Bill, Form DOL-621.

(7)

Reimbursable employer benefit costs. In electing reimbursable status, a reimbursable employer agrees to reimburse the benefit trust fund all chargeable benefit costs without the risk sharing and cost sharing benefits of the contributory employer method. All the risk for a reimbursable employer's benefit costs shall be born by the reimbursable employer. Except as provided in subparagraph (b) or otherwise specifically provided by the law or these rules, liability for reimbursable employer benefit costs shall not be shifted to the benefit trust fund, contributory employers, or the department.

(a) A reimbursable employer shall reimburse the unemployment trust fund the full cost of all chargeable benefits paid even if the decision to pay such benefits is later reversed on appeal, thus resulting in a benefit overpayment. If and when the overpaid benefits are collected, the employer's account shall be credited the amount collected.

(b) Pursuant to OCGA Section 34-8-157(b)(2)(C) , benefits shall not be charged to the account of a reimbursable employer when an overpayment is waived.

Two or more employers, as defined in OCGA Section 34-8-161, in the same or related trade, occupation, profession or enterprise; or having a common financial interest, hereinafter referred to as an "Employer Group", may enter into an agreement with the Georgia Department of Labor to establish a Group Account. Such employer group shall be treated as a separate employer account and subject to the following provisions:

(b) No employer may become a member of an employer group until such employer has been liable under this law for a minimum of two (2) calendar years;

(e)

An employer group may be dissolved on any five (5) year anniversary date, provided a written request is made ninety (90) days prior to such anniversary date:

1. By the parent employer, if each member of the employer group is owned or controlled by such parent employer; or

2. By fifty percent (50%) or more of the employers in the employer group.

(f) Each member of an employer group shall be liable individually or collectively for past due payments owed to the department by any member;

(g) No provision in this rule shall be construed as giving any member of any employer group any authority over the operation of another member with respect to the administration of the employer group account.

(1) Pursuant to OCGA Section 34-8-159(4) , the amount due specified in any bill to a reimbursable employer shall be conclusive on the organization unless the organization files an application with the Commissioner for a redetermination not later than fifteen (15) days after the bill was mailed to its last known address or otherwise delivered to it, setting forth the grounds to support a redetermination, including, for each disputed charge: the specific employee(s), the specific amount disputed for each employee, and the specific reason the charge for each employee is disputed. The Commissioner may reject an application for redetermination that fails to comply with the requirements of this paragraph. An application rejected by the Commissioner shall not toll the fifteen (15) day deadline to apply for reconsideration.

(2) No employer shall have standing to contest reimbursable benefit charges made in accordance with a benefit eligibility determination, redetermination, or decision of an administrative hearing officer or Board of Review, except upon the ground that such benefit reimbursements were charged for an individual that was not in liable employment for the employer and only in the event that the employer was not a party to a determination, redetermination, or decision, or to any other proceedings in which liability for the individual was determined.

(3) The Commissioner shall be afforded a reasonable amount of time to review the application (ordinarily ninety (90) days) and issue a redetermination. The reimbursable employer shall have an additional fifteen (15) days after the redetermination is mailed or delivered in which to appeal in writing for a hearing. If no such request is made within that time the redetermination becomes final and no further appeal is allowed.

(4) Hearings on such appeals shall be conducted by the Office of State Administrative Hearings. The amount due as found by the decision of said office shall be conclusive on the organization and the Department of Labor unless the organization or the Department of Labor files an appeal to the Superior Court not later than fifteen (15) days after the written decision was mailed or otherwise delivered by the Office of State Administrative Hearings to the last known address of the organization and the Department of Labor.

Subject 300-2-9 Qualifications and Penalties for Unemployment Insurance Benefits Claims

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-9-.01 Separation by Discharge and the Application of the Provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 34-8-194(2)

(1) An individual shall be disqualified for violation of an employer's rule whenever the employee knew or had reason to know (as an ordinarily prudent person) of the rule, either having been made aware thereof by the employer or through common knowledge; provided, however, no employee shall be disqualified for violating any rule, order or instruction unless the same shall be lawful and reasonably related to the job environment and job performance. Such factors as inconsistency of prior enforcement, unlawfulness and unreasonableness of the rule may be proven by the individual to show that the individual is entitled to benefits. In instances in which there is a dispute as to the true cause of discharge, the claimant shall be afforded the opportunity to challenge or rebut the employer's version of the facts as to the stated reason for the discharge. The employer has the burden of persuasion as to the true cause of discharge.

(2)

In determining whether an individual should be disqualified for benefits under OCGA Section

34-8-194(2)

, the Commissioner shall consider the factors as set out in (a) through (f) below. In each instance, the warning factor shall not be essential, but may be considered under the totality of circumstances; the absence of a warning may likewise be considered, particularly with respect to mitigation of an offense committed by an employee. In each instance, the Commissioner shall not be limited to a consideration of the factors enumerated herein but may consider such other factors as the totality of circumstances dictates. Once an employer has met its burden of proof with respect to a failure of a claimant to obey rules, orders or instruction or to perform the duties for which he was employed, the Commissioner shall consider any of these factors in mitigation of the offense, action or inaction of the employee.

(a)

Where the employee was discharged for absenteeism or tardiness, the Commissioner shall consider:

1. The employer's policy on absenteeism or tardiness and whether the policy was communicated to the employee;

2. Whether the employee had been absent or tardy on prior occasions and had been warned about absenteeism or tardiness;

3. What the employer's policy is with respect to notice of the absence or tardiness and whether the employer was properly notified by the employee;

4. The reason(s) for the absenteeism or tardiness;

5. The frequency of the absenteeism or tardiness; and

6. Whether, upon consideration of the totality of circumstances which surrounded the absences or tardiness, the employee was at fault in the discharge.

(b)

Where the employee was discharged for a violation of rules, orders, instructions or failure to discharge the duties for which employed, the Commissioner shall consider:

1. The manner in which the rules, orders, instructions or duties were made known to the employees including, but not limited to, whether or not the rules were posted or otherwise published prior to the incident causing discharge;

2. Whether a violation of the rules, orders, instructions or duties occurred;

3. Whether the employee failed to discharge the duties for which employed;

4. Whether the violation or the failure to discharge duties was a result of the employee's fault, intentional conduct, conscious neglect or misconduct as defined in these Rules;

5. The extent of the infraction;

6. The impact of the infraction on the employer's operation.

(c)

Where the employee was discharged for property loss or damage, the Commissioner shall consider:

1. Whether the behavior that caused the loss or damage was due to negligence on the part of the employee or was due to intentional conduct on the part of the employee;

2. Whether the employee had been warned (the warning factor is not essential to a disqualification but shall be weighed in light of the circumstances);

3. The extent and amount of the loss or damage;

4. Other aggravating or mitigating circumstances. NOTE: Although a disqualification will be imposed if the loss or damage was found to be the fault of the claimant but there was no evidence of intentional conduct, for a disqualification to be imposed under the provisions of OCGA Section 34-8-194(2)(A)(ii)(I) , the Commissioner must determine the act was intentional and the loss or damage amounted to $2,000.00 or more;

(d)

Where the employee was discharged for intentional conduct which results in bodily injury to the employer, fellow employees, customers, patients, bystanders or the eventual consumer of products, the Commissioner shall consider:

1. Whether the act was intentional;

2. The extent of the physical harm resulting from the act;

3. Any other aggravating or mitigating circumstances (e.g., past provocation; the warning factor is not essential but shall be weighed in light of the circumstances); and

4. The foreseeability of the injury as a result of the act.

5. The term "bystanders" shall include anyone who was legally entitled to be in such close proximity to the location of the occurrence of the act as to be physically injured. The term "bystanders" could include, but shall not be limited to, governmental officials, independent contractors or other persons. NOTE: Although a disqualification will be imposed if the act by the claimant was found to be the fault of the claimant but there was no evidence of intentional conduct, for a disqualification to be imposed under the provisions of OCGA Section 34-8-194(2)(A)(i)(I), the Commissioner must determine the act was intentional;

(e)

Where the employee was discharged for engaging in a physical fight or threatening behavior on the employer's premises or while on the job under the provisions of OCGA Section

34-8-194(2)(A)(i)(I)

, the Commissioner shall consider:

1. Whether or not the discharged employee used a weapon;

2. Whether or not anyone was injured;

3. The extent of any provocation to or threat to the discharged employee; and

4. Whether or not the discharged employee had been involved in fighting on the employer's premises on prior occasions and had been warned about fighting. NOTE: Although a disqualification will be imposed if the act by the claimant was found to be the fault of the claimant but there was no evidence of intentional conduct, for a disqualification to be imposed under the provisions of OCGA Section 34-8-194(2)(A)(i)(I), the Commissioner must determine the act was intentional.

(f)

Where the employee was discharged for the falsification of employer records, the Commissioner shall consider:

1. Whether the omission/misstatement was intentional;

2. Whether the omission/misstatement was material; and

3. Information or documentation with respect to proof of citizenship as required by, or in compliance with, the Federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 including any subsequent amendments to said Act and applicable state laws.

(3) Federal law protects freedom of expression through the First Amendment and it protects an employee's right to protest hours, working conditions and job safety under the National Labor Relations Act and other legislation. A claimant may not be disqualified for action protected under federal law.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-9-.02 Disqualification for Failure to Apply for or Accept Work

(1)

Disqualification under OCGA Section

34-8-194(3)

is required if a claimant was offered employment that is suitable work or was directed to apply for such employment by the department, but the offer was refused, or the claimant failed to apply and the refusal or failure to apply was without good cause, or after acceptance of a job offer made by the employer, claimant failed to report to work for that employer.

(a)

An offer of work or referral to employment shall be considered properly made when:

1. A job opening existed at the time the offer was made or referral was given and claimant had been given sufficient information concerning the conditions of the job (such as, but not limited to, the duties, location of work, hours of work, wages, working conditions and equipment needed, if any) to determine the suitability of the offer or the referral; and

2. The claimant knew and understood that an offer or referral was being made, and had been notified of the job offer or referral in adequate time to respond; and

3. The claimant, upon accepting a referral, was given adequate information as to where and how to apply.

(2) No claimant shall be ruled ineligible for benefits where new work is offered, but the distance or time for commuting is substantially greater than that distance to all other places to which an ordinarily prudent person living in the same locality, town or city would travel for work which utilizes similar or related skills or services, and also to where the claimant earned base period wages.

(3)

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this section, no work shall be deemed suitable and benefits shall not be denied under OCGA Section

34-8-194(3)

to any otherwise eligible individual for refusing to accept new work if:

(a) The position offered is vacant due directly to a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute;

(b) The wages, hours or other conditions of the work are less favorable to the individual than those prevailing for similar work in the locality; or

(c) As a condition of being employed the claimant would be required to join a company union or to resign from or refrain from joining any bona fide labor organization.

(4)

Disqualification shall not be imposed if claimant did not apply for or accept work due to occurrences such as:

(a) An "act of God" or similar event beyond the control of the claimant which prevented the claimant from timely responding to a call-in notice, job referral or job offer, (e.g., an automobile accident involving the claimant's vehicle which prevented the claimant from responding on time);

(b) Death of an individual's immediate family member. The eligibility requirements of availability and reporting shall be waived for the day of the death and for four (4) consecutive calendar days thereafter. As used in this subparagraph,"immediate family member", means a spouse, child, stepchild, adopted child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, brother or sister of the individual or his or her spouse and the spouse of any of the foregoing;

(c) Personal illness or disability of a temporary nature of claimant or a dependent family member which occurred in such a way to prevent the claimant from timely appearing in person, and the claim-ant made diligent efforts to give notice to the department or the employer prior to the time for the scheduled call-in or report to work date;

(d) The offer of work or referral to a job opening was for a job opening with an employer who previously employed the claimant and from which the claimant quit or was discharged from employment under such adverse conditions that the ordinarily prudent person would not be expected to return to work with the former employer. The Commissioner shall consider the totality of circumstances in such a case.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-9-.03 Drug Adjudication Policy

(1) These policies are general guidelines for adjudication of drug usage and drug testing related cases. The policies do not, and are not intended to establish what employers may or may not do in their own businesses. The policies address only the payment or denial of benefits under the Employment Security Law.

(2) "Drug" means any controlled substance as defined in O.C.G.A. Section 16-13-20 et seq.

(3)

Drug testing must be based upon "reasonable grounds." The following are reasonable grounds for testing:

(a)

If the employer has a reasonable suspicion that an individual has used drugs. Reasonable suspicion includes, but is not limited to:

1. Unusual change in behavior;

2. Substantial loss of productivity;

3. Repeated tardiness;

4. Repeated absences;

5. Noticeable signs of drug intoxication;

6. Reliable information or credible report that the employee is using a drug; and

7. Other reasonable indicators that suggest the individual is taking drugs.

(b) An on-the-job accident resulting in a personal injury or more than minor property damage;

(d) Random or blanket testing of employees if all the employees in a job group are equally subject to the random or blanket test;

(e) Testing of applicants if either all applicants or all persons offered a job for a job group are subject to the test (pre-employment drug test);

(f) Any testing required by local, state or federal law or regulations;

(g) Testing pursuant to an employer's "Drug-Free Workplace Program", established in accordance with OCGA Section 34-9-410 et seq. (Georgia Workers' Compensation Drug-Free Workplace Program Premium Credit Discount); or

(h) Any testing policy established by an employer to discourage the use of drugs by its employees which complies with the provisions of this rule.

(4)

An employer requirement that a job candidate take a drug test does not, by itself, render the work unsuitable. An employer may require that job candidates show that they are not users of illegal drugs.

(a) If, after being referred to work by the department, an employee fails to apply for work because the employer requires a preemployment drug test, the claimant has failed to apply without good cause.

(b) If the employee refuses work because he or she is required to take a pre-employment drug test, the employee has refused work without good cause.

(c) Failing a pre-employment drug test, by itself, is grounds for disqualification under OCGA Section 34-8-195 , provided, however, the drug test must comply with the provisions of these rules.

(5)

When employers with a drug-free workforce policy require employees and prospective employees to consent to participate in the employer's program:

(a)

The requirement that an employee consent to drug testing is not unreasonable when the consent is designed to inform the employee of the program and to secure the employee's acknowledgement that the employee will participate in the program. Mere agreement to participate in a drug testing program is not, by itself, inimical to an employment situation, unless the agreement calls for submission to an unreasonable testing program. In disputes over consent, where there is reasonable drug testing as described in these rules, the following applies:

1. If, after being referred to work, the employee fails to apply because he/she is required to consent to participate in a reasonable drug testing program, the employee has failed to apply for work without good cause;

2. If an employee fails to accept work rather than consent to participate in the employer's reasonable drug testing program, the employee has failed to accept work without good cause;

3. If an employee quits rather than consent to participate in the employer's reasonable drug testing program, the employee has left work without good cause;

4. If the employee is discharged for refusing to consent to participate in the employer's reasonable drug testing program, the employee is discharged under disqualifying conditions and is considered to be at fault in the separation.

(6) Where an employer has reasonable grounds for drug testing and an employee quits rather than be tested, the employee has quit without good cause. When an employee is discharged for refusal to submit to such drug testing, the employee shall be deemed discharged for cause.

(7)

For purposes of unemployment insurance it is reasonable for an employer to require employees to submit to blanket or random drug testing.

(a) If the employer has reasonable grounds for blanket or random drug testing and the employee quits rather than be tested, the employee has quit without good cause connected with the work.

(b) If the employer has reasonable grounds for blanket or random drug testing and the employee is discharged for refusing to submit to such a test, the employee is discharged for misconduct.

(8) For drug test results to be a determinative factor under this rule, proper custody, testing and confirmation procedures must be followed; and the individual must have tested positive for a drug. Unless gas chromatography is used as the initial test, a second test of a different type must be conducted to confirm the accuracy of the first test. The laboratory which conducts the test must meet or exceed the minimum standards specified in OCGA Section 34-9-415 . The results must be admitted in conformity with the requirements of OCGA Section 34-8-194 .

(9)

When test results are properly authenticated and the individual tested positive for a drug, the following apply:

(a) If an employee is discharged for failing a drug test it is a disqualifying discharge;

(b) If an employee fails a test and quits because a discharge is imminent, the quit is treated the same as any other quit in lieu of discharge. If discharge is not imminent and the employee quits, the quit is without good cause.

(10)

When an employee fails a reasonable drug test; was previously shown to have been under the influence of drugs on the job; admits to use of drugs on the job; or violates Section (11) of these Rules, an employer may, as a condition of continued employment, require the employee to adhere to certain reasonable conditions.

(a)

Reasonable conditions include, but are not limited to:

1. Agreeing to remain drug free;

2. Attending, at reasonable cost to the employee, rehabilitation or similar programs; and

3. Submitting to random drug testing to demonstrate the employee remains drug free.

(b)

In adjudicating violations of last chance agreements, the following apply:

A discharge is disqualifying if:

(i) The employee refuses to agree to reasonable conditions required by the employer; or

(ii) The employee fails to adhere to reasonable conditions required by the employer.

An employee voluntarily leaves work without good cause if:

(i) The employee leaves work rather than agree to reasonable conditions required by the employer; or

(ii) The employee leaves work rather than adhere to reasonable conditions required by the employer.

(11) If the employee is discharged for illegally possessing a drug, distributing a drug, or selling a drug, the employee is considered to be at fault in the separation.

(12) Drug tests shall not be used to discriminate against employees for reasons prohibited by law.

(2) For purposes of OCGA Section 34-8-194 an employer may require a breathalyzer, blood alcohol or similar test of an employee or prospective employee, as part of the employer's substance abuse program, or if there are reasonable grounds to believe the individual is under the influence of alcohol.

(3) An individual is deemed under the influence of alcohol when the individual's blood alcohol content exceeds the amount prescribed in a collective bargaining agreement, or in the absence of a collective bargaining agreement, exceeds the amount prescribed in the employer's published work rules, or in the absence of either of the foregoing, meets or exceeds the amount prescribed in OCGA Section 40-6-391 as constituting being under the influence of alcohol. In the absence of a test, an individual may be found to be under the influence of alcohol when there is clear observable evidence of intoxication.

(4) An individual who is discharged as a result of being under the influence of alcohol while on the job, is discharged under disqualifying conditions.

(5) An individual who is discharged for failing to appear for work as a result of the use of alcohol is discharged under disqualifying conditions, unless the individual establishes that the absence was resulting from the individual seeking treatment for alcoholism from a recognized treatment program, and the individual followed the employer's procedure for notifying the employer of his/her absence from work.

(6) Alcohol testing shall not be used to discriminate against employees for reasons prohibited by law.

(7) An employee who violates a known work rule of the employer which forbids the consumption of alcohol during the working day can be disqualified from receiving unemployment compensation even without proof that the employee is under the influence of alcohol.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-9-.05 Separation by Quitting. Amended

(1)

An employee who voluntarily quits is to be disqualified unless he/she can show that the employer had changed the terms and conditions of work in a manner that the employee, applying the judgment of a reasonable person, would not be expected to continue that employment. Factors which the Commissioner shall consider in making this determination may include, among others, the following:

(a) Whether the employee was downgraded for reasons other than the fault of the claimant;

(b) Whether the employee had undergone harassment on the job of a substantial nature which would induce a reasonable person to quit in order to seek other employment;

(d) An economic downgrade based on the employer's inability to continue the former salary will not be considered as a good cause to quit if the reduction in salary is not a substantial reduction below a reasonable rate for that industry or trade. However, a seasonal or temporary reduction in pay or work hours does not constitute good cause for quitting;

(e) Whether the employee's health was placed in jeopardy by conditions on the job. There must be some clear connection between the health problem and the performance of the job, and professional medical advice is required unless the reason would be obvious that harm to the employee would result from continued employment. This includes such obvious things as broken limbs, violent reactions such as allergies due to the environment on the job and similar circumstances. Provided, however, the employee must discuss the matter with the employer to seek a solution by another assignment or other changes that would be appropriate to relieve the medical problem before the employee can show good work-connected cause for quitting; or

(f) Whether the employee left work voluntarily for statutorily defined good cause, as provided in O.C.G.A. 34-8-194 .

(2) Disqualification is not required if an employee quits because the rules of the employer prove to be unreasonable as related to proper job performance.

(3) In situations in which it is not clear whether a quit or a discharge occurred to cause the separation, the burden of persuasion shall be on the employer to show that a quit rather than a discharge occurred. If the employer meets this burden of persuasion, then the burden of proof is then placed on the claimant to show that the quit was for good cause connected with the work. If the employer fails to meet this burden of persuasion, the separation shall be treated as a discharge and the burden of proof of just discharge shall be on the employer.

(4)

When an individual accepts a separation from employment due to lack of work, pursuant to a labor management contract or agreement, or pursuant to an established employer plan, program, policy, layoff, or recall, the Commissioner will determine eligibility based on the individual circumstances of the case. In such cases, to show that the individual quit for good cause connected with the most recent work the facts must demonstrate at minimum:

(a) That the individual was advised of an actual impending layoff with a date certain, and

(b) That the effective date of the layoff was no more than six (6) months after the announcement date.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 300-2-9-.08 Eligibility of Temporary/Intermittent Workers

(1)

An individual who is working on a part-time, intermittent, or temporary assignment basis shall not be denied benefits solely as a consequence of such employment. When such individuals are between assignments, it shall be considered that a rebuttable presumption of voluntary unemployment exists. In determining eligibility for such persons, the Commissioner may consider, but is not limited to, the following facts:

(a) Whether the claimant's employment was of a temporary/intermittent nature;

(b) Whether the claimant and employer are maintaining an ongoing employment relationship;

(c) Whether the claimant considers temporary/intermittent work as an occupation, or as "stop-gap work" to earn income while seeking employment; and

(d) Whether the claimant is seeking and is available for full time work.

(2) In accordance with paragraph (c) of OCGA Section 34-8-195 , an individual who is contracted to a temporary help contracting firm may not be considered unemployed with respect to any work week, during which a comparable work assignment is offered by the employer and is refused by the claimant without good cause.

(3) Such temporary help contracting firm must promptly notify the department in writing, providing proof of the work assignment offer, such as a copy of a telephone call log sheet. The burden of proof shall be on the employer to show the temporary assignment is comparable to previous work or assignments performed by the individual or otherwise meets the conditions of employment as previously agreed. If the job or assignment offer was comparable, then the claimant must establish he or she had good cause to refuse the job or assignment. To be eligible for benefits the claimant must have complied with all of the employer's reasonable rules with respect to work assignments, such as providing the employer a current address and telephone number by which to contact the claimant concerning possible work assignments, and otherwise meet all reasonable communication requirements of the employer to stay in touch with the employer. The employer must likewise comply with all of its own communication rules.

(4) To be considered a timely response, an employer's response to a claim for benefits filed by an employee of a temporary help contracting firm must be postmarked or received by the date the individual was scheduled for a predetermination interview. This date shall typically be seven (7) days or more after the claim for benefits was filed. The employer's written response as to the work assignment offer must be sent to the department on or before the claimant's scheduled predetermination interview date. Any subsequent refusal which occurs within the claimant's benefit year requires the employer to notify the department within four (4) days of such refusal. Notification shall be in writing, addressed to the local office of the department where the claim was filed.

(5) Claimants whose most recent work, or work last performed, was for a temporary help contracting firm must report his or her refusal of all job offers or job assignments to the department promptly. The department will then make a determination of whether the job assignment was comparable to work previously performed or agreed to be performed and whether such refusal was for good cause.

For the purposes of O.C.G.A.

34-8-194

, "family violence" shall have the same meaning as in O.C.G.A.

19-13-1

, i.e., "family violence" is the occurrence of one or more of the following acts between past or present spouses, persons who are parents of the same child, parents and children, stepparents and stepchildren, foster parents and foster children, or other persons living or formerly living in the same household:

1. Any felony; or

2. Commission of offenses of battery, simple battery, simple assault, assault, stalking, criminal damage to property, unlawful restraint, or criminal trespass.

(2)

A claimant may establish good cause for quitting the claimant's most recent employer due to family violence by providing evidence that family violence directly impacted claimant's employment and that leaving the employer was either a condition of receiving services from a family violence shelter or a condition of receiving shelter as a resident of a family violence shelter. The following documents shall constitute reasonable documentation for verification under O.C.G.A.

34-8-194

and this subsection:

(a) A statement provided by a family violence shelter signed by an authorized representative of that family violence shelter stating that leaving the employer was a condition of the claimant receiving current services from the family violence shelter; or

(b) A statement provided by a family violence shelter signed by an authorized representative of that family violence shelter stating that leaving the employer was a condition of the claimant receiving current shelter as a resident of the family violence shelter.

(3)

A claimant may also establish good cause for quitting the claimant's most recent employer due to family violence by providing evidence that, when considering the totality of circumstances, family violence directly impacted claimant's employment in such a manner that the claimant quit because claimant reasonably believed that continuing that employment would jeopardize the safety of the claimant or the safety of a member of the claimant's immediate family. The following evidence may constitute reasonable documentation for verification under O.C.G.A.

34-8-194

and this subsection:

(a) A certified copy of a restraining order or a certified copy of other Court documentation of equitable relief pertaining to the family violence, related to the claimant's reason for quitting, by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(b) A certified copy of a police report documenting recent abuse pertaining to the family violence related to the claimant's reason for quitting;

(c) Documentation that the abuser has been convicted of one or more of the offenses enumerated in O.C.G.A. § 19-13-1 pertaining to the family violence related to the claimant's reason for quitting; or

(d) Medical documentation of injuries from abuse pertaining to the family violence related to the claimant's reason for quitting.

(4) Where the claimant provides information indicating that the claimant quit due to family violence, the department shall contact the employer for the purpose of determining whether the claimant quit or was discharged for cause.

(5) All confidentiality requirements of state and federal law regarding information collected in the administration of the unemployment insurance, including but not limited to O.C.G.A. 34-8-120 et seq. and 20 CFR 603, shall apply to information collected or received in adjudicating a claim under this rule.
