Roles and Responsibilities

The mission of the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) is to provide customized workforce solutions through technology, dedicated staff, and collaboration. There are three broad federal program areas administered by the GDOL - Employment Services, Labor Market Information, and Unemployment Insurance.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

Employment services help businesses find qualified workers and individuals find jobs. The services also provide businesses, economic development organizations, job seekers and workforce policymakers with up-to-date, customized workforce data. GDOL also provides workforce statistics and employment data by industry and occupation, worker availability, wages and projected employment trends at the state, regional and local levels.

GDOL also is responsible for the child labor laws, which assists working youth to obtain necessary work permits; informs businesses, schools and parent groups of the relevant child labor laws; and inspects workplaces employing youth to ensure their safety on the job.

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

In administering the Unemployment Insurance program, GDOL staff assists employers with state unemployment tax rates and charges, processing tax payments and employment reports, and provides unemployment insurance benefits to qualified individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

SERVICE DELIVERY

Employment, reemployment, and unemployment insurance services are provided through the department's statewide network of career centers and a comprehensive online presence. The career centers work closely with partners to ensure businesses and individual customers receive services that fully address their workforce needs. Specific groups, including veterans and returning service members, agribusinesses and migrant workers and others receive customized services.

AUTHORITY

Titles 34, 39 and 45 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. Public Laws, 105-220, 23 USC Chapter 23 and the Social Security Act, as amended.
