What's Changed
Georgia's Unemployment Vacation Update
Georgia's new 2024 unemployment rules include a specific regulation regarding vacation and unemployment insurance benefits. Under this rule, individuals on vacation are not eligible for unemployment benefits. This includes both paid and unpaid vacations if they are at the employee's own request. However, if an employee is on a vacation shutdown that is unpaid, they may still receive unemployment benefits unless the employer has a pre-established vacation plan that complies with the state law.
The Georgia Department of Labor requires all employers to display a mandatory poster informing employees that unemployment insurance is not payable when they are on leave or vacation. This is a requirement to ensure that all employees are aware of the state's unemployment rules
Georgia Equal Pay for Equal Work Act
The Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) emphasizes the importance of providing equal pay for employees performing substantially similar work, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. Employers in Georgia are required to ensure that compensation differences are based on legitimate factors like seniority, merit, or job performance and not on discriminatory practices.
For more detailed information, you may want to review the specific rule on the Georgia Department of Labor website or consult with an employment lawyer familiar with Georgia labor laws.
