AI Summary
- Employing units that misclassify workers' services under Georgia's Employment Security Law face a $100.00 civil penalty for a first violation (and subsequent violations within 210 days), increasing to $1,000.00 for second or subsequent violations occurring 210 days or more after the first violation
- Any violation occurring more than 1,825 days (approximately 5 years) after the last violation resets the count and is treated as a first violation
- Each misclassification constitutes a separate violation regardless of whether it involves the same or a different individual
- Employing units with a second or subsequent violation (210+ days after the first) must undergo a Department of Labor audit of the classification of every individual performing services for wages for that employer
- Civil penalties are paid to the Department of Labor and are in addition to any other existing civil or criminal penalties; most provisions take effect July 1, 2014, while the penalty payment provision is contingent on a specific appropriation of funds by the General Assembly
