Unemployment Insurance (UI) fraud is a crime that affects everyone. The Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) needs your help preventing UI fraud and abuse. Your participation strengthens GDOL efforts to ensure Georgia employers’ tax dollars are spent wisely and UI benefits only go to eligible individuals. 

GDOL offers several options to report suspected cases of unemployment benefit fraud, identity theft, job refusals and failed pre-employment drug screening tests. The preferred method to submit your report of suspected UI fraud and abuse is through our Online Reporting system. All tips received are investigated regardless of how much information is provided. However, the more details you can provide, the more you will aid in the investigation.

Employee Performance Reports

EP Report

An EP (Exceptional Performance) Report is used to keep track of “Exceptional” Accomplishments. To be Exceptional, an employee consistently reaches Above & Beyond the job description, outperforming outlined daily roles and responsibilities – taking on extra work, performing in a leadership role, coaching peers, innovating process improvements and taking initiative etc Keeping Track of exceptional accomplishments allows employees contributions, hard work, perfect attendance to be recognized and rewarded accordingly. If you have a good idea or any idea let your supervisor or Farai know. Take the initiative, fix what needs to be fixed around the warehouse, stretch wrap pallets, come to work on time etc

CAPA Report

Its now evident that i need to institute a corrective action policy, verbal warnings alone are no longer enough. The same issues keep being repeated. 

A CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) Report is a tool used in identifying, addressing, and preventing regulatory and organizational non-conformance. Or simply Corrective Action consists of improvements to an organization’s processes taken to eliminate causes of non-conformities or other undesirable situations. Written warnings are a sign that early disciplinary processes has failed, and that an employee is headed down a route for termination. By that point, management has put in a lot of time and effort to help an employee change–with little or no improvement. Written warnings require an employees signature. Verbal warnings do not require an employees signature, they both must be documented. e.g an Employee is assigned a task, but responds with snarky or weird comment, document it, facts only. Supervisors will be required to document verbal warnings or writeups. When an employee quits or is terminated CAPA reports are made available to GDOL upon their request.

Types of violations for verbal or writeups: Attendance, Attitude, Conduct, Daily Work-log Not Completed, Damage To Company Material/Equipment, Dress Code Violation, Drug Or Alcohol Abuse, Failure To Follow Instructions, Hygiene, Insubordination, Job Knowledge, Obedience, Quality Of Work (Accuracy, Efficiency), Quantity Of Work (Output, Production Goals), Tardiness, Talks Too Much, Disruptive, Gallivanting, Unauthorized Absence, Unfit For Duty, Unsatisfactory Behavior Towards Employees Or Customers, Vile, Foul or Abusive Language, Violation Of Company Policies And Procedures, Violation Of Safety Policies, Violence/Fighting, Work Operations Disruption, Working On Personal Matters
