unemployment

4768905

Our construction division with our company is reducing hours. Some of the hourly employees would like to draw Ga Unemployment on the difference of the hours that are less than 40 hrs week. Do I need to provide them with a seperation notice even though they are not being terminated?

Thank You

I don't know if GA law states differently, but generally, no. At the very least, though, I'd have something in their files which states hours were reduced to x per week on x date.

Employees can file on their own for unemployment due to a reduction in hours. The unemployment office should contact you for confirmation.

You also might want to look at whether reduced hours has an adverse impact on benefits, vacation time accruals, etc.
