Department of Labor Reviews

  • Jun 30, 2017

I was wrongfully terminated because I was falsely accused of walking out of a meeting, which no meeting took place. And i was replaced by two black rns, I filed for my unemployment and i was awarded my unemployment benefits, this nursing hospital did not respond to the unemployment request about my wrongful termination. But later after I was receiving my unemployment benefits, they answered and the hearing judge ruled in their favor.

I don't see how possibly the georgia department of labor can do this after awarding me unemployment benefits, could rule in the employer favor when they didn't respond when the georgia department of labor ask them to do so. I was made to repay my unemployment benefits. I did file a discrimination complaint with the EEOC but it was a waste of time. I don't see how they could say I wasn't discriminated against when I was replaced by two black LPNS.

The atlanta EEOC replied back saying I wasn't discriminated against. We all know had I been a black nurse fired by a white RN and replaced with two "WHITE" LPNS the EEOC would scream bloody murder. They don't help out white people who have been discriminated against so this injustice goes unresolved for ever, and the black fired nurse would had received millions.

I'm entitled to tell how I feel after i been mistreated and abused. And my offender did not get punished.

I had a hearing with Christina Ware a hearing officer for the department of Labor and during my hearing she was adding words that the employer never did say there was also facts doing the hearing on record which she ignore I was shock to hear someone that work for the government against citizen right I think this lady did to be remove and put in jail she is dangerous to society and don't have no right to judge in knowone case every in the Untied State of America thereafter The board of Review went right along with her decision , so I petition the court hoping someone have some sense.

I went in front of the judge before I knew it the attorney for the Georgia Department of Labor writes the judge a letter stating she want be attending not the commissioner so she writes the letter out to me and the judge's and it's stated that you know you can't rule against administration I was shock to hear how far this unfairness been going on who behind this mess so I went in front of the judge he didn't rule that day but I thought he was on my side after hearing the ex employer tell a lie in court under oat 2 weeks later I still haven't received his ruling so I call the judge office the Secretary tells me they are waiting on the attorney from the Georgia Department of Labor to respond

I'm like his the judge to my self so I received his ruling it was Denied in bold letter I'm sure he let her rule in his court room against me so later I email the judge and ask him that I thought he was on myside his respond was with the compassion in his heart he would have rule for me but he wasn't allow to do that im thinking you the judge you can do want you like but I wrote the Judical commission and State Bar and I gotten a respond from state bar about the attorney but didn't physical talk to him he did leave a voice message stating the attorney didn't break no rules by my eyesit telling the judge he can't rule over administration is very appropriate.

My husband received unemployment benefits in 2014 for three months after losing his main job ( he found a job after three months). I own my own business and also employ my husband paying him a very small amount ($300 a month). When my husband signed up for the unemployment, he completely forgot about this small income form my company, which per unemployment book would lower his benefits by $25 per week ( $75-$50=$25). I do not blame him for forgetting since I was the one who always deposited his salary into our joint account. He never really saw the money .And by the way, he used to make $12,000 a month in his main job.

Long story short. The Unemployment Overpayment Unit came after him this year accusing him of fraud and demanded the entire unemployment benefit back plus penalty $3,415! We obviously requested an appeal. He received a telephone hearing, the date they gave him was the day when he was traveling on business and was supposed to be on a plane at that time.

He requested a different date but was denied without an explanation why, so much for supporting people who have jobs and are trying to keep them. SO he had to change his flight, paid extra $400 in extra fees, upset his current boss just to be able to talk to a hearing officer. And the hearing was a COMPLETE WASTE of time.

The hearing is a formality, Georgia Department of Labor must offer it by law but make no mistake, the decision is already made regardless of what you say to them. The hearing officer made a conclusion in her after hearing report that because it was my husband’s responsibility to remember to report all the earnings therefore by failing to do so he committed a fraud and must pay back. Since when forgetting something is the definition of fraud????!!! And doesn't the law say it must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that someone broke the law before calling him guilty. And again, we are talking about forgetting to report a whopping amount of weekly income of $25!!!

They want your money and they keep telling you that you knowingly committed unemployment fraud. So basically my husband would jeopardize loosing $2,745 just to gain extra $225 over the three months period! One would have to be completely insane to do that!!! He forgot, it was a human error, it was a very small amount that he wasn't even depositing. Georgia Department of Labor does not believe in human error, never mind that their employee sent a spread sheet with a sensitive personal information to over 1000 individuals by mistake which now turned into a Class action lawsuit or wasted $58.7 million in overpayments October 1, 2008, and March 31, 2011. Georgia Department of Labor has the right to make mistakes, we are not and we are very quickly called criminals over forgetting to report $25 to unemployment unit.

There is absolutely no common sense used in determining which case is a fraud and which is not. People are not perfect, they make mistakes. We do not mind to paying back $225 that he forgot to report but taking everything back with penalty and calling him a criminal is outrageous and predatory! My husband reported everything to the best of his knowledge. We will also be calling the Governor to find out about our further options to appeal. There must be a more fair, impartial way to handle our case. Getting a hearing by Georgia Department of Labor employee is a JOKE! They Could NOT Care less about your explanation, they want your money. It is appalling the way they handle the appeals and treat everybody like a criminal!!!
