JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806 and former Chapter 8 of Title 34, which were repealed by Ga. L. 1991, p. 139, § 1, effective January 1, 1992, are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Constitutionality of chapter.

- Former chapter was not as a whole violative of U.S. Const., amends. 9, 14. Gernatt v. Huiet, 192 Ga. 729, 16 S.E.2d 587 (1941) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806).

Purpose of chapter.

- Chapter was enacted to protect the worker in some measure from the loss, through no fault of the worker's own, of employment; that is to say, to ensure the worker against loss of a place to work. Utica Mut. Ins. Co. v. Pioda, 90 Ga. App. 593, 83 S.E.2d 627 (1954) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806).

The Employment Security Law, O.C.G.A. Ch. 8, T. 34, contemplates an employer providing for the payment of limited benefits based on the employee's former wages, subject to specific conditions, for a limited duration; it does not contemplate that the payment of such benefits will result in an individual receiving more than the individual earned when the individual was gainfully employed. Powell v. Dougherty Christian Academy, Inc., 215 Ga. App. 551, 451 S.E.2d 465 (1994).

Construction of chapter.

- Chapter was to be liberally construed in favor of the state. Williams v. Tracy Bldrs., Inc., 94 Ga. App. 203, 94 S.E.2d 139 (1956) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806; see O.C.G.A. Ch. 8, T. 34).

Ineligibility for unemployment compensation.

- An employee who was not discharged and did not resign, but who did leave work voluntarily, is disqualified and ineligible to receive unemployment compensation under the provisions of this chapter. Huiet v. Atlanta Gas Light Co., 70 Ga. App. 233, 28 S.E.2d 83 (1943) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806; see O.C.G.A. Ch. 8, T. 34).

When an employee is a married person living with their spouse and the employee voluntarily quits their employment without good cause connected with the employee's most recent work, solely for the purpose of joining and living with the employee's spouse, a preacher, at a distant point to which the spouse has been transferred that is too far for the employee to commute to work, the employee thereby disqualifies themselves from receiving compensation under this chapter. Huiet v. Callaway Mills, 70 Ga. App. 538, 29 S.E.2d 106 (1944) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806; see O.C.G.A. Ch. 8, T. 34).

Coverage of chapter.

- When certain fashion show directors had no territorial assignments or geographical restrictions, no prescribed number or time of hours to work, no minimum number of orders to be maintained and no prohibition against selling other companies' products or holding other employment contemporaneously with that of the plaintiff corporation, the fashion directors were not covered under this chapter. Sarah Coventry, Inc. v. Caldwell, 243 Ga. 429, 254 S.E.2d 375 (1979) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806; see O.C.G.A. Ch. 8, T. 34).

Findings by Bureau of Unemployment Compensation.

- Findings of fact by the appeals referee of the Bureau of Unemployment Compensation which are supported by evidence are conclusive and binding. Huiet v. Dayan, 69 Ga. App. 81, 24 S.E.2d 728 (1943) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806).

Effect of unreviewed agency decisions on subsequent age discrimination action.

- Unreviewed decisions of the Georgia Employment Security Agency are not granted preclusive effect in subsequent federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act lawsuits because granting such deference could cause potential plaintiffs to forego their chance at unemployment compensation for fear of jeopardizing their ADEA claims or else force employees and employers to litigate unemployment compensation claims as discrimination suits. Delgado v. Lockheed-Georgia Co., 815 F.2d 641 (11th Cir. 1987) (decided under former Chapter 8 of Title 34).

Consideration of workers' compensation.

- Fact that the claimant has applied for and is receiving unemployment compensation under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806 (see now O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 et seq.) alters nothing in finding that claimant's incapacity resulted from injuries which arose out of and in the course of claimant's employment. The claimant's application for and receipt of unemployment benefits does not estop claimant's claiming compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act or constitute an election between inconsistent remedies. The two chapters are not repugnant. While each seeks the beneficent purpose of insuring the worker from economic insecurity, the two acts seek to remedy economic insecurity stemming from two entirely different sources. Utica Mut. Ins. Co. v. Pioda, 90 Ga. App. 593, 83 S.E.2d 627 (1954) (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806; see O.C.G.A. Ch. 7, T. 34).

App. 471, 51 S.E.2d 468 (1949); Benton Rapid Express v. Redwine, 87 Ga. App. 584, 74 S.E.2d 504 (1953); Huiet v. Rhodes, 101 Ga. App. 253, 113 S.E.2d 487 (1960).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806 and former Chapter 8 of Title 34, which was repealed by Ga. L. 1991, p. 139, § 1, effective January 1, 1992, are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Sess., p. 185, § 1 (see now O.C.G.A. § 48-2-18) creating the Board of Compromises and Settlements (now Board of Equalization); the board has jurisdiction and authority to settle or compromise such a tax liability according to the authority contained in the Act creating the Board of Compromises and Settlements. 1965-66 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 66-91 (decided under Ga. L. 1937, p. 806).

Administration by Employment Security Agency.
