Employers – Workforce Alabama

Recruiting Assistance

With Workforce Alabama’s recruiting assistance, employers can take advantage of resources that help improve their workforce. Get personal assistance with recruiting, hiring or training.

Employee Training Programs

Grow your workforce with skilled workers and help facilitate a growing Alabama economy. Through Workforce Alabama’s On-the-Job training program, in some cases employers can receive up to 75% reimbursement of a trainee’s hourly wages.

Apprenticeships

The Alabama Office of Apprenticeships (AOA) helps employers train, hire and retain a skilled workforce through a registered apprenticeship program while receiving incentives. Help create workers with the exact skills needed and confidently grow them into career employees.

Child Labor Services

Part-time or summer jobs can provide teenagers with opportunities to learn life skills, acquiring hands-on experience and earning spending money. At the same time, we want to protect working minors to ensure they have sufficient time to take advantage of their educational opportunities and maintain their health and moral well-being.

We’re providing resources to help you understand what hours and jobs teens can work and help prevent workplace injuries—because our future is worth protecting.

Unemployment Partials

Employers can file partial unemployment claims on behalf of employees during short-term shutdowns to help them receive benefits faster and with less paperwork. Eligible businesses with five or more employees must file electronically, and claims must be submitted promptly after each pay period.

Workplace Safety

As an employer, ensuring safety in the workplace for your employees and you is crucial. Drug-Free Workplace and other programs help create and maintain safe spaces for all. When we prioritize good safety practices, we protect Alabama’s workforce and future.

New Hire Reporting

All employers must report each newly hired or recalled employee to Workforce Alabama. Though required by law, both Alabama employers and taxpayers benefit from new hire reporting.

Job Refusal Reporting

Report individuals who refuse to return to work or refuse an offer of suitable work. Reporting through this system will begin the process, but you may be contacted for additional information, like job offer specifics.

Field Tax Service Providers

Field tax service providers are tax offices containing one or more tax specialists. Offices are assigned by region and will be able to handle most employer questions.
