Georgia Employer Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Georgia Employer Kit 2027, 2027 Payroll Rate Change, 2027 Payroll Tax Setup)

Who it is for

Owners and bookkeepers running payroll for employees in Georgia, from 2027 rate changes to unemployment tax setup.

Not the right fit if

Your employees don't work in Georgia, or a payroll provider already handles these filings for you. Not a payroll service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Georgia kits are built only from our Georgia data files: Georgia data files, checked November 2026 against 21 official pages, among them Georgia Department of Labor; Georgia Department of Labor: Employers FAQs, Unemployment Insurance; Georgia Department of Revenue: Form G-4 Employee Withholding; Official page; Georgia Department of Labor: GDOL Required Workplace Posters; Business License / Occupation Tax Certificate Private Employer Affidavit, City of Marietta; Security Immigration and Compliance Affidavit (E-Verify), Georgia Division of Family and Children Services; Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act Audit Report, Fulton County Office of the County Auditor (May 16, 2025), plus Justia (statute text) and Paycor and Insperity (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read.
• 2027 Payroll Rate Change Checklist and 2027 Payroll Tax Setup Checklist cover every state; the Georgia kits carry the state rules.

What is inside

• Georgia Employer Compliance Kit 2027. The 2027 employer rules for Georgia in one package: $9,500 SUTA wage base; 2.7% new employer rate; new hires reported in 10 days; $7.25 minimum wage. Eight steps from unemployment tax registration to year-end filing, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date, from Georgia Department of Labor, Georgia New Hire Reporting (Department of Human Services), State Board of Workers' Compensation. What it confirms: open a state unemployment tax account: File form DOL-1A (Application for GDOL Tax Account) right after the first Georgia payroll; forms are on GDOL's documents page, and the employer portal is at (link in the kit) (GDOL FAQ); taxable wage base for 2027: $9,500 per employee in 2027 ($9,500 in 2026); new employer tax rate: 2.7% for a new employer; quarterly wage reports and payments: GDOL: the report and total tax payment are due within a month after the quarter ends (April 30, July 31, October 31, January 31); a weekend or legal holiday moves it to the next business day; state income tax withholding: State income tax applies; report each new hire to the state: Within 10 days after employees are hired, re-hired or return to work; e-Verify for private employers: A private employer with more than 10 employees must be registered with and use E-Verify, and swears to it on an affidavit when applying for or renewing a local business license; minimum wage now (2026): $7.25 an hour; minimum wage change in 2027: $7.25 an hour; no scheduled change in our data; tipped employees: Cash wage of at least $2.13 an hour in 2027, with tips making up the rest; paid sick leave: No statewide paid sick leave law for private employers; meal breaks for adults: no state rule; No Georgia meal period requirement; rest breaks for adults: no state rule; No Georgia rest break requirement; breaks for workers under 18: No separate meal-break rule for workers under 18: the US Department of Labor's state meal period table (revised January 1, 2023; checked November 2026) doesn't list Georgia among the 35 jurisdictions with meal periods specifically for minors, so minors follow the adult rule; workers' compensation insurance: Every employer that regularly employs three or more people, part-time or full-time; final pay when you let someone go: Georgia has no state final-pay deadline: Paycor's and Insperity's 50-state charts (secondary sources) both list "No law" for firings and resignations, and the Georgia Department of Labor's FAQ points to federal rules and Magistrate Court rather than a state deadline;
