Jump start your career with exciting, impactful work and real-world experience by joining the State Board of Workers’ Compensation! We are a state agency that serves a quarter million employers and over 3.8 million workers.

In part, the ADR Division provides mediation services for claims throughout the state – holding over 2,000 mediations per year.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities, included, but not limited to:

Mediators conduct mediation conferences primarily via the Zoom video conference platform and, upon request, in-person throughout the State of Georgia to facilitate the resolution of workers’ compensation disputes and the settlement of workers’ compensation claims. Work as a mediator is key to moving an injured worker’s claim towards a final resolution. Therefore, mediators must adhere to ethical and legal guidelines, ensure confidentiality of the process as well as maintain proficiency in Georgia workers’ compensation law and current issues.

Our preferred candidate is a balanced employee who works hard to serve the public, but also takes time to recharge and recommit. The State of Georgia’s paid time off program aims to maximize productivity both inside and outside the workplace by providing several leave programs including holiday (currently 13 paid holidays per year), annual & sick leave (accrual begins the first day of employment), and administrative leave (i.e., professional development, blood donation, jury duty, military duty, etc.). Currently, but subject to the discretion of the Board, mediators are allowed to work from home two (2) days per week.
