LABOR DEPARTMENT'S KINGS BAY OFFICE TO OPEN LONGER HOURS

ATLANTA -- State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that the Georgia Department of Labor's Kings Bay office will expand its hours to better serve employers and job seekers in the area.

Beginning April 17, the office will be open Mondays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to offer a full range of services. The office will continue to follow the long-standing hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m the remaining weekdays. It is not open on weekends.

"We're able to expand our schedule without additional staff, overtime, or employee workload by using flex-time schedules," said Gary Varner, acting manager of the office. "The extended hours will allow our customers, especially those whose work schedules correspond with our traditional operating schedule, more opportunities to use the department's services. We want to be available when our customers need us."

The office is located at 1712 Osborne Road, Suite L, in St. Marys. The telephone number is (912) 673-6942. It serves Camden County.

Job openings listed with the Georgia Department of Labor, along with employer workplace posters, employer forms and other pertinent information, are available on the department's Web site at www.dol.state.ga.us.
