Our Mission

Delaware LaborFirst platform is intentionally designed to become one hub for centralized data and information for the Department of Labor (DOL), constituents including employers, third party administrators, and claimants. LaborFirst will help us in transforming the customer experience as we optimize and streamline DOL’s processes and services. LaborFirst will provide a technology platform that can quickly adapt to changing economic scenarios and ever-evolving federal and state requirements.

Delaware LaborFirst is the user-friendly system to manage Delaware Paid Leave starting September 2024, and in 2025, Unemployment Insurance. LaborFirst provides a technology platform that can quickly adapt to changing economic scenarios and ever-evolving federal and state requirements.
