Employment Law in Georgia - Contracts, Disputes & Labour Compliance

Main / Services / Employment Law

MAC Advisory advises employers and employees on all aspects of Georgian employment law. Georgia's Labour Code (Organic Law of Georgia on Labour) governs employment relationships, and while the framework is more employer-flexible than many European jurisdictions, proper contract structuring and compliance remain essential to avoid disputes and regulatory exposure.

Key Features of Georgian Employment Law
Georgia's Labour Code provides relatively flexible conditions for employers compared to EU jurisdictions — trial periods of up to six months, flexible termination procedures with notice requirements, and limited mandatory benefits beyond those specified in individual contracts. However, the 2020 Labour Code amendments introduced new protections including anti-discrimination provisions, maternity and paternity leave rights, and union rights. Compliance with these amendments is now a legal requirement for all Georgian employers.
