Employment law and HR compliance in Georgia
Employment contracts, working time, disciplinary steps and termination records designed for lawful, verifiable workplace decisions.
This is an overview of common legal questions and risks. The precise engagement, representation and fee depend on the facts, conflict checks and documents. No legal outcome is guaranteed.
1. Contract framework
Specify position, duties, remuneration, work location and applicable schedule. A fixed term should be supported by the legal basis required for that arrangement; do not rely solely on the label in a template.
2. Working time and overtime
Keep accurate working-time records and clear approval rules. Attendance logs, instructions and deliverables may each show different facts. Statutory entitlements cannot be eliminated through internal policies.
3. Discipline and termination
Investigate alleged breaches, give the employee appropriate procedural opportunities and maintain a decision record. The validity of termination depends on its basis, justification, timing and compliance with applicable notice requirements.
4. Employer and employee checklist
Collect the signed agreement, rules, amendments, schedules, payroll, warnings, correspondence and notices. Review personal-data access and confidentiality when handling employee documents.
Documents to prepare
- Employment contract and amendments
- Rules and acknowledgement records
- Work schedules and overtime records
- Payroll, holiday and leave information
- Warnings, notices and performance evidence
Common questions
Is a company policy enough to dismiss an employee?
Not automatically. Examine the statutory termination ground, the facts, procedural steps and whether internal rules were communicated.
Does a fixed term automatically end all obligations?
No. The legal basis, continued work and statutory protections must be assessed.
