Options for Hiring in Georgia
Partnering with an EOR
When you work with Justworks, you can avoid the expensive process of establishing a legal entity. We oversee most local HR operations on your behalf to help you comply with local labor laws and regulations. That includes support for managing payroll, including taxes, withholdings, and deductions, in addition to administering local benefits.
Hiring Practices
In Georgia, employment contracts are either fixed-term or indefinite-term.
Fixed Term Employment
Fixed-term contracts are generally permitted only when objectively justified, such as a temporary increase in workload, replacement of an absent employee, or seasonal or project-based work.
Indefinite Term Employment
If a fixed-term contract exceeds 30 months or is renewed multiple times without objective justification, it may be deemed indefinite.
Probation Periods
Probationary periods are permitted under Georgian law but must be agreed in writing. The probation period may not exceed six months. During probation, the employee or employer can terminate the contract with three days’ written notice, unless otherwise agreed.
Employment Contracts
Georgian employment contracts may be oral or written. However, written agreements ensure there’s a record to reference and enforce if necessary.
Written contracts should define:
Job duties and responsibilities
Compensation and payment terms
Working hours (not exceeding 40 hours per week standard)
Leave entitlements
Termination conditions
