Onboarding Time

We can help you onboard new employees in Georgia quickly and efficiently. The process typically takes 2 to 5 weeks. For non-nationals, the onboarding process requires an additional week. Extra time may also be needed if further follow-up on the right-to-work assessment is necessary.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, we add an extra week to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Termination process

It is important to note that employee contracts can be terminated if a just cause for termination has been established. This includes situations such as economic circumstances or organizational changes necessitating workforce reduction, expiration of the contract, employee resignation, mutual agreement, lack of qualifications, gross misconduct, prolonged incapacity (over 40 days), legal restrictions, and other objective reasons justifying termination.

Notice period

The termination of an employment contract requires the employer to notify the employee in writing at least 30 days in advance for specific grounds and providing at least one month's severance pay. If terminated for other reasons, a shorter notice of three days applies, with two months' severance.
