I. Why Legal Regulation of Employment Relations Matters

Labour law is one of the most sensitive areas of law, directly affecting the rights and obligations of both employers and employees.

A poorly drafted employment contract, unclear internal policy, procedures that do not comply with the Labour Code or mistakes made during employee dismissal may lead to labour disputes, financial liability, reputational damage and internal management problems for the company.

Professional labour law services help employers properly organize employment relations and help employees effectively protect their rights. TB Legal provides practical, business-oriented and result-driven labour law services in Georgia.

II. Why Labour Law Services Are Important

Violations of labour legislation often lead to serious legal and financial consequences. For this reason, involvement of a lawyer is important both preventively and immediately after a problem arises.

Legal support in employment relations is particularly important when a company prepares or updates employment contracts, develops internal policies, plans employee dismissal, faces a disciplinary matter, receives a claim from an employee or is already involved in a court dispute.

For employees, legal assistance is important when they sign an employment contract, experience unfair treatment, are unlawfully dismissed, do not receive due remuneration or wish to protect their labour rights.

III. Drafting and Review of Employment Contracts

An employment contract is the main legal basis of an employment relationship. For this reason, its wording should be clear, compliant with the Labour Code and adapted to the actual relationship between the parties.

TB Legal prepares and reviews employment contracts, including provisions on job descriptions, remuneration, working time, confidentiality obligations, non-compete clauses, disciplinary matters, termination procedures and other important terms.

Our goal is to ensure that the employment contract is not merely a formal document, but an instrument that genuinely protects the interests of the parties and reduces the risk of labour disputes.

For broader contract-related matters, TB Legal also provides dedicated contract law services, including contract drafting, contract review and contractual risk management.

IV. Internal Employment Policies and HR Documentation

Individual employment contracts alone are often not sufficient to prevent employment-related risks. A company needs internal rules regulating work processes, discipline, leave, working time, remote work, confidentiality, personal data and communication with employees.

TB Legal assists companies with the preparation of internal employment policies, internal regulations, disciplinary procedures, HR documentation and the broader legal framework for personnel management.

A properly prepared internal policy reduces uncertainty, strengthens the employer’s position in case of a potential dispute and helps the company manage employment relations transparently and in compliance with the law.

V. Employee Dismissal and Termination of Employment Relations

Employee dismissal is one of the most sensitive issues in labour law. An incorrectly conducted termination procedure may result in a court dispute, claims for lost salary, compensation or recognition of dismissal as unlawful.

TB Legal assists employers with assessing grounds for termination, preparing notices, managing disciplinary procedures, analysing evidence and planning dismissal in a legally sound manner.

We also assist employees who believe that they have been unlawfully dismissed or that their labour rights have been violated.

VI. Labour Disputes and Representation

Labour disputes may concern unlawful dismissal, unpaid salary, lost remuneration, disciplinary liability, breach of an employment contract, working conditions, discrimination or other employment-related matters.

TB Legal provides preparation of legal positions, assessment of evidence, drafting of claims and responses, negotiation support and, where necessary, representation before courts or other relevant bodies.

Success in labour disputes often depends not only on the legal basis of the claim, but also on how properly the process has been documented and how timely the legal response has been.

VII. Who Needs Labour Law Services?

Labour law services are relevant for both employers and employees.

Employers need legal support when preparing employment contracts, developing internal policies and HR documentation, planning employee dismissal, preventing labour disputes or defending their position in an ongoing dispute.

Employees may need legal assistance when signing an employment contract, facing a dispute with an employer, believing they were unlawfully dismissed, not receiving due remuneration or seeking a legal assessment of their rights.

VIII. Employment of Foreigners and Labour Migration Requirements

An important part of labour law services is legal support related to the employment of foreigners in Georgia. Since 2026, the legal regime for employment of foreign citizens has changed significantly. As a rule, paid employment activity of a foreign citizen who does not hold a permanent residence permit is now connected with obtaining a special right to labour activity.

This increases the employer’s legal responsibility and requires proper management of vacancy publication, preparation of relevant documentation, compliance with deadlines and ensuring that the employment process complies with applicable regulations.

TB Legal assists employers with legal assessment of the foreign employee hiring process, preparation of employment contracts, planning procedures related to the right to labour activity, reducing the risk of sanctions and ensuring compliance with labour migration requirements.

IX. Employer Risks When Hiring Foreign Employees

Hiring a foreign employee does not only mean signing an employment contract. It is necessary to assess whether the foreign employee has the legal right to work in Georgia, whether a special labour activity permit is required, whether the job position is properly defined and whether the employment process complies with applicable administrative requirements.

For employers, it is particularly important to comply with deadlines, prepare all necessary documentation and notify the relevant authorities in a timely manner in case of changes to or termination of the employment relationship.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in financial sanctions, legal uncertainty regarding the employment relationship and disruption of the company’s activities. Therefore, before hiring a foreign employee, it is advisable to assess the process legally and plan the employment model in advance.
