Why build a team in Georgia

Overview

Georgia or Sakartvelo, a country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia, stands as an emerging figure in the global IT landscape. Its unique geographical location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia makes it an attractive spot for business and technological advancements.

Tbilisi, the capital, is becoming the heart of Georgia's technological innovation, hosting an increasing number of tech events, startup accelerators, and R&D initiatives. This vibrant city attracts a diverse group of tech talents skilled in various sectors, from software development to digital communications, contributing to a dynamic tech ecosystem.

The Georgian IT sector, though still in the early stages of development, is gaining momentum, driven by a government committed to digital transformation, an improving educational system, and increasing interest from foreign investors recognizing the country's potential.

Georgia's advantageous geopolitical position, coupled with its growing emphasis on innovation and technology, is gradually establishing it as a noteworthy destination for businesses seeking emerging markets for software development services. The country's dedication to tech evolution, supported by an increasing pool of tech enthusiasts and a developing IT sector, marks Georgia as an up-and-coming hub for technology investments and collaborations.

Employment Conditions Overview

ALLSTARSIT takes care of everything for you – we have a 360° approach with a full recruitment cycle

Payroll Cycle

In Georgia, the payroll cycle typically follows a monthly schedule, with salary payments issued on a consistent day each month, no later than the final working day of that month.

Employer Taxes

2.00%

Overtime Pay

Any work conducted beyond the standard weekly working hours qualifies as overtime, the specifics of which are governed by employment contracts or collective agreements. There are established limits on the amount of overtime an employee can work, particularly when it involves working on holidays, with the cap set at 48 hours per week. Separate maximum working hour restrictions are in place for underage workers.

Compensation for overtime that exceeds 48 hours a week is set at 150.00% of the employee's standard salary rate.

Paid Leave

Full-time employees are entitled to 24 working days of annual leave each year.

Those employed in hazardous positions may qualify for an extra 10 paid calendar days off annually.

After completing 11 months of continuous service with the same employer, employees become eligible for an additional 15 days of unpaid holiday leave.

If taking all entitled leave within the current year is assessed to adversely affect business operations, employees are allowed to carry over unused leave days into the following year, but this cannot extend beyond two consecutive years. Employee agreement is required before implementing such carryovers.

Sick Leave

Employers are required to continue regular salary payments in cases of temporary incapacity for up to 40 continuous calendar days, or for a total incapacity not exceeding 60 calendar days within a 6-month span.

To qualify for these payments during leave, employees must provide a sickness certificate from an authorized medical professional starting from the first day of absence.

Public and Provincial Holidays

Public holidays

Notice Period

Both employer and employee are obligated to provide a 30-day calendar notice for termination. During the probation period, however, no notice is mandated.

Any notice given must be documented in writing.

13th Month Bonus

In Georgia, there's no legal obligation for a 13th-month salary. Nonetheless, employers have the latitude to award bonuses as they see fit.

Grow your team in Georgia with ALLSTARSIT

Setting up a separate business entity in every location where you plan to hire employees or a team is time-consuming and incurs high legal fees.

At the same time, navigating local labor laws and adhering to employee expectations can be a complex and challenging task, as is finding accurate and up-to-date employment information for all your potential hiring locations. Not to mention that tracking invoices and managing employee contracts through email and spreadsheets is messy and error-prone.

Compliance is critical in this context, and we must ensure that we follow local guidelines, particularly regarding taxes and legalities.

ALLSTARSIT streamlines the process by offering an integrated solution for finding and hiring employees, managing HR and payroll, and automating compliance across 20+ countries. All simple and hassle-free.
