What the Georgian Labor Code requires
Notice period
For employer-initiated termination of an indefinite contract, the employee must receive at least 30 days written notice OR be paid the equivalent as pay-in-lieu. Probation-period terminations require only 3 days notice.
Business-reasons severance
If termination is for business reasons (redundancy, restructuring, economic necessity), the employer must pay an additional minimum of 60 days of salary as severance compensation on top of the notice obligation.
Pension contribution
For Georgian citizens participating in the Mandatory Funded Pension Scheme, the employer's 2% pension contribution applies on top of the severance payment. This is an additional employer cost, not direct compensation to the employee.
When severance is NOT owed
No statutory severance is owed for terminations due to gross misconduct, voluntary resignation, natural expiry of a fixed-term contract, or mutual-agreement separations.
