How is sick leave handled in Georgia?

In Georgia, sick leave is included as part of annual leave. There is no separate statutory allowance specifically designated for sick days under Georgian labor law.


Key Points:

  • Employees use their paid annual leave entitlement when taking time off due to illness.

  • The standard minimum annual leave is 24 paid calendar days per year.

  • Employers may choose to provide additional sick leave benefits at their discretion, but this is not mandated by law.
