What are the notice requirements for unlimited and fixed-term contracts in Georgia?

In Georgia, the notice period for resignation and dismissal varies depending on whether the employee is under probation or has completed the probationary period. These rules apply to both unlimited contracts and fixed-term contracts.


Resignation Notice

  • During Probation: No notice period is required (0 days).

  • After Probation: The employee must provide 30 days' notice before resigning.


Dismissal Notice

  • During Probation: No notice period is required (0 days), meaning dismissal can be immediate.

  • After Probation: The employer must provide 30 days' notice before dismissing the employee. Alternatively, the employer can opt for immediate dismissal by giving a 3-day notice and providing payment in lieu of the 30-day notice period.


These notice periods are intended to ensure a fair process for both employees and employers, offering a reasonable timeframe for transition.
