Labour Code of Georgia (No. 4113-RS)

This Law regulates labour and its concomitant relations in the territory of Georgia, unless they are otherwise governed by other special law or international agreements of Georgia. Labour-related questions not governed by this Law or by other special law shall be regulated by the norms of the Civil Code of Georgia. A labour agreement may not establish norms different from those provided for by this Law that worsen the conditions of employees.
Among others, the Law provides that Labour relations, and pre-contractual relations, including when publishing a vacancy notice and at a selection stage, shall prohibit any discrimination on the grounds of race, skin colour, language, ethnicity or social status, nationality, origin, material status or position, place of residence, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, religious, public, political or other affiliation, including affiliation to trade unions, political or other opinions, or on any other grounds. For the purposes of this Law, discrimination is the intentional or negligent discrimination or exclusion of a person, or the giving to him/her a preference, on the grounds of race, skin colour, language, ethnic or social affiliation, nationality, origin, property or titular status, employment status, place of residence, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, health status, religious, public, political or other affiliation (including affiliation to trade unions), marital status, political or other opinions, or on any other grounds, with the purpose or effect of denying or breaching equal opportunities or treatment in employment and occupation. Special measures taken to meet the needs of persons who are normally recognised as requiring special protection or support based on their age, gender, disability, family responsibility, and social or cultural status, shall not be deemed discrimination.
