May 3–12, 2024: Weekends in Georgia
Who and how spends time on these days? How to manage relations with employees during the weekends on May 7, 8, and 10, and how is work compensated on weekends?
May 1, 2024
Weekends in Georgia can be established by the Labor Code or Government Resolution
- According to the Labor Code, weekends are: May 3–6, 9, and 12.
- According to the Government Resolution, May 7–8 and 10, 2024, are declared as weekends.
Important:
- 1Work on weekends established by the Labor Code of Georgia (May 3–6, 9, and 12) is considered overtime and is compensated at an increased rate. This rate is not legislatively defined, but judicial practice is guided by an increased coefficient of 1.25 — if a higher one is not defined in the employment contract.
If you decide to grant the employee the right to rest on May 7, 8, and 10, 2024, you can do it as follows:
| What to do | How to register | How to pay |
|---|---|---|
| Provide unpaid leave (up to the annual 15 calendar days of unpaid leave) | 1) Employee's application for vacation 2) Order to grant vacation 3) Indication of unpaid leave on the May 2024 time schedule | No pay |
| Provide regular paid vacation leave (within 24 working days of paid vacation) | 1) Employee's application for vacation leave 2) An order granting the vacation 3) Indication of paid vacation on the time schedule for May 2024 | The vacation is paid as standard in accordance with the labor contract |
| To grant vacation days off with subsequent working off | 1) Employer's order + familiarization of employees with it OR additional agreement to the employment contract 2) Proper reflection of days off/working days in the time schedule for May 2024 | Working days are paid as standard in accordance with the labor contract |
| Provide additional paid (or partially paid) vacation on weekends | 1) Employer's order on granting additional days of paid (partially paid) vacation + familiarization of employees with it OR additional agreement to the labor contract 2) Indication of paid vacation in the working time schedule for May 2024 | Vacation is paid in accordance with the order or additional agreement to the labor contract |
* In case of overtime, the working week cannot exceed 40 hours, and the employee must be provided with at least one day off per week.
