# Labor Law Training for HR

> Source: legal.ge, https://legal.ge/en/service/labor-and-employment-law-en/labor-law-training-for-hr-en

Labour law training for HR managers in Georgia is not a translation of foreign certification programmes — its syllabus is written by the structure of the Georgian Labour Code itself. American certificate curricula are built on a different legal system, and importing them uncritically into Georgian practice is a mistake. The four decisive modules of a Georgian training programme are: the scope and limits of the law (Article 1); the termination procedure of the employment contract (Article 48) — the source of the classic failures; the information and consultation duties (Article 70); and the administrative fine matrix (Article 77) — it is here that the business case for training spend is born.

## Module One — The Perimeter of the Law

Article 1 establishes the scope: the law governs labour and related relationships on the territory of Georgia, unless they are regulated differently by another special law or by Georgia's international treaties (paragraph 1). In matters that neither this law nor another special law regulates, the norms of the Civil Code apply (paragraph 2) — an HR manager therefore cannot confine himself to a single code. And third, the decisive floor: an employment contract may not establish norms that worsen the employee's position compared with the law (paragraph 3). These three paragraphs are the opening module of the training; without them, all subsequent knowledge lacks context.

From 200 to 1 000 GEL by income bracket; doubled for protected groups and repetition (Article 77).
