The Legal Framework of the NGO as Employer
A non-commercial legal person hires its staff under the same Labour Code as any commercial company — no special employment rules for the non-governmental sector exist in Georgian legislation. Hiring in an organization therefore depends on knowing four norms: the pre-contractual information duties (Article 11), the form and term of the contract (Article 12), the mandatory list of essential terms (Article 14), and the continuation of work after expiry (Article 51). These four knots form the legal frame in which an NGO acts in the employer's role.
