Overview on remote work regulations in Georgia

Even in times of a pandemic, an employer may not forcibly use an employee based in Georgia's private living space as office space. However, according to the regulation in section 28 b para. 4 Georgia Infection Protection Act, employees now have a legal obligation to switch to a home office unless there are reasons to the contrary.

Reasons that speak against this can be, for example, spatial confinement, poor internet connection or interference by third parties.
