Background
In November 2017 the International Labour Organization and the Government of Denmark signed four-year agreement for the implementation of the project “Inclusive Labour Market for Job Creation in Georgia”. The project aims at improving labour market institutions that encapsulate and/or have the capacity to develop legislative and policy frameworks, as well as deliver services, which will lead to a well-functioning labour market that generates decent work opportunities.
In line with its international commitments, Georgia has made a significant progress in adopting legislative changes and implementing policy reforms to promote safety at work and establish an effective enforcement mechanism. On September 29, 2020 the Parliament of Georgia voted for amendments to the Organic Law of Georgia “Georgian Labour Code” and adoption of the new Law of Georgia on “Labour Inspection”. Amendments to the Labour Code outstandingly strengthen the legal framework for the protection of the labour rights of Georgian workers by meeting the requirements of GSP (generalized system of preferences), EU-Georgia Association Agreement and International Labour Organization.
Georgian Labour Code defines that state supervision over labour legislation of Georgia is ensured by the LEPL Labour Inspection functions, authority and power of which is guaranteed by the newly adopted Law of Georgia on Labour Inspection. Law of Georgia on “Labour Inspection” establishes an independent enforcement body, LEPL Labour Inspection Service and defines basic principles, authority and power of inspection, rights and obligations, and ensure effective implementation of labour norms.
In order to give effect to the above-mentioned laws a number of steps are to be taken by the Government of Georgia.
