FAQ

Ing to the Labor Code of Georgia, working hours for an adult should not exceed 40 hours per week (Article 24, Paragraph 2 of the Labor Code of Georgia). Georgian legislation sets a different rule for enterprises with specific exemptions, where standard working hours should not exceed 48 hours per week.

The law says you are protected when you: Speak up about wages that are owed to you • Report an injury or a health and safety hazard • File a claim or complaint with a state agency • Join together with other workers to ask for changes.

Breaks are important. Not taking enough breaks leads to burnout and higher stress levels. Benefits of breaks: Increases productivity.

Meal breaks lasting 30 minutes or longer can be unpaid, so long as employees don't work during that time. Employers are not required to give rest breaks. Employees working 6 or more consecutive hours must receive a 30-minute meal break.

Neither the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) nor Georgia law require breaks or meal periods be given to workers. However, many employers do provide breaks and meal periods. Breaks of short duration (from 5 to 20 minutes) are common.

In Georgia, there are no state or federal laws that cap working hours, including overtime hours. This applies to hourly employees. Therefore, non-exempt hourly employees over 16 years old in Georgia can work up to any number of hours per day or week.

Presently, no OSHA standard to regulate extended and unusual shifts in the workplace exists. A work period of eight consecutive hours over five days with at least eight hours of rest in between shifts defines a standard shift. Any shift that goes beyond this standard is considered to be extended or unusual.
