FAQ
Georgia law generally tracks federal law. An employer may terminate an at-will employment relationship at any time, without or without cause, for any reason or no reason at all, as long as the reason is not discriminatory.
Discrimination involves unfair treatment based on factors such as race, gender, age, or disability. Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against you for exercising your legal rights, such as filing a complaint or participating in an investigation.
Both Georgia statute 19-11-9.2 and the Federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 require all Georgia employers to report all newly hired employees, including rehires, to the "State New Hire Reporting System". No employers are exempt.
Here's a list of all the Georgia forms you'll need to hire your employee: A job offer letter, signed by your new employee. A pre-employment and background check consent. A W2 Tax Form. The I-9 Form and Supporting Documents, which will prove your employee's right to work in the United States.
All new employees should complete and sign the Federal W-4 and State G-4 tax forms. The forms will be effective with the first paycheck.
