Answer first

Remote Worker & Contractor Classification

Remote-worker and contractor classification in Georgia: employment terms, time, pay, data, foreign workers and employer risk.

Before acting, verify the legal basis, deadline and consistency of the documents. This guide is a preparation framework, not an individual legal opinion.

Step-by-step process

1. Describe how the work is actually performed day to day
2. Distinguish employee, contractor and service provider
3. Align contract, policy, time and pay records
4. Assess data, tax, foreign-worker authorisation and termination

Required-document checklist

• Contract and job or project description
• Instructions, emails, messages and management records
• Working-time and payment records
• Confidentiality, IP and data-protection terms
• Foreign worker’s status, employer and work-right file

Authorities, translation and representation

The specific procedure determines the authority, personal-appearance requirement, power of attorney, notarisation, certified translation, apostille or legalisation. A foreign document should be assessed under both its country of origin and the receiving authority's rules.

Key risks and common mistakes

• Using an employee relationship under a contractor label
• No record of time or overtime
• Unclear IP and data rights
• Missing work-right analysis for a remote foreign employee
