Georgia Payroll Compliance Guide

Streamline your expansion into Georgia with PayDD's integrated payroll and Employer of Record (EOR) services. We ensure full compliance with the Labor Code of Georgia and regulations from the Revenue Service, handling everything from employee contracts in GEL to mandatory employer contributions, estimated at 10-20%. While local payments via Bank Transfer or SWIFT typically operate on a T+1 schedule, PayDD's global T+0 instant settlement network allows you to fund your Georgian payroll instantly, eliminating the 3-5 day delays and uncertainty of traditional cross-border SWIFT payments. Operate seamlessly in Tbilisi or Batumi with our local expertise, covering all tax filings and social security for your team.

Note: The above describes Georgia's regulatory environment. PayDD is a cross-border payment platform and does not act as employer or manage tax filings in Georgia.

Georgia Payroll Compliance Guide — Compliance Details

PayDD ensures adherence to Georgia's Labor Code and the mandates of the Revenue Service. We manage the employer's social security (pension) contribution, which is a variable rate typically falling within the 10-20% range, alongside accurate monthly payroll processing—the standard cycle in Georgia. A key risk for foreign employers is misclassifying contractors or failing to register correctly with local authorities, leading to significant penalties. As your official EOR in Georgia, PayDD assumes all legal liability, ensuring proper classification, registration, and timely remittance of all taxes and contributions, fully mitigating this exposure.

Note: PayDD provides payment disbursement services in Georgia. Employment compliance and local tax obligations remain the responsibility of the hiring company.

Real-World Use Case

A UK-based fintech company needed to quickly hire two software developers in Tbilisi but was stalled by complex local entity registration and slow, expensive SWIFT transfers for salary payments. Using PayDD's payroll service, they onboarded employees in under 48 hours with AI-powered KYC. PayDD manages all payroll compliance, and the company now funds salaries via T+0 instant settlement, saving over 15 days in administrative delay per quarter and reducing international payment fees by 70% compared to their previous banking channel.
