Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Re: Can an employeer make the location of your residence a condition of employme

What you probably need to do is to determine why your employer is making this a condition of employment. For example, does your employer need you to be available to work unscheduled times with little notice? Does the employer want to expand your working hours? These and other questions might answer why the employer wants you to be closer. I am not aware of anything prohibiting your employer from making such a requirement, but unless there are specific reasons why the employer needs you to be closer, it may not be good business practices. The only way that I could see that the employer could not make this requirement legally is if there is some discriminatory reason for the requirement.
