Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Re: Loss of job

Unfortunately, unless you are a union member or have a contract that protects against being fired without cause, you are not protected. The legislature has decided not to protect employees against employers' actions like this. Simply put, the law needs to be changed.

Re: Loss of job

I will add that the law protects your decision to move, take the job and, if you do not like the job, quit on the spot and find a new one. To say you are not protected, or that new laws (and, not coincidentally, more reasons for lawsuits and legal fees) need to be enacted to protect one from their own ability to freely contract, is a fallacy and a gross distortion of the situation.

Re: Loss of job

Unless you had a contract for a certain term, jobs are "at will" and either party can terminate the relationship. That is sommething that should be considered prior to accepting a job.
