Georgia employment is governed by the practice of 'at will.' This means that employers may release their employees for no reason, good reason, or bad reason. However, discrimination against certain groups is illegal. These protected groups involve distinguishing factors of race, gender, age, and disability. No negative consequences can be caused by an employer based on those things, including demotions. Wrongful termination in Georgia can be resolved as in any other state with the help of legal professionals. A lawyer is especially helpful because one must prove the employer based the termination illegally, rather than simply for business purpose.
