The current amendments are a logical continuation of the 2013 revision and adopted with the aim to further approximate Georgia's labor Code with requirements imposed by the DCFTA (Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the EU), as well as the Europe - an Union Association Agreement, therefore aiming to better protect   employees. The 2020 amendments were initiated for discussion by the parliament of Georgia on April 27, 2020 and swiftly went through all three readings and promulgation stage within four months, and coming into force in early October 2020.
