National origin discrimination - Georgia
Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The Georgia statutes do not include provisions on national origin discrimination in employment for private companies, though Georgia does have statutes covering public employers. The regulations of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) still apply to private employers.
Georgia does have certain requirements for employment applications regarding “multiracial” designations. The term “multiracial” means having parents of different races.
All written forms, applications, questionnaires, and other written documents or materials produced by or for or used by any person, firm, association, or corporation conducting business within Georgia requiring the employment of labor which request information on the racial or ethnic identification of an employee and which contain a list of racial and ethnic classifications from which such employee must select one must include among their choices the classification “multiracial.”
No such written document or computer software described above may bear the designation “other” as a racial or ethnic classification after July 1, 1994, unless the document was printed and in stock before July 1, 1994.
