Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The Georgia Department of Labor administers and enforces civil rights and labor standards that have been enacted for the protection of state workers. For the most part, the state law follows the federal law.
The state law has a lengthy list of exemptions from the minimum wage law.
Georgia employers that utilize 14(c) certificates must pay workers with disabilities at least half the federal minimum wage from July 1, 2026, to the earlier of June 30, 2027, or the date on which their certificate expires. After that, employers are prohibited from paying workers with disabilities less and must pay all workers with disabilities at least the federal minimum wage.
