Unlike other states, Georgia's workers' compensation law doesn't distinguish between full- and part-time employees. The law also doesn't set timeframes on employment; therefore, whether an employee is hired indefinitely or for a season is irrelevant to workers' comp requirements. In other words: Yes, many temporary and seasonal workers are entitled to workers' compensation in Georgia, as long as their employer has at least 3 employees. While temporary and seasonal workers are treated no differently than employees under Georgia's workers' compensation laws, certain aspects of their employment could make things confusing when it comes to receiving compensation. For example, a temporary employee should have a firm understanding of who their employer is. If a worker is placed in a job by a temp agency, chances are the temp agency is their actual employer and the agency would be responsible for workers' compensation if the temp employee is injured on the job. What's more, certain categories of temporary and seasonal workers—such as independent contractors or those in the farming/agricultural industry—might not be eligible for workers' compensation benefits under Georgia law.
