11 Enforcement Legal Review Within the 2020 Labour Law Reform, the Law on Labour Inspection was approved intro­ducing the establishment of a fully-fledged labour inspection service in Georgia. The Law on Labour Inspection is based on the ILO strategic compliance concept. According to the ILO Approach to Strategic Compliance Planning for Labour Inspectorates, the tradition­al enforcement model(with reactive and routine inspections) is no longer sufficient to achieve effective and efficient enforcement and sustained compliance with labour legisla­tion.

The Law on Labour Inspection further specifies that in performing its activities, the Labour Inspection Service must use the powers under the given law in a manner that ensures the greatest possible impact on the effective application of the labour legislation.
