Georgia’s private-sector employment-discrimination framework is largely federal. The state’s general fair-employment statute applies only to state government; age and disability claims have limited state-level coverage. Damages modeling accordingly tracks federal caps under Title VII, ADEA, and ADA, with back-pay and front-pay components uncapped.
Atlanta fintech and payments
Metro Atlanta’s concentration of payments and fintech employers produces compensation structures with equity components at varying stages of maturity, from early-stage options through public-company RSUs. The model treats each grant according to its vesting and liquidity profile, using documented share-price history where available.
Film-industry compensation
Georgia’s tax-incentive-driven film production sector produces project-based compensation with union-rate scales, location-premium components, and residual structures that require modeling approaches distinct from those used in salaried contexts.
Worklife & discount-rate notes
Georgia's logistics, fintech, film-production, and healthcare sectors concentrate in the Atlanta metro. Atlanta-area fintech and payments plaintiffs face equity-heavy compensation at mid-stage companies with refresh grants and IPO-contingent structures; film-industry plaintiffs face project-based compensation; healthcare plaintiffs at major Atlanta systems face administrative-executive LTIP structures.
