OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Conformity with O.C.G.A.
§ 45-20-50 et seq. required. - No state agency may make any deductions from its employees' salaries for charitable purposes without specific legislative authority, and any agency making such deductions must ensure that its operation is in total conformity with this article; otherwise, the deductions are illegal. 1982 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 82-79.
Employment benefit provided by O.C.G.A.
§ 45-20-50, et seq., not a gratuity. - Since charitable deductions are authorized by O.C.G.A. § 45-20-50, et seq., to provide employees of various state agencies with an additional employment benefit, such benefit becomes part of the employment contract and consequently is not a gratuity to the employees. 1982 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 82-79.
