Do I need to tell my employees that I have been charged with a misdemeanor simple battery?

Tell your employees: I know of no duty in GA to disclose this to your employees. If you are asking instead if you need to tell your employer, in GA, you would need to disclose this: 1) If your employer has a rule that requires such disclosure. This rule is common in certain industries: trucking, security, health care, child care, etc. 2) If you are a licensed professional, such as a doctor, nurse, lawyer, CPA, etc... Otherwise, I know of no duty for you to disclose this.
