legislation including amongst others, issues
related to salaries, holidays, working hours, employment contracts, termination of employment
contracts, end of service benefits

by The Ministry they encompass
three new decrees that are set to
provide the employees with a
more secure work environment in
a battle to safeguard their
interests. It is noteworthy that the
New Law paves way for
transparency and clarity as well
