Labor Minister: New rules ban harassment

Minister of Labor Hassan Raddad announced the issuance of Decision No. 162 of 2026, which sets out the general rules for regulating the operation of private sector establishments in Egypt. This can be considered as the "Company Constitution," governing the relationship between employers and workers and ensuring the rights of both parties. The law aims to promote a fair and balanced working environment, provide protection for workers' rights, address issues of harassment, bullying, and violence, and regulate wages, flexible work arrangements, working hours, and leaves. It emphasizes combating forced labor and discrimination, seeks to improve working conditions, and ensure stability in the investment environment. Additionally, it underscores the importance of having a written contract for every worker and maintaining a clear accountability system. These rules are designed to foster a progressive and comprehensive work culture that balances workers’ rights with employers’ needs, enhances labor market stability, and encourages investment in Egypt.
