Egypt issues rules for private sector work
The Egyptian Ministry of Labor has issued the general regulations for organizing work in private sector companies, aiming to balance workers' rights with employers' needs and to reduce workplace disputes. The new policies encompass ten main pillars, including the protection of human dignity, equal opportunity, wage protection, remote work and flexible work arrangements, training programs, employment contracts based on documentation, regulation of vacations and working hours, disciplinary accountability procedures, safeguarding acquired rights, and the preparation and review of internal regulations. The regulations emphasize that disciplinary dismissal in cases of gross misconduct should be carried out by the labor court, with the proceeds from monetary penalties allocated to a social services fund. These regulations have been developed in consultation with all relevant parties and aim to promote a stable and supportive work environment that keeps pace with digital transformation and enhances the protection of workers' rights.
